Umm, yeah. The article puts the blame on the corporate store owners and not the peeps. So yeah, Texas isn't to blame. Derp
Originally posted by Linked StoryMaria Soliz, Laredo Public Library director, is leading the charge to get a bookstore back. The city's library system was already planning to open two more branches over the next two years to meet demand. That's in addition to the two-story main library painted in bold, Mexican-inspired colors that serves about 400,000 visitors annually.
"It's not reflective of the city that they're closing," Soliz said. "I know this city can support a bookstore.""Fuck Rob. Also, he has a podcast called Podcaust. Edgy Holocaust humor lulz indeed." - The Faraci

And yet that town has a high illiteracy rate.
Nearly half of the population of Webb County, which includes Laredo, lacks basic literacy skills, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
Fewer than 1 in 5 city residents has a college degree. And about 30 percent of the city lives below the poverty level, according to the 2000 census."Looking like Nic Cage dressed in Kurt Cobain's closet. I mean that as a compliment" - BillyG

The population is also 94% Hispanic. Hence my Mexico comment. Laredo doesn't function as a normal major US city. Really and truly is a bordertown.We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.

It's just a weird place. It's own little world. Yes, there may be fucked up things about Texas *looks at East Texas in particular* but Laredo has had plenty of opportunity.We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.

And the town is in Texas, so yes, Texas is to blame. The same way we have a catchall for Florida, Minnesota and Ohio.
