Did Victoria Make the List of the Best Small Towns in America?
Maybe not, but at least one Texas town did get an honorable mention. Okay, I can see by the criteria we may not have all the things that make what was among the best, but we do have a lot going for us, like low unemployment, growing industry, and other factors. Maybe it was the lack of wide bike lanes that did us in. Yeah, that's it. Check out the full story below.

9 Inches of Rain, but the Drought’s Not Over
It's been pretty wet in the Crossroads so far this year with official tallies showing as much as 9 inches in some areas on Wednesday. Honestly, I have no idea about the drought, it just seems like every year when we get some rain, the first thing you hear is "the drought's not over." Again, I'm no expert, but I'd say we are not in a drought at the moment.
Other rainfall reports said there was 9 inched in Jackson and DeWitt Counties, and Inez registering 7 inches. At Calhoun County Airport, officials listed right around 3 1/2 inches of rainfall. No significant problems were reported from the rainfall, but minor river flooding is expected.

This clip is from the recent Hubble Space Telescope movie. Sure, it may be a little taste from home, but it sure ain't Ventura's Tamales!

If You Think Victoria Traffic is Bad, It’s Not Even Close to the Worst
If you drive regularly around the Victoria area, you know we do have our share of traffic problems. From idiots who try to make turns out of the wrong lane, and inconsiderate drivers that seem to think they’re the only one on the road, to road construction, and more traffic than the road can handle, especially around Victoria Mall. If you’ve ever driven in a large city, you also know our problems are nothing compared to other cities. According to a new study, drivers in the 10 worst cities for traffic spend anywhere from 30 to 58 hours a year trapped in their cars going exactly nowhere.
