“New residents flock to Midland in search of jobs in the area’s booming economy. In the past year, almost 20 new restaurants have opened or are planned to open in Midland and Odessa, with several national restaurant chains even venturing to call West Texas home. [..] About a year ago, talk began circulating in this West Texas town about a huge oil-producing formation called the Cline Shale, east of the traditional drilling areas around Midland. Then the oilmen and their rigs arrived. Now homes and hotels are sprouting, ‘help wanted’ signs have multiplied, and a major drilling company has cleared land to build an office and equipment yard.”
