    My father trained there to be an engineer in WWII. They used to do stuff like serve all locals in the cafes before serving the servicemen, or made the srvicemen all sit in the balcony at the movies. They were treated like second-class citizens.

    A few years ago, my father found out that they opened a museum for the 12th Armored Division, and they wrote some garbage about how the the Abilineans...Abilinites...what the h*ll are they called?...welcomed the servicmen into their homes like family.

    Well, as long Abilene doesn't suck AND blow, it shouldn't be too bad.

    It's a ghost town. This girl I used to date had family there, so I was forced to visit a couple of times. We had to go into town to get food/supplies. Something just isn't right about that. We're talking a 45 minute drive to get food.
