Howdy there and welcome to Episode Two of One Stoplight to Success, New Homes. In this episode we learn what moving to College Station from a small town is like. Topics include Traffic, Construction, lack of space and finding a community. The Aggies talk about all the issues they ran into as they attempted to create a new home for themselves in College Station. I also have an incredibly insightful conversation with Katie Atkeisson about the differences between College Station, Dallas and her home town of Kerens.

One Stoplight to Success was inspired by my background growing up in Dallas, Texas. When I first came to A&M, three years ago, and saw how tiny it was by comparison, I went absolutely stir crazy. As insane as it may seem, I had never dreamed anyone could live in a town so small. It was like a cage to me compared with what I grew up with. Imagine my surprise when I then found out many of my fellow classmates told me College Station was akin to the big city for them. This changed my entire perspective and inspired me to learn as much as I could about these small town aggies. This inspired the idea for One Stoplight to Success. So come along as we talk about life outside the big city of College Station!
