'Five Vibing Texas Towns ... That Aren't Austin'

State of Texas

Dr. Dale Funderburk, Northeast Texas economist, reflects on a recent Barron's article, "Five Vibing Texas Towns That Aren't Austin."  The towns are the Big-Bend-area town of Marfa, San Marcos, San Antonio, Corpus Christi and Fort Worth.  They're noted for their arts, culture and relatively favorable real-estate values.

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
