    Been to Abilene—had a bad time. Wouldn’t recommend it. Story seems pretty par for the course.

      My grandparents used to live there, because quote, “Lubbock is too big of a city”. Abilene was misery to visit.

        Holy shit. Most people I know who have lived in Lubbock left because “it’s too small of a city and everyone knows your business.”
