Livingston, TX in general, Lake Livingston Village in particular.  About an hour or two from Houston I hear.  Anyone know anything about the place?

Good place,bad place, country, cosmopolitan, state headquarters for the kkk?  Any info would be appreciated.

Although I am in Dallas, the only thing I know about Livingston is there is a huge prison there. 

This may help you more ... http://www.cityoflivingston-tx.com/

Thanks.  Didn't know about the prison.  That may explain the low price of land.

I love Lake Livingston it is beautiful. I don't think I ever stayed at Lake Livingston Village.  It is a country town. The population is barely over 5000 or so.  No, it's not the state hq for the kkk.  The best place to eat there is called Florida's Kitchen on a Friday night the catfish and the buffet is awesome.If you'd like you can hit me up on the BL and I can give you more info. 

ETA:  I don't know if the big prison is in Livingston.  I always thought it was in Huntsville. Trade days are fun too. It is usually the weeknd before the third Monday of every month.

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown

Did you say catfish?

I will hit you on the bl so you can explain trade days to me.  Sounds like catfish and may be some shopping?  I like.

Well I'll be dayum, I never knew this. The really big one is right up the road about 30-40 miles in Huntsville.  I can practically drive to Livingston with my eyes closed.  Up until about three months ago, I used to go to Livingston at least twice a month.  I never encountered any problems and where the prison is located, it is off the main drag of Highway 190 and Highway 59.

Livingston is about 30 minutes north of my house.  I didn't know there was a prison their either.  Go figure.  It must be deep in Livingston.  One of my former employees live there.  Its a country town, lots of distance between people.  Not at all cosmopolitan, but I know some nice people who live out that way.  Very rural.  Note: I don't know any African Americans who live there however, although I saw some when I met Faith at Florida's.  The food there is really GREAT!!!!!!!!
     
Working on me - want to be better in everyway not just physically!!!  Its a process no time to judge or be judged!!!!
