After raising eight children in Abilene, I've never questioned where I'd choose to build a family. A University of Texas at Tyler study ranked the city No. 3 in Texas, but I still believe it's No. 1.
Abilene is about to host one of the biggest law enforcement canine competitions in the country, and it's happening right here at a familiar local sports complex.
From a free two-mile walk in July to a Christmas ball in Snyder in December, West Texas Rehab is giving the region plenty of chances to show up for its neighbors.
Turns out you don't have to pack a bag or fill up the gas tank to feel like you actually got away for a bit — Abilene's got more going on than most people realize.
