jk (well, somewhat)
Why in the world would you want to move to Poteet? We lived on the outskirts, north of Poteet for several years and I am SOOOOOO glad we don't live there anymore. My daughter and her husband live on a farm near Poteet now, and she'd
love to get outta there as well (but alas, son-in-law loves farm life).
Schools - we didn't use the public schools while we lived there. We homeschooled, so couldn't tell ya.
Economy - farming or welfare. Pretty much stinks.
Work ethic - see above
Residents - everybody knows everybody and each others business. Unless you're a third generation resident, your kid won't win anything at the stock show. Nothin' for the teenagers to do but stay at house parties till 5 or 6 in the morning, hookin' up.
Sight unseen? Well, the town itself is pretty darned ugly. Some of the farms outside of town are pretty. Lots of grass farms. Well, it's pretty
this year cause we had lots of rain. Last year it looked like a dust bowl and everyone was scrambling to sell off their cattle cause they had no grass in the fields to feed them.
(Can you tell I'm glad to be outta there???
