Moving South......maybe Hondo?

[Old LB]

Taking a new position in the company in South Texas (Cotulla), been looking at possibly living in Hondo. Hondo looks to be a nice place, anybody out there know the pros and cons?

great football tradition.

Devine appears to be about 30 minutes closer to Cotulla (still an hour drive) and their football mascot is a Warhorse! I've always liked that name...lol.:)

Hondo has their own radio station 1460 AM http://www.kcwm.net/ which carries the Owl's sporting events

Not sure about Devine's 92.5 FM http://www.925thepatriot.com/main.html

Hondo is only about 73 miles from Cotulla. Of extra interest is that in the 1945 western movie San Antonio with Errol Flynn during the first part of the movie he catches the stagecoach in Laredo to go to San Antonio. Cotulla is about halfway and they reach there near dusk and spend the night there. That night Errol Flynn gets in a gunfight and shoots a man just outside a saloon. The next day they leave for San Antonio where they arrive later in the day.

Hondo is a Farming/Bedroom Community (being 45 minutes from downtown SA). My sister lives just west of Hondo in D'Hanis. I have always liked that area. Everyone that I know from Devine, Hondo or D'Hanis always wants to move back to that area.

Devine sounds simply devine. Hondo sounds like a western movie with John Wayne, or maybe a Marlon Brando western name. Devine could also refer to the fruit of the vine. So do you like wine better, or westerns??? Or do you watch westerns and drink wine at the same time?

[Old LB]

The main reason I liked Hondo is the 30 minute drive to San Antonio and the 30 minute drive to Lake Medina and still being an hour from work. Even if you wanted to live around Cotulla everything has a waiting list or is over-priced. We have several people who commute from San Antonio daily but I prefer a little slower pace.

Reagleeagle, I'm not much on westerns or wine unless they start making Coors flavored wine.

Well Goodluck in your decision...You will be WELCOMED in Owl town...Respect the "H"...:cool:

Aren't you gonna finish the story?

There's something about the word "Cotulla" that kinda makes me crazy.......not sure why though.......:kiss:

They get to San Antonio where they do some shopping on the riverwalk, catch a Spurs game and shoot a few more people....yada yada yada...:cool:

Pearsall is just 30 minutes (less actually) up IH-35 from Cotulla. Housing is also a little high right now also but there's a new subdivision in the works bringing 233 new homes. There's also Pleasanton or Jourdanton but with this oil traffic, I wouldn't travel these county roads too often (take Hwy 85 to Cotulla). The accidents and fatality's are mounting.

Well, I have two daughters but mom says they will stay and finish high school in Brownwood. Looks like her and I will relocate after that, just me and the ol'travel trailer til then. I am looking forward to the move though, Hondo does seem to be a nice place. Thanks for the information.
