Seriously, if you would've shown me those pics and asked me where i thought they were, i would've said "Dallas." Just about every neighborhood in the Dallas with boatloads of 40 year old homes look like those.

The house in the bottom pic looks like a lot of homes i've seen in the area between Grand Prairie and Ft. Worth.

Right - I wouldn't know either, as my husband and I also live in a Parade Home in a beautiful Texas neighborhood.

Matt, you and I are both fans of Tyler and other East Texas towns and cities. I thought you would enjoy this little collection of photos from Tyler and the surrounding area.

















Hey, here's my house!


Yeah, so cookie cutter, so boring...such poor quality...

Well, not "knowing" is just pure ignorance. Most of Texas is quite green and lush.

I didn't read through every page of this thread, but hope this is not a repeat. Somebody sent me this joke the other day:

State of TX follows NY lead, releases map of gun owners

You just gotta love those Texans!!!

MUCH of Texas is green and lush - more than most people think. Most of the eastern half of the state is hilly and green, and loaded with trees and wildflowers. Where I live in east Texas looks a lot like where I used to live in northwest Georgia in fact.

Here's a very typical photo of east Texas terrain:

Not the nicest looking homes by any means but most certainly rivals the Northeast in terms of greenery.

Please, I agree that such buildings are really nice, but that doesn't change the fact that the 90% of Texas' urbanity is garbage...
P.S. I used to live in Texas.
