I live in Palestine a town of 18,000 & the 5 things I love about Palestine is as follows:

1. Piney wood area. Palestine is full of pine trees, has a community forest, it is close to Davy Crocket Forest & the whole area is full of beauty

In a 200 mile radius which for Texas is close we have Dallas 110 miles Fort Worth 130 miles, Houston 150 miles, Galveston 200 miles, Austin 180 miles, Bryan-college station, 120 I think Tyler 46 miles, Longview 80 miles, Waco 100 miles Temple, Killeen 140 miles, Shreveport,LA 120 & lots of cool towns

3. Texas Railroad: Which goes from Palestine to Rusk. It is beautiful & scenic

4. Scenic City: The city has a great Downtown with a very cool courthouse, it has a great city park. Reagan park which is right by downtown & has a scenic train overpass. the city is full of scenery

5. 2 school systems. Palestine I.S.D The Palestine Wildcats (which Adrian Peterson was) & Westwood Panthers. We have too football stadiums & too schools to go for the win. It is so fun to watch the annual Wildcats v.s. Panthers game.

5 things I like about Youngstown:

1. Home | Mill Creek MetroParks
2. High quality of life for not a lot of money (I'm only working 32hrs / week, but can still comfortably afford my 3 bedroom house adjacent to the park)
3. The community is small enough so that one person, if they work hard, can make a difference.
4. The history, and the infrastructure / architecture / amenities that remains because of it.
5. Life moves at a slower pace. (I almost never had to work late, or on weekends. If you weren't finished at 5, it could probably wait until the next morning.)
