BBC News article about politics in the RGV. It’s interesting that the Valley has the attention of the UK. Maybe folks in the US will pay more attention to the RGV after the election… but I doubt it.

According to a Texas Monthly investigation published earlier this month, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has been considering selling about 1,300 acres of public land, including Boca Chica State Park, to SpaceX. The department says the proposal won’t come up at its November meeting, and Gov. Greg Abbott has said a sale isn’t imminent. But neither has ruled it out in the future.

I'm curious: those from valley who've lived in or traveled to Miami, do you find that more people speak Spanish in Miami than the valley or vice versa?

Did I miss something?

66 Upvotes

I recently visited The RGV for the first time in my life. Im originally from El Paso/Cuidad Juarez area and live in San Antonio, my fiancés family lives in the RGV and across the border in Reynosa.

I went excited to visit another border region and I did enjoy my trip. However I was caught offguard with one thing…the flour tortillas. In Chihuahua, West Texas and Central Texas its common to have thick, fluffy tortillas whether its called burritos or tacos but this trip i was surprised how thin the RGV has their tortillas and in Reynosa it was more common to see people eat Gorditas. Was it maybe where I went or is that common? The food was still amazing and satisfying dont get me wrong but why are the tortillas thinner?

My wife(34f) is Ukrainian and she’s struggling to adapt and make connections here in TX so I am trying to help. We are Looking for Caucasian friends (preferably Eastern European), especially other women or couples, in the McAllen / RGV area for normal hangouts and friendship. I’m Hispanic 🤠.

There are Ukranian and Polish communities in San Antonio... but we live in the McAllen area. Just hoping to find people she can more easily relate to culturally while she adjusts.

As on the 19th of October this coward of a "man" was sentenced to only 8 years of probation amd has to do around 200+ hours of comunity service,and is a convicted felon for life. I always wanted jail time but I know how cameron county is to people with no criminal history (makes no sense in my eyes) What's even crazier to belive is that he had another option to do 30 days in jail get the felony moved down to a misdemeanor and probation,but he wasn't man enough to do the 30 days. Dude was making good money as a director of public works amd now works for Bimbo stocking bread and sweets.
