My move from San Diego, CA to Marlin, TX is almost complete. For the moment I am living with my brother but we've already got a new apartment, new phone, internet service established, etc. I should be fully moved in to my new place by this Tuesday and 100% back on the Internet soon thereafter. I've checked into the VA and they are going to be helping me with my acromegaly condition and possibly a financial claim.
Marlin is very small (pop. 6,628) and seems to be a town that is in its death throes. People selling houses and moving to nearby Waco. For buyers who can afford to wait for the housing market to recover this is the perfect spot to flip houses. Many older homes are going for prices under $10,000.00! You can flip the house for low cost but the problem is selling it in a declining market. However, there are buyers who live in Marlin because of the lower prices and commute to Waco where there are jobs. A lot of retirees and welfare cases also live here. As is common to smaller towns there also seems to be a strange racial divide between the whites and blacks this is absent in larger cities. Absolutely disgusting but it does create some drama and that is like gold for people like myself who see ample screenwriting possibilities arising. There is more than oil in Texas, there are stories! Could be the next There will be Blood is right here in Marlin.
