Does one need to be from Texas (or move to Texas) to be on here?

Oh, never mind, I see you let in a Gaelic Cajun guy.....then you'll probably let in anyone....

Best of luck with the site!

They let me in, so I think you might be correct!

LOL, you left out Mexican.

Welcome aboard and BTW, you need to be aware that I argue with my eldest sister and I love her to death. 😉

Urban Texas

Hey, not all of Texas is rural emptiness. Here is the theatre district of Ballinger in Runnels County where I spent a few days recently.

Urban Texas

I remember brick streets in my hometown when I was growing up. Over the years, they resurfaced them with asphalt, because the bricks become smooth over the years, and create slick traffic conditions when wet.

Today, I believe there may be 1-2 brick streets left, in the historic district

Brick Streets

Here's a shot I took of the barber shop in the same block as the theatre. The brick streets were a bit worn, but there is still plenty of tread on them. The interior of the barber shop was right out of a time warp. The front door had a bicentennial celebration sticker (as in 1976 US bicentennial) on the door which was the most modern-looking thing in sight.
