Midland's a weird place. The two times I've been there, it's either been dry and very cold or dry and very hot. There's a lot of money there right now, with more jobs than people supposedly. I talked with some dudes that got their CDL after high school and started making 60 grand a year immediately driving trucks on oil fields. Not a bad gig for 19 or 20 year olds, but there's not much to spend money on out there either. The city Wiki led me to some pretty interesting revelations, for example, the one religious tv station in the city (jewish), or the creepy fates of the two dudes mainly credited with rescuing Baby Jessica (who apparently had a baby herself in the recent past, damn I feel old). The best places to eat there, I've found, are:
* Wall Street (on Wall Street) - Great steaks and fresh seafood.
* Luigi's - Decent italian with cheap drinks.
* Fabelas - Between Midland and Odessa. A lunch diner for all the workers in nearby facilities with great homemade mexican food, etc.
