This Is Wichita Falls 

I was here in 2003 and 2006 while going through technical training at Sheppard AFB. Not my favorite place, but I can appreciate the pride that the people who are from here have in their town.

I live here. My whole life always lived here and i can never leave. It's getting better.

I have visited twice , I do pray for this city , so much potential, the kindness of folks here well remembered hope to return , God bless Witchita Falls !

I was adopted from Wichita Falls in 1997 and ive never seen it before so thank you for showing me my home town !!!

my dad was a German pilot instructor for the T38 at the Sheppard Air Force Base end of the 70s. We lived in the Fountain Park Area in 2826 Barrywood Lane. And bevor going back to Germany in 81, I spend one year at the Notre Dame Elementary School. My teacher was Sister Agnes. The Principal was Sister Mary Ellen. 10th of April 1979 I experienced the massive tornado, coming from or to Lawton. I do not know anymore. The next day we drove through a devastaded city. I still have the special tornado issue of a local news paper somewhere. And God, just thinking about it and a whole other things while writing down these words brings tears to my eyes. The older I get, the more I miss the USA. I know, it is not the country I lived in today. And much is just past time imagination. But still, compared to the cramped Germany, the US ist wide and vast. And although I am German I consider myself half American. And one day...

Thank you for the video and the mini history lesson! :)

Wow, glad I found this video. I moved from WF in 1991 to North Carolina. It was great to see some of the sights there again. Too bad about so many things closing. I remember when the Sheridan hotel across from the new falls flooded. Thanks for the memories. I remember the Pioneer restaurants too. worked at several of them. Loved the chicken fried steaks.

I used to live there. I'm planning on going back.

Went there for training. Not much to do but it is a beautiful town. Going back to visit someday.

I'm proud to say that's my hometown. Back in 2008 my parents moved us down to a suburb of Houston. The area I live is really nice, but there's something Wichititty City has that League City can never obtain. Although there's a few things about Wichita I would never miss, the "city" and people are great. The vast majority of people in their 20's will regard Wichita as a plague they can't escape, but you won't find the same kind of people in or around the city, and you DEFINITELY won't find the same cost of living. I can't wait to needlessly speed down Wichita's oversized highways next time I drive up there. 😂 Y'all drive safe and have some respect for truckers even if you're speeding by.

I cant wait to get out of California.. Ive got my eye set on this place here. Nice quiet living .. Open spaces.. Fresh air.

Beautiful music…

Enjoyed this. Interesting.

I loved this place and they all loved me!!

Wow! I can't remember, if we visited all places around Wichita Falls. We left this city '81, a long time ago and I was young and I have no remembrance.

I miss this place! I’m homesick

i have been living here all my 58 years of life.......im not going anywhere i will die here........always thought of my hometown as the smallest biggest country town.......

I love this place, I was born and raised here. I am proud to say that I am a Wichitan my roots rum deep here.

your shot at 4:00-4:11 is amazing! great video. Thanks for the views as well as the facts!

Yup I live here all I have to say is watch were you live

Nice capture! Keep up the good work my friend! 👍👍

That was great Mike, love the stories through out the video.

Amazed how professionally shot this was done along with music selected. I’m a lifelong resident, as were both my parents. More things to like about this town than not. Roads are easily traveled year round, rare that the weather has us snowed in. Get to any part of the city from one end to the other in about 15 minutes, no traffic jams. Roughly 100,000 population is ideal for my tastes. Houses are more affordable here, but property taxes are brutal like in most parts of TX. Our constitution made a state income tax illegal, so they get us here. I think when our founding fathers named this state Texas, they got the vowels misplaced, think they meant Taxes. :-) Not a state many can afford to retire in on a fixed income and have a really nice home too, which is why quite a few retire elsewhere where the property tax doesn’t keep you in the poor house.

really enjoyed your vid, beautiful footage, you have a good eye. Moving there next month (Lord willing)!

I lived there in the early 90’s

The "Hotel at Wichita Falls" was the building's last iteration. It has been many things (a Radisson, a Holiday Inn), but it was originally built as a Sheraton Four Points hotel in, I believe, 1984. It predates the construction of the Falls and the dedication of the Falls in 1987. I was a Night Auditor at the Sheraton in 1992. It was a really beautiful hotel back then.

I love 💕 it

Beautiful views and experiences of my city.

