But for others, there is Marfa, Texas.

When you actually live here the best discription I have heard so far is “poverty with a view”.
Lovely place to visit when on vacation from your real world job.
If you move, expect $8.00 per hour job with no benifits and that’s if you are lucky.
Once you become a local, you find 20 something mindless pot smoking so called artists are irksome.
