Hot, Humid And Slow Paced Summers 2 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) Living in Borger, TX Was a very interesting experience for my family and I. To be honest, we got bored pretty fast. There are not many places to take your family as far as attractions and restaurants. This location is isolated from the major cities that offer the fast-paced city ...Read More life. If you're someone who enjoys a fast-paced life, I would not recommend it. There is not many room for growth in terms of jobs and careers here. There is a lot of unemployed people here.

The best places in Borger, TX was the Hutchinson County Historical Museum. This place was One of the only places that my family and I found interesting. We had very slim options living here for a short time. In addition, there are very minimal amounts of diverse and cultural restaurants that are available to you. The weather was very warm and humid. Some months in the Summer, it got so hot that it was unbearable for us. Read Less
