Shopping

 • Miz's B's Books A Midland staple, this is the place Midlanders have been going for used books for over twenty years. As such it has a absolutely gargantuan amount of books and maintained by the ever charming 'Miz B' herself. This is literally one of the best stops in the Permian Basin for used books and is tucked away in a shopping center in the district of Midland known as "Old Midland". Highly recommended. Address/Phone : 2505 W Ohio Ave/(432) 682-5618

 • Graham Rexall Pharmacy Located only a block away from Miz B's and also in "Old Midland", this drugstore has also been serving Midlanders for a long time. It features a 50's era diner that serves out outstanding milkshakes & malts, and also provides normal fare sandwiches and lunch as well.

Midland is a city in Texas with a population nearing the 100,000 mark. Named among the 150 best U.S. cities in which to live for the past twelve years, its warm climate, friendly people, and central location are the primary reasons for the city's popularity.

Midland serves as administrative center for the petroleum producing region known as the Permian Basin, where about 20 percent of America's oil and gas reserves are located in reservoirs deep beneath the surface.

The area's low humidity, combined with warm days and cool nights, contributes to the year round comfort of Midlanders. Residents enjoy over 300 sunny days each year. The average heat index for Midland during the summer is lower than that in Dallas, San Antonio or Austin. During the winter, the climate is mild, similar to other desert climates in the southwest.

A combination of factors, including a low crime rate, ample water supplies, quality law enforcement & fire protection, and clean wide streets, results in a sense of security and a high quality of life.
