The oil boom has hit San Angelo. I've heard from friends that it's getting really difficult to find housing.

I heard the San Angelo boom too. At first I thought, oh San Angelo is having its own little mini-boom. Aw, that's adorable, but if you guys want to see a real boom head on up to Midland sometime.

But apparently, San Angelo is having a real, full grown, grade A boom. I'm glad, I would like to see all of the cities of West Texas benefit from the oil boom.
