My experience is overall pretty good. There isn't much to do because of how small of a town it is. The only three things that are really not that great are the roads, dirt roads, and construction. The roads are very bumpy and sometimes have holes in them and it's terrible for lower cars. The dirt roads never get road construction on them so they always have potholes and it's worse after it rains. Now the only problem I have with construction is how long they take to fix the roads because the longer they take the longer it's a hassle and the longer they're in the way. I do understand it takes time, but one time they were redoing our square and it took a whole year. You may say that that's a lot of bad, well there's some good. The food is always good and the square at night is beautiful with Christmas lights on it.
Many people believe that living in a small town is a bad thing, but in reality it just makes everybody closer than what they expected. Center, Texas is a small town full of joy and laughter. The community in Center is always making activities for minorities during the weekend so that they will all be safe. In a small town they are very few places to go out and have fun and I am recommending that the city of Center should build more places with activities.
Although it is a very small town, Center has grown and is still growing till today. There is an antique Rio movie theater that is definitely a must go to. The little boutiques a must go also for women and little children. I highly recommend going to shop for a little girl or boy at Dazzle Me Pink and Blue. The portapool park a new park that was reconstruction not to long ago and it is now a place to play basketball and soccer. Center has historical events and places to go visit. In the fall we have the Poultry Festival which is a 3 day event and is a great place to enjoy the square and rides that will be there. In the summer we have another festival called Watermelon Festival but there isn't much rides but the food is great.
