Your attempt at humor is, at best, pathetic



It is hard to find a state comparable to Texas because of so many large cities there

My state of Oregon has really no good matches with Texas based on industry, scenery, weather, importance etc

Maybe Austin and Portland??

Corvallis and College Station??

La Grande and San Marcos??

Albuquerque and El Paso


the Rio Grande flows through both cities

both have good Mexican food and large Hispanic populations

both are desert and average lots of sunshine

both have a mountain backdrop and a tram

both are university cities

both have tons of NM and TX plates around town

both have crappy skylines

both have a similar sized metro

The old Victorian houses look like the homes in Savannah. Or Plantation homes. I'm not really sure of the difference.
