The “Texas Miracle” loses some of its magic as Oracle announces it’s moving its new HQ out of Austin and Tesla lays off nearly 2,700 workers.

As a Texan, not sure what part of Texas you think is so ugly. There is a lot of beauty here.

Our politicians just suck.

Having lived there, Houston to College Station to Waco is 100% ugly. Really all of East Texas. I admit the hill country is pretty decent.

I moved to Seattle, though. Most Texans don't know what they're missing.

I've traveled the country full time in an RV for two years. Yes, there are more beautiful places in the US (Sequoia, Redwood Forests, Olympic National Park, etc), but I'm just saying that Texas isn't all just some drab hole-in-the-wall. If you want that, go to Ohio or Indiana.

Every state has some beauty. Ohio has Cuyahoga Valley and Indiana can see the Chicago skyline across Lake Michigan.

I love that you say every state has some beauty and then say that the best thing in Indiana is that you can see the next state over.

[–] aStonedSanta@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago

Not only that but you look over to see man made beauty not natural like we were talking about lmao

Indiana actually has some very nice state parks, and the Hoosier National Forest is quite pleasant as well

I loved the little dis, but for real the Great Lakes Region is one of the most beautiful parts of the country, I’d put it on par with our mountain ranges. Indiana only has a sliver of it, but northern Indiana is beautiful unlike the hellhole that is Fort Wayne. It’s like if a bunch of people decided to move to Lima for some unknown reason.

I’d put Turkey Run State Park near the top of the list for Indiana.
