TikTok Says Avoid These Texas Towns, But Do They Deserve It

When it comes to Texas, we have cities and towns of all shapes and sizes. Texas is home to everything from small farming communities to the giant metropolises. The charm of these cities is what makes our state great. With social media ingrained into our society these days, people tend to hop on and share their opinions without a care in the world. That is exactly what has happened with TikTok user @nbacasua1.

Which Texas Towns Made the TikTok ‘Avoid’ List

This user recently posted a video about the Texas towns you should avoid (it also includes New Mexico, but let's just focus on the Texas portion).

It seems @nbacasua1 lives or frequents the Texas Panhandle and parts of West Texas, and doesn't love this area. One of the best comments on this video is:

Who hurt you?

@nbacasua1 doesn't offer any explanations on why people should avoid these towns. They just leave that up to the imaginations of the viewers with one picture.

While some may come off as direct and rude, most Texans are not that way.

Why West Texas and Panhandle Towns Get a Bad Reputation

Most of the towns in the video are small towns, and when you grow up in a small town, it's almost as if you are in a fishbowl: everyone sees and knows everything. Most don't offer many amenities, except for a convenience store and Dairy Queen. Residents have to travel to bigger cities to shop, eat, and receive medical care.

Other cities, such as Amarillo and Lubbock, have their flaws, and people frequently point these out several times a day. Usually, the hate of the city comes from those who either don't live here or have moved away as fast as they could.

The Hidden Charm of Small-Town Texas

The great thing about these small towns and cities is that they are what make the Texas Panhandle and West Texas charming in their own way. Each of these towns mentioned has its quirks, along with the people who make it a great place to live.

It's funny to see how the comments clap back at the audacity of including their city in this video. The comments show the love for these small towns and then offer up the charm of each city.

@nbacasua1 is entitled to their opinion and just probably did this for views and interactions. Each of these cities has something special to offer, and that is the residents who live, work, and love these towns. Haters gonna hate, but those who love their hometowns will always feel the nostalgia of what makes them special.
