I've been thinking about this, but I don't want to offend anyone about their great town.  I would say take it with a grain of salt because it's all in jest.

Hereford, Texas

I only say this because I grew up here and I still come home on a regular basis.  Why would I include this on the list?  Well, one reason and one reason only, it smells like cow [poop], all the time.  It's even worse after it rains or the humidity is high.  "It's the smell of money."  Ugh, no, just no.  The smell is still ingrained in my DNA.

They are teeny tiny towns on the way to Hereford.  They don't really have anything.  No convenience stores and the only restaurant between the two of them closed down.  Is the liquor store even open anymore?  On a positive note, Umbarger has one of the best German Sausage Fests.

Conway, Tx

Three people live here?  That's it.  Three people.   I mean if you want isolation like that, then it's a perfect place.  Otherwise, it has to be very lonely.  Hey, at least it has the Bug Ranch.

It's a cute town, but doesn't all that soot from the carbon plants just seep into the air and then into your skin, hair, carpets, and clothes?  Something like a black cloud that always hovers.  It's probably like the smell in Hereford, it never leaves you.

Zita, Tx

No one knows about it.  It's like it might as well not exist, but it does and it's on the Loop.

White Deer, Texas

There's no white deer, just brown deer.  What's up with that.  At least in Hereford you actually see Hereford cows.

Sunray, Texas

There isn't a ray of sunshine in that place.

The alligator ranch closed.  Did you read that, the alligator ranch closed.

There you go, the worst cities to live in the Texas Panhandle.

Teeny Tiny Towns of the Texas Panhandle

Don't blink! You just might miss these TINY towns that are dotted around the Texas Panhandle.

Some of these are unincorporated communities and some of these are just plain ol' small!

Either way, these teensy weensy tiny towns and their populations will make you say "wow" (and maybe even squint and say "that's all!?"). Check them out:

Can You Guess These Towns From Their Satellite Photos?

I'm always down for a good brain challenge. This one however got the best of me.
It's always a fun time looking up address or cities and seeing them from a satellite point of view. You start pointing out landmarks and things you recognize.

One thing you don't account for however is something looking bigger or smaller than you seemed to think it was. So we started grabbing a bunch of these satellite pictures of cities and towns around Amarillo.

As we looked at them, we thought to ourselves, "how fun would this be to actually have to GUESS what these places are?". So away we went.

Go ahead and try to see how many you can guess correctly!
