Kerrville used to be retirement destination number one when I was growing up for folks from the RGV.   Seemed like every business folk my parents knew after they sold their business or put in their notice after 30 years of service was moving to Kerrville or Fredericksburg.   This was back in the 80’s.  

The direction San Antonio is growing it might become more like  what Boerne was 20 years ago where folks who wanted to live away from the city but still wanted the small town feel end up.    Kind of like Dripping Springs in the Austin area where not too long ago it was out in the sticks.  Now the Austin metro area is clearing  a lot of those sticks and merging up with Dripping Springs.

I went to Manziel’s last ever high school game, Tivy was playing Lake Travis in San Antonio. Johnny was playing defense and returning kicks too. 
 

Thats all I know really.

Funny thing is the community barely recognized him with a tribute just in the last year or two.   They kind of shunned him when Manziel wanted Manziel and some other things came out about his move to Kerrville.

 Kerrville and that area are going through it right now and so maybe their politics keeps you from moving there, that's your bad, not theirs. Basing your whereabouts on your neighbor's political views is taxing and is unnecessary.  

I move around year to year, mostly small city's and big towns (how do we classify this?) El Paso,  New Braunsfels, Galveston, San Antonio,  Austin and am currently in Uvalde. Every place has been great and every place has their shit you deal with. 

Out of all of them, id say Uvalde has been my favorite,  and that as we know is my personal preference. 

I'd live in Kerrville,  Hunt, Kerr County in a drop of a hat. If the company I l work for  said we need you in Kerrville,  id say it better be for more than a year! 

Outside of the metro areas,  its all conservative and there's a reason for that. Im sure some are militant,  as you describe wanting to avoid, but 97% are not. Small town living is simple and there's plenty of space.

There’s a decent percentage of mean, rude, racist, nosy, cliquey people that I want to avoid too. Not just the militant ones. Add in the lack of activities and resources and I don’t think I could live in a small town again.

As I am writing this, it is raining again - already 3" in the rain gauge.  Hunt/Ingram responders/helpers evacuated, Walmart and HEB closed, everyone asked to stay home.

I understand the politics of this, but we ares till finding the dead and frankly, we don't have time to point fingers right now.  There are too many people with real needs, black, white, brown.  No one gives a damn, we are just trying to fill needs.  

When you see burly men out searching for the dead and they find a 6 month old baby that has been dead for several days and these men are broken and crying by what they have seen - that is what we care about now.  When you have single moms come to our warehouse and need diapers and wipes for their baby and ask to take 5-10 diapers because they know there are others that need - that is what we care about now.  By the way, we gave her several boxes of supplies - we have plenty.

I see a community that is caring for their own - thousands of people locally, nationally and other countries.  The crew at Mercy Chefs told us that they have never see a response like this to a disaster.  I thank God for all the help and for the ability to help my fellow west Kerr neighbors.  WKH
