Good informational video.. This is a year old, so no dog park at Zoo anymore and the flights from Abilene to west coast are at least 3 times more than making the drive to Dallas to fly out..
Dyess is truly a unique AFB as it has 2 different missions , unlike any other USAF base that I know. Back in 83-85 when I was there, we were known mostly as a SAC Command ( 96th Bomb Wing with B 52's and KC 135 along with MAC Command 463rd Airlift Wing of C 130's ). And if I had remained in the USAF, more than likely, I would have returned to Abilene. Your tidbits are true when my newly married wife and I made our home there. It was a "culture shock " to us as we both lived near Santa Rosa, CA. and to be exposed to the " Blue Laws " !! I kinda miss those days and the small town feel. Thank you ladies for your insight and comments. I hope to visit Abilene this spring/summer of 2024.

I believe at one time Abilene held the world record for " Most churches per square block".
Abilene is all churches, restaurants, and car dealerships!
Good food there. Copper Creek, Lytle's Steakhouse, etc...
Thank you.
Healthcare?
Abilene has 2 hospitals operated by Hendrick Healthcare. There are also many urgent care and walk-in clinics scattered around the city.
Does Abilene have tornadoes ?
Abilene is on the edge of Tornado Alley, so we see a stray tornado occasionally, they are not extremely common though.

A merchant said "Comeback" so I turned around and asked what was wrong .

Shoreline Drive, Lytle Lake. The Tanglewood/Woodbridge area was real nice when I was growing up. Probably still is.