Ive lived here my whole life, born 2003 As of late, Lake wichita is drying up as the main road into the lake has been severely damaged almost impossible to get into Also they forgot the Wichita falls High school wich is the longest lasting high school, lasting currently four generations Sadly this last 2 years of the schools life before that school mixes with the rival school Rider at a new building location Also the mall area (unseen in video) has been surving since the day of terrible Tuesday and is the most often going through store abandonment and routs have tons of tourests attractions Wichita falls is also home to being having the second most amount of Braums location in texas We also have a famous bridge with indian burial grounds (closed off from public since i was born so idk for how long) nicknamed Goat Mans Bridge often a place where people come looking for "ghost" we dont recommend it tho Please, if possible, do another video over this place as there is so much cultural and story throughout the town, we have so much from all the disasters that have happened in this area

my husband and i are thinking about moving here!!

Pat & Lyle have made Wichita a part of music history. I was expecting a huge falls like Victoria or Niagara Falls :) . Nonetheless, beautiful music was made from the roots of this town. R.I.P Lyle Mays.

Beautiful lush town.

I laugh when people visit a city and say that there is not much to do. I come from living in a town of 800 people and moved to a town of 10000. You want to know about not much to do try to live in one of those towns and see how bored you get. Especially up north people are not real friendly up here so be prepared to spend a lot of alone time.

Things have changed over the year’s

There's a shitton of modified trucks whenever i go to visit family here.

Awsome views proud to say this is my city😎😮😃😆

I'm going to MSU soon so I'd thought I'd do some research about Wichita Falls. Is it actually that good?

God Bless anyone who lives there still. 😩😳

I am from wf that poor town has been trying to "revamp" as long as I can remember, right now during this pandemic is the only time i wish I still lived there yall may escape it. Good video

Planning someday I will buy another at this place

Kinda looks like Derry Maine from it.

It’s a good town to live in if you have kids. It needs a ton of improvements on the housing side. A lot of homes are in need of repair. We need a bunch of fixer uppers kind of people to move here. We need teachers to teach others how to improve their homes. WF is no different than where u are currently living. Crime, drugs, low pay are big issues here as well.

Well done .. “ home “

They had that awful Tornado 🥲but it looks like a nice town

Wichita Falls deserves better than to just stagnate. Their population has not had any significant gains in the past ten years while Fort Worth, Lubbock, Amarillo, and Abilene have seen some of the greatest growth in their cities' histories during that same time. WF needs vision to make things happen. It's got too good of potential not to have new growth.

Now the water fall is dirty and brown

I would like to live there .

Ok I found my sleep video

RSP, what is the cost of living in Wichita Falls presently? We live north of Denton, but I am ready for trees and good dirt and snow. BUT don't want to leave Texas.

I always thought the Attebury “factory” (I thought it was a factory) was creepy...

Pure hellhole of a town, sadly. My hometown, lived there for practically all my life. There’s nothing interesting, nothing fun, and there’s nothing to really entertain people. Maybe a concert at a bar one night, IF YOUR LUCKY. The young people are into drugs, crime, etc. and the school system is absolutely terrible. they were right, you’ll never escape the place if you don’t take the chance to.

Im moving here!

So many things burned down what a shame

So sad the wild cats had to go my dad got free tickets from my grandpa and we went a lot so sad

Sadly the RR Museum is being closed :/

born here and wanna die here.. if any one wants to move into wichita falls you can contact www.moversfolder.com/movers/texas/wichita-falls

Ok so I go eat in downtown Wichita Falls every week and most of the time I see semi-trucks unloading something at the atteburry

I live there

Its a fact I live here

I live here

I know exactly where all that is

I was in the USAF and went to Sheppard AFB for 4 months in 05, its a training base. The co try and surrounding towns sucked. I baught a truck and drove all over. Absoluley nothing going on. The base has more to do than the whole city. Notice no traffic anywhere. Not until Friday and Saturday night when the taxi and bus services are packed with drunk Airmen going to and from the mall, Stagecaoch Bar, buffalo wild wings and the tattoo shops near base.

Absolutely nothing to do here ABSOLUTELY NOTHING😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 save us from boredom PLEASE

Ive lived here 50 yrs. It has been a boring city. Not much to do beyond theaters and walk an obsolete and ugly Sikes Center Mall. (Orange is the new yuck!) Former look ( and colors ) were much prettier. Miss the beautiful fountain and Merry-go-round, ( many customers loved ). Shamful the owners took those tourist attractions out. Now its just plain boring and offers nothing but small shops! An eatery court, but no "real" restaurant. The mall needs to be torn down and a high rise mall built. Sikes was built in mid 1970's. Its too old and worn looking. Sad. The waterfall has dirty brown water spewing down! Aweful. Many industries have left 40-50 yrs ago. Some new small ones have came in. Wages are always kept drove down. Big money cannot be made in Wichita Falls. ( Ive known this for 50 yrs ). Its always said: you make enough to exist, not even enough to leave. Lol. You have to "save up" for that. Lol
