Texas is...well,actually nowhere on this list. We know the state is among the better as far as unemployment is concerned, and we know there's plenty of development, as evidenced by the oil and gas industry and the opening of Caterpillar here in Victoria.That's why it's a little surprising to see Texas did not make the best states list. Oh well, at least we didn't make the worst either. Here's the lowdown.
October 12, 2012 According to a recent poll from Experian, Our own city of Victoria finally gained a national ranking. No, not in extremely crappy driving, but in the purchasing....of sweatpants.
You've all seen them
Let me start out by saying that I am much happier living and working here in Victoria, Texas, but I actually lived and worked in this tiny town for 12 years, and my brothers and sisters would constantly ask me about it's unusual name. I would always respond with the story, which is explained below. The town wasn't much, although there was some beautiful scenery, and I did actually get to meet People's Court Bailiff Rusty Burrell. And that, my friends, is my brush with greatness.
It's a pretty big weekend for Victoria High School Football, as Victoria East and West face off against each other in the Victoria Showdown Friday night at Memorial Stadium.
Victoria West comes into the game with a 4-1 overall record, 1-0 in conference, while Victoria East is 1-5, and 0-2. Despite their records, we're talking about local bragging rights, so it ought to be a great game. If you need tickets, here's how to get them.
Zombies ate my neighbors, and now they're on their way to Cuero...but at least this time, it's for a good cause.
Bit seriously folks, this zombie invasion is actually the 5K Zombie Run/Walk 2012, a fundraiser for Relay For Life.
The Presidential election is coming up November 6th, and if you want to make sure your voice is heard, then you need to be registered to vote. Tuesday, October 9th is the last day to register so if you haven't yet, make sure that you do
It's one of those weekends with plenty of things to do. In Victoria, it's Bootfest today and tomorrow but if you want to get a little closer to the water, check out Seafair in Rockport.
Man, I love me some ZZ Top. From back in the day when they basically had 1 song getting national airplay, to the blues-infused depth of the tracks that never make it to the radio, this band is a Rock & Roll institution. They're out on the road right now, and we've got a look at a recent show in Ohio.
ZZ Top put on a fine little show in Akron, Ohio last night (Oct. 3). Call it human nature or American greed, but there's still a few complaints we'd like to register with the proper Texas authorities.
There's a slight change of plans for this weekend's Bootfest celebration in downtown Victoria-the fireworks show has been moved from Saturday night to Friday night.
We've all heard the cliche before, 'everything's bigger in Texas.' Well, this certainly does nothing to dispel the stereotype, as the worlds largest Frito Pie was unveiled at the Texas State Fair.
We take our high school football pretty seriously in the State of Texas, as evidenced by the activity on any Friday night during the season, and this year is no exception. There are a couple of good games set for this week, as Victoria West takes on Beeville, and Victoria East heads to Portland. If you need tickets, here's how to get them.
