I rehabbed a 250 unit apartment project in Waco years ago. Rebuilt it is probably more accurate. Anyway, I was forced to stay in the town during the week (Mon-Thurs nites).
My recollections are not good. There were no “nice” bar/restaurants/clubs to go to...............only hole in the wall, concrete floor, jukebox blaring, lowest of the low clientele type bars with gravel parking lots and chuck holes by the dozen. Twin Peaks would have been a MAJOR step up back then.
Alas, the facts are that Waco is not what you call a “fun” place to go to. No need to ever go there again unless I’m driving to Dallas which I try to limit to once a decade due to traffic.
Back in the early 90s, we’d occasionally (make that rarely) drive to Waco to Christmas shop at the mall or buy cheap tires. Other than that, it just wasn’t appealing, especially the creepy billboard on the highway advertising the muslim society. Yes, the brotherhood was alive and well as far back as that.
I went mountain biking in Waco once, and the trails sucked.
That’s my only experience with that place.
