This is Texas
We all have that one neighborhood bar. That one Dive. The one where you don’t have to ask for a drink because it’s on the bar top waiting for you before you even sit down. That’s where we are-at our personal favorites and new ones, across the entire state. We want to talk to real Texans. We elevate the voices that are often ignored by the mainstream media. The best way to understand the challenges facing Texas is to talk to the people who live here. Whether you’re a farmer in the Panhandle, a firefighter in Houston, a tire shop owner in the Hill Country or a teacher in a Border town, and everyone in between, this is real Texas and this is our platform. So meet us at your local Dive and let’s shoot the shit.
