Where Again Is Dickinson Texas?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with KGC Properties LLC, Tucson Property Management & Real Estate

When my husband reached "that 'Am I really that old?' age" - all I can say is - I was hoping he'd go for some cool convertible that we'd pick up in some great vacation spot.

It didn't happen - but that's OK.  Yesterday, he decided to go to Dickinson, Texas tomorrow to meet an old man named Clint, who starts his sentences with a good 'ole southern drawl that usually includes these words:    "We ain't got that ... ."

So today I have to help my husband find Dickinson! And a place to stay for the night.  And of course, a good place to eat!

So what does this have to do with real estate?  Not a whole lot.  Though Clint says the truck my husband wants can "pull yer house right off it's slab." 

Alright then!

But it does remind me that when working with clients moving to the City of Tucson - it's important to know about all the other smaller, surrounding towns such as:

Sahuarita, Arizona

Bisbee, Arizona

Tombstone, Arizona

Marana, Arizona

Cas Grande, Arizona

Huachuca City, Arizona

... because someone I meet will want to know where one of these towns are and how to get there.  And of course, where's the best place to eat and stay!

But first, I better work on find out more about Dickinson. Clint says, "Just fly 'em inta Houston and he'll figure it from there." 

Alrighty then!

Can't help you there, I'm in Austin. The small towns in this state are really great though, and folks in them are normally friendly as Clint is.

Is your husband going to Dickinson to buy a truck? I don't think those directional signs will help. :)

Don't forget Vail!  I still have to remind myself to clarify whether I'm talking about the AZ or Colorado version when telling stories LOL.

...or Tubac, Sonoita, Patagonia, Red Rock, Oracle, Catalina, Corona de Tucson... the list goes on, doesn't it?  Good point about knowing the towns in & around the metro, Gabrielle.

 

BTW - Dickinson is about 5 miles northwest of Texas City - thank God for Google!

Looks like everyone is chiming in with towns and directions.  The big question is:  Is your husband man enough to ask for directions if he gets lost?

GOOD MORNING MIKE!  Oro Valley - it's a great town -- but you better drive the speed limit! -- Gab

GOOD MORNING PAUL!  Yes - but he's got to fly there first! -- Gab

GOOD MORNING KENT!  Nice map - yep - Google is great!  It's also about 90 miles south of Houston so he'll have to fly there and then "figure it".  Good point about Vail -- and the other towns on the list -- it could go on around here!  - Gab

GOOD MORNING GABE!  That really is the question!  I'm on the ropes about it!  Good one! -- Gab
