Great place to Live! User Rating 5 rating By tommy61157 ( Nov 26, 2023) Great rural texan place to raise a family away from all the drama of big cities while still having everything you need here! NextLink is rolling out Fiber Internet to the whole town, there's a Wal-Mart and a H-E-B. You're in commuting distance of Waco, Temple, Belton, and Killeen ...Read More !
