Central texas/hill country vs East texas/piney woods (Dallas: shop, move)

[ETex2]

I've lived in Texas all of my life and have traveled pretty extensively. My daughter just moved from Lubbock, where she lived for 9 years. I was able to find beauty even in that flat and somewhat desolate part of the state. In fact, I haven't found anywhere in the state that I would consider "ugly".

I do prefer the hilly areas and heavily forested areas myself. But my grandmother who was raised in central and east Texas told me why she loved Texas so much once. She lived the later parts of her life in a small town in a fairly rural, flat area not covered in trees. She loved sunsets and couldn't imagine living anywhere that she couldn't see the glorious sunsets our state has to offer. Her favorite thing to do was to watch the sunsets, and afterward to see the lights from the next little town 10 or 15 miles away.

I haven't been to the Hill Country. I've gone through East Texas. Because I'm from the beautiful state of Alabama, I can appreciate East Texas hands down. I love the hills, the red dirt, and the tall pines that give the South beauty.

Central texas has shorter trees and alot more taller hills. Its still green especially now. Its not as southern as east texas but still has a southern feel. There is red clay in east central texas but the hills dont start until you get west of I35.

From pictures, Central Texas looks dry.

It really depends on what part of central texas you speak of some areas get more rain. Type in texas hill country for a better idea. You do realize texas a&m is in the sec and is not in east texas.

Not sure if you can see my pictures. But look up texas hill country on wiki and the first picture you see looks green like east Texas. Also if you look up geography of southern united states on wiki hill country texas is included.
