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.
