this doesnt do it justice... only pic i could find of it in the FW mod environment but you can get an idea, it looks way better in person...




It also has that william kentridge exhibition....
matthew bourbon reviews william kentridge: Review: William Kentridge: Five Themes – Art & Seek – A service from KERA for North Texas (http://www.kera.org/artandseek/content/2009/08/28/review-william-kentridge-five-themes/ - broken link)

and then there is phillip haas across the street:
Philip Haas - Kimbell Art Museum

intense man. fort worth is the place to be for art during this time of 2009. something like this, this combo, doesnt come along often.

dallas is usually ahead of the curve in terms of "art scene" in regards to dfw, b/c of the amount of independent galleries ( deep ellum and the design destrict) but this time of the year fort worth has some action going on.

Abilene-(born here)
McCamey
Lubbock-went to Texas Tech
Midland
San Angelo

My family moved away from my hometown of Abilene when I was about 3 years old to McCamey. McCamey is a small town about 50 miles south of Odessa (my dad took a job transfer there). We then moved back to Abilene when I was about 8 years old where I lived until I went to college in Lubbock, so I mostly grew up in Abilene. After college, I lived in Midland for a little while (got a job out there) and then lived in San Angelo for a while (got a job down there). Finally I moved back to Abilene in 1994 (got a better job), and I'm still here. I would say I like Abilene and San Angelo the most overall. I like cities of about that size (about 100,000 in pop). I liked Lubbock a lot too even though it is twice that size. Midland was a nice town too in that 100,000 pop. range but I didn't like it as much there. McCamey was a desert hell-hole but the people there were very nice (would not live there again though-too small and too remote)

Been here my whole life but hope to move out of state just to get a little bit of a different perspective. Love the West Coast, whether it be sunny San Diego or rainy Seattle. I'd even like to maybe spend a few years in British Columbia.

Hope to probably retire in Hill Country though (Wimberley/Dripping Springs).

Shepherd ..... on a family members farm

New Caney .... next to a large Equestrian facility and man did I love that.

Kemah ....... I can walk to the famous Boardwalk and I love it more then I can say here. I can walk to the Gulf, I live 15 steps from the Bayou with all the wildlife at my window view. I smell the Gulf breezes all day and night. I dont even need a car to get to at least 25 places to eat which include about 15 top notch restaurants. Several nights each week we just sit on the boardwalk and watch the boats coming in from a days fishing or recreation.

All this in exactly 12 months

Though last month my company moved from Galveston to Houston's Galleria area I will commute it because I dont want to leave here.
