I've known for years that Abilene is a sweet spot in Texas. So much so that George Hamilton-IV wrote and sang a song about Abilene Texas, and yes George was singing about Abilene, Texas because on the same album the next song was titled West Texas Highway. That settled the video is included below, enjoy.

While I was looking for Hamilton's video I ran across this video about the "Top 10 Things To DO In Abilene" and it was put together by the Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau (ACVB). I began wondering, does the Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau have the same opinions as I and other Abilenians have about our Key City?

First, does the ACVB talk about the same comforts we Abilenians enjoy and/or take for granted from time to time? Like the fact that Abilene is a faith-built city. With over 170 different churches and over 30 different religions, breathtaking sunsets, delicious steaks, and barbecue, the awesome neighbors. Abilene is in my opinion Heaven on earth.

However, I will admit the Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau did an excellent job sharing the many different things there are to do in Abilene, as a matter of fact, the ACVB listed 21 different things to do on their website (in and around Abilene), and the different places to go to in Abilene.

I confess right here and now, some of these venues I have yet to go experience myself, what was I just saying earlier about "taking things for granted?"

Finally, the last video is from the City of Abilene and explains how the City of Abilene operates. So, "get ready to eat, stay, play and fully enjoy living in our great city." Nonetheless, there is always something fun and exciting to do in Abilene.
