Hi there! I’m Michael Wyatt, a born-and-raised Texan with a deep love for my home state.
After spending a decade and a half on the East Coast, I found myself drawn back to my roots in Corpus Christi. But Texas isn’t quite the same as I remember—it has changed in ways that surprise, amuse, and sometimes even baffle me.
That’s exactly why I started this blog: to share my impressions, observations, and experiences as I rediscover the Lone Star State.
The Story Behind DurangoTexas.com
Growing up in Texas, I thought I knew this place inside and out. But after returning from years away, I quickly realized that Texas is always evolving.
From its booming cities to its hidden small-town gems, from shifting cultural landscapes to unexpected quirks—there’s always something new to explore.
I created DurangoTexas.com as my personal space to document these changes, reflect on Texas life, and hopefully connect with others who share my fascination with this great state.
What Drives This Blog
At the heart of DurangoTexas.com is my love for storytelling and my curiosity about how Texas continues to grow and transform.
My goal is to provide honest, engaging, and sometimes humorous takes on everything from Texas culture and history to local events and everyday life here.
Whether you’re a fellow Texan, a former resident, or just someone with an interest in this one-of-a-kind state, I hope my writing offers a solid perspective. If you want to read more about how I do things around here, check my editorial policy.
A Bit About Me
I’ve always been passionate about writing, and this blog gives me the perfect outlet to share my thoughts.
My background is as varied as Texas itself—I’ve lived in big cities and small towns, experienced life on both coasts, and now find myself reconnecting with my home state in a way I never expected.
Through DurangoTexas.com, I invite you to see Texas through my eyes, one story at a time.
What’s Next for DurangoTexas.com?
Texas is vast, and there’s still so much to explore! I plan to keep sharing my observations, insights, and maybe even a few rants along the way.
Whether it’s an in-depth look at a changing city, a nostalgic trip down memory lane, or a fresh take on Texas traditions, I’ll keep writing as long as there’s something interesting to say—which, in Texas, is pretty much always.
