Yeah that whole area was big in oil for awhile but it dried up pretty well awhile back, back in like 86 Midland/Odessa TX was the richest city per capita because of the oil and now they have become almost ghosts of their former selfs, all the rich oil exsecutives moved to Dallas and Houston and the Limos arent seen downtown anymore its kind of a desolate place, and im glad i finally moved away, but please dont let that be what you base your opinion of TX on west Texas, Austin is one of my favorite cities in the nation and i love the great state of TX...
