Midland and Odessa have always been at odds with each other for as long as I can remember. Some Midland folks refuse to have anything to do with Odessa and vice versa. I've heard it said from a few natives, (I was not raised in either city so I don't have a dog in this fight) "Midland is where you raise a family and Odessa is where you raise hell," so is that what these reviews from BestPlaces.net will show?

Eric was born here and got away as soon as he could and damn when he got away, he got as far away as he could, all the way to Chesapeake, VA. Eric also did not pay attention much in school because he cannot spell "caucasian" and "opportunities."

Frank is not happy and probably typed that so fast he didn't bother to use the shift key. He also feels safer with the gang members in Las Vegas and I am not sure what point he was trying to make in his P.S.

This one is by far my favorite, especially the part about garbage and litter growing out of the ground. This review was written in 2012 when it was still cheap to live in the area as you can tell by his saying "The cost of living is low" but the cost of apartments has started coming down at least.

Not sure if Kelso is male or female but I am assuming female since they claim Midland is not a good place for females and also because they were living with a female, or gay male, who had strange men wandering around the house at all hours. Kelso also got as far away as they could and relocated to the state of Washington.

Devin doesn't like the cost of living but is happy with the people here but still gave Midland only a two-star rating.
Judging from the reviews I found, no one is exceptionally happy living here but Midland seemed to get the better part of the reviews whereas Odessa's reviews had nothing nice in them, so it's up to you to decide which city got the worse reviews.

Texas Police Pull You Over For Many Reasons, But Not This One

Police in Texas are always watching people in case they believe someone is acting strangely, but can they pull you over for that?
