I didn’t live in Odessa, but I spent a few years in Midland before Covid, working for one of the "big 4" oil & gas service companies. Honestly, it would take an extremely lucrative salary for me to ever consider moving back. If you do decide to settle in Midland, I’d recommend living on the north side near the mall off the 250 loop. Everything you need is close by, like grocery stores, bars, restaurants, etc.

Yes, or invest in a water filter

the bad


Housing in Midland/Odessa is ridiculously overpriced, and the area can feel pretty monotonous after a while. There's not much variety, and it can start to feel a bit isolated, especially if you're used to more vibrant cities.

the good


The Rockhounds games are a lot of fun if you're into baseball. Catching a high school football game is a must, it really is a religion in those parts. Me and my ex (no pics) also really enjoyed the Jackalopes hockey games in Odessa.


Hope this helps :cheers:

They are called TFR’s and they are posted every day all over the US. Not at all unusual.


When a 10-day airspace restriction gets issued overnight, commercial flights start getting canceled, and even people at Fort Bliss weren’t aware of it beforehand, that’s at least worth paying attention to.
quote:

All flights to and from El Paso International Airport in Texas have been halted for “special security reasons,” the Federal Aviation Administration said early Wednesday. “No pilots may operate an aircraft in the areas covered by this NOTAM,” the FAA said, using the abbreviation for Notice to Airmen. It listed the reason as “temporary flight restrictions for Special Security Reasons.



quote:

The restriction for the airspace over El Paso and the neighboring community of Santa Teresa, New Mexico came in at 6:30 a.m. UTC, or coordinated universal time (11:30 p.m. ET). It will end at the same time on Feb. 21.


quote:

But the NOTAM said the airspace was classified as national defense airspace. Deadly force could be used on an aircraft if it is determined that it “poses and imminent security threat,” it said, adding that pilots “may be intercepted, detained and interviewed” by law enforcement and security personnel.

Given that something like this hasn’t occurred since 9/11 and the FAA announced it in the middle of the night, it’s a bit unsettling.
