What does the OT know about this area? On paper it looks to be decent for raising a family. Nice rolling hills and forested. Lakes and rivers.

Plenty of restaurants and shops for whatever you may need. Lufkin has a St Luke’s hospital. Not sure which is superior Lufkin vs Nac. Just referring to the area in general.

Ewwwwwww---in that general area, Tyler is better.

A lot of Lufkin is ghetto.
Nacodoches...I mean, SFA is there....

I'd move to Climax, me. Right, smack in the middle of those two metroplexes and you get to tell people you're heading to Climax every damn day. Plus, close proximity to Ray's in Lufkin.

I have said for years that Lufkin is Texas's West Monroe.

I lived in Lufkin for almost a year when I was a kid in the mid 1970’s. I liked it then, but I doubt that it even resembles that place anymore.

Personally I would rather live in either town than Longview.

Don't know anything about Lufkin, but I lived in Nacogdoches as an SFA student in the 1970's and it was quite nice back then, but very conservative. It remained so until about 15 years ago when my niece organized a Young Democrats chapter on campus there.

Not much wrong with either. I spend a lot of time in both, love the area. Hwy 21 is a great road.

Send your children to Hudson, Central or Huntington schools. Small schools, but quality education. Hudson does not have football but great basketball and baseball/softball programs. Live outside Lufkin. Good place to raise a family, but alot of retirees. Lots of fishing and hunting.

Stopped there and watched the movie "Solyant Green" (sp). Thats all I got. Popcorn back then was good.
