52. Uvalde has kind of "pockets" of areas.

You may have a poor area that backs right up to a richer neighborhood. The city has actually grown in the last decade or so. More business. A Walmart. A Starbucks, etc. So, they filled in vacant areas with housing where city utilities were already in place, and depending on the price, it’s either low or higher income.

It is known as the City of Trees. There are several streets that have gigantic oak trees in the middle of the road, the street having been constructed around the tree. So they were ahead of their time in saving trees! It is also known as the “Honey Capitol” as it was once known for producing Huajillo Honey. Just some “fun” facts.

There was a gun store directly across the street from where my dad lived that literally had a sign that said “Guns” on the top and “Liquor” on the bottom. Not sure if that’s still there or not.
