It will be interesting to see if longer-term work from home is successful and if that creates people moving out of cities back into smaller and smaller towns.

Gotta say, you might be on to something, seeing as how that part of Texas isn't known for their local cuisine, or much actually, except....um... Okay, someone help on this one.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
I had no idea. My wife and I were driving from Long Beach, CA to Fairfax, VA back in 2004 and that is the one of only two times I've been through the Panhandle in my lifetime, and the only time I've stopped there for anything other than refilling the old gas guzzler. I grew up in Montgomery, County, so my apologies for not being up to date on the sordid history of Cadillac Ranch.CanyonAg77 said:No Spin Ag said:neil88 said:except Cadillac Ranch...?No Spin Ag said:fullback44 said:

Loser, loser. Such a stupid "attraction", placed by a pervert.

Taking with a grain of salt as he is just an iron worker, not privy to all project details, he said us was for the locals (Panhandle) cows.
Somebody did their homework, hopefully, and sees possibility.

Lotta good folks living in the East Texas Pineywoods. Don't mean it wouldn't suck to live there.

Stop by one of the Donut Stops in the morning on your way out and get a cherry donut. You can thank me later.

Oh, good lord, those are so good. I have to purposefully stay away.

The Vanishing Texas Panhandle population
While not experiencing the explosive growth of the rest of Texas, a lot of the 26 counites of the Texas Panhandle are actually pretty stable.
Three of the smaller (population) counties have slight increases. About 17 have declines of 800 or less. Four have losses of 1600 or less. Only one (Potter, north Amarillo) has a huge loss, of over 5,000.
All told, 25 counties have a net loss of a little over 13,000.
Randall County (South Amarillo, Canyon, and Happy) has a net gain of 18,678.
So a small net increase, and not a disappearing population, as much as a migrating one.
That is an old map. Route 66 was gone, and it was I-40 by 1985. WTAMU has not been West Texas State since 1993. It is newer than 1965, as it has Lake Meredith. I-27 began in about 1975, so that's probably about a 1970 map.Thaddeus73 said:

What is the water situation going forward, concerning agriculture, cattle, etc..?
Funny, I have heard rumors (rumors, only) of Californians buying a $70,000 house in Happy for $200,000.BenTheGoodAg said:
Well, at least we don't have all the Californians moving here.

The largest dairy in North America is 4 miles west of Etter. They are building dairies left and right up here. Many of the owners are moving over from California with their herds because the enviro whackos made it impossible for them to stay in business at home. The new cheese factory being built is beside a gigantic new dairy being built 8 or 9 miles NW of Dumas.
And to the arrogant ***** in the coal powered car who would rather be homeless than live in the panhandle, by all means stay the hell out. We take pride in having nice folks up here. Don't need your kind.

Absolutely. I remember good wells in Dumas doing 800 gpm, and tying two together to get enough in a holding pond to run a half mile pivot.No Spin Ag said:CanyonAg77 said:Severe declines for row crops continue, but farmers have switched to more and more efficient methods.
