This Is Now The Worst Town To Live In Texas

I have only visited this Texas town once in my entire life, and it was quite literally entirely by accident one fall day in 2009.

When I was last in Big Spring 15 years ago, this was a 7-Eleven. All told, I was only in town for about 4 hours from the time my car died until leaving, so I only walked around a little bit and had a cheeseburger.

According to this Wallet Hub article, Big Spring is the worst town to live in Texas because of it ranks very poorly in education and health, quality of life, and safety. I say, even the worst place to live in Texas is still Texas, and you can bet your bottom dollar that easily beats a lot of towns, cities, and states across the country.
