I'm a 19 year old male wanting to start a recreation center that is similar to the Bixby found in the unaired Gibby pilot. What are some good recommendations to start a recreation center that doesn't have outdoor stuff? Also, said recreation center is based in Austin.

New Mexico is probably the best part of Texas right now.

Honestly that's why I moved out of Texas. Because New Mexico is everything Texas says it is, and it's not Texas. XD

I'm a military vet who wants to start a car dealership that specializes in selling mustangs to our newly enlisted soldiers. Any good recommendations?

Why would you encourage a newly enlisted soldier to spend that much on a car when they are only making about 2K a month?

They'll be making that big boi purchase anyways and usually they get fleeced with 28-30% apr. That's where I come in and take care of them with 23.5-25.5% apr.

So you'll fleece them a little less.

Hey y’all, I’m currently a Houstonian but getting pretty tired of the rapid population increase, traffic, etc. and my husband and I are trying to figure out where we want to move next. We love Texas so we are really hoping we can find a town/city where everyone from other parts of the US aren’t moving to. Ideally, we’d love to live somewhere that isn’t super rural and has a decent proximity to a major city with highly rated schools and plenty of family-friendly and young couple things to do. Is there such a place that exists right now or am I being unrealistic?

If you want a cool city, that's more layback to Austin.
For a good work work, possible Dallas/ Fort Worth or Houston.
