Midland, Texas has always been a stop on the way to somewhere else. It was originally a train station -- "Midway Station" -- and a pit stop on the Texas and Pacific Railway between El Paso and Fort Worth. In the 1920's, oil was discovered and an industry was born. Pumpjacks line the roads near city limits, and it's fair to say it's a place where work is done, money is made, and not much else. It will never be mistaken for a desert oasis.
