Home is where you make it. ;)
The night life here in Waco TX is pretty limited. It's quiet most of the time and not much to do. With exception of Baylor University and TSTC students, you pretty much either own the town or work for someone that does. Very click-ish here. The good thing is I can be anywhere else in about an hour or so and find anything I want. A typical weekday for me (after work) would be hanging around with Tigger, running errands, eating out (best Mexican food choices anywhere) and keeping a low profile. If I wanted to shake a leg during the week there is opportunity for that too. The weekends are different. Band gigs are usually out of town. Major cities are 1 to 2 hours away. Shopping is the same, the opportunity for tourism is even better.
Riding gets even better. 15 minutes to the Waco MX track for during the week. There isn't much in the way of trails or woods riding but for after work there is some available. Choices for track riding is pretty good here. On the weekend I usually spend anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours getting to where I want to go. My choices besides Waco are Lake Whitney, Burleson, Village Creek, Mosier Valley, Cross Creek, VP Cycle Ranch and a half dozen more. I plan to hit the trails around Austin and the National Forest around Houston someday.
The cost of living in an area away from the metroplex is about half what it is there. It's worth my sanity to drive the distance to have the excitement I desire since the travel time is about the same.
