Seguin is home to the world’s largest pecan
Here in Texas, we like to have the biggest of everything, whether it’s boots, burgers or bulls. So I wasn’t surprised to learn that we even claim the original world’s biggest pecan, proudly displayed on the lawn of the Guadalupe County Courthouse in Seguin, about 35 miles east of San Antonio. I decided it was a story (and a nut) I needed to crack for myself.

Chet sets sail on a re-created French sailboat

La Petite Belle, a half-sized, 30-foot-long recreation of the original, now sails the high seas of Texas, giving tourists a taste of maritime history and adventure. The jolly crew of museum volunteers seemed seaworthy as they called out commands across the deck and navigated our ship using 17th-century techniques.

“A good snake is a dead snake.” Hawkins and Parker hear that almost every day. “Completely false,” says Hawkins, who owns Big Country Snake Removal outside Abilene. “They play a big role in the ecosystem. They’re very important to a healthy ecosystem. And they all deserve life.”

There’s almost no better way to break up a road trip than popping into a strange, offbeat roadside attraction. But this famous destination on Interstate 35 north of San Antonio is the king cobra of them all. I don’t suffer from ophidiophobia (the fear of snakes), but even I was nervous stepping into a building full of the world’s most venomous vipers.

Like many young boys, I grew up pretending to be a medieval knight fighting dragons and rescuing damsels in distress. My castle was usually a cardboard box or a pile of couch cushions. Mike Newman had the same boyhood fantasies but was brave enough to turn them into a royal reality.

In most circles, asking someone if they prefer "The Munsters" or "The Addams Family" can make for fun dinner conversation. But in Waxahachie, there’s only one right answer. Because even though "The Munsters’" beloved sitcom wrapped in 1966, the family’s iconic mansion on 1313 Mockingbird Lane lives on in this growing town south of Dallas.

Katie Phillips is old enough to remember the dark ages-when nightfall at her family’s farm outside Coleman meant navigating by the shadowy illumination offered by carbide and coal-oil lamps and lanterns. When much of the work on her dad’s dairy farm-the milking, separating and bottling-happened before sunrise and without the benefit of electricity.

A group of workers near the East Texas town of Malakoff made an unusual discovery near the Trinity River in 1929.

As they looked at its smooth surface, the stone seemed to be looking back at them through two carved eyes. Was this a prehistoric sculpture? And how ...

Chet Visits the Leona General Store: The Best Little Steakhouse in Texas
มุมมอง 41K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
In my line of work, it’s normal to pass through a small town with ailing buildings and few visible signs of life. It isn’t normal for one of those old wooden storefronts to have a line 150 Texans long, stretching clear into the next parking lot. I pulled over to find out what was happening at the Leona General Store, and after someone told me it was steak night, I had no choice but to get in line.

    Old Brushy was a colorful wannabe. He claimed having been Billy, a Rough Rider etc. etc. His list of claims is long, but his timeline does not fit. Morrison claimed Brushy had all the same scars that Billy had. The catch: Noone ever knew what scars Billy had! It's never been mentioned - Not even once! Brushy could not read and write, but Billy could and Billy spoke Spanish as well. No photo of dead Billy? No, the nearest photographer was in Albuquerque and Las Vegas (NM) and those were 3-5 days away from Fort Sumner. Imagine arriving there and no photographer around since he was out? It would have taken at least one week to get a photographer to Sumner and that's the fastest. By the way: Many locals saw Billy's dead body. They sat wake, washed him and dressed him before putting him in a coffin made in Sumner. Even after all these years none of these people have ever said it was not Billy. They mourned him! Forget Brushy being Billy. He was a funny old weirdo whom Morrison tried to push to make a dollar out of!!!

      You shouldn't be. You've been convinced of a falsehood, that photos of dead outlaws were common. They weren't. They were common in towns that had photographers, which Fort Sumner didn't. Pat Garrett would have had to have sent someone 2 and a half days to Las Vegas, NM to get the nearest photographer and then wait another 2 and a half days for the photographer to arrive with his equipment. Or he would have had to have taken Billy's rotting corpse the 2 and a half day trip to Las Vegas. All that just wasn't necessary. The entire town of Fort Sumner saw the Kid's body and verified that Garrett had killed him

    Before I was rudely interrupted, I believe that Brushy Bill Roberts was BBR. Not the kid, I think that Garret killed the kid. But what I do have question with is, how the whole thing started. Garret left a capital punishment prisoner with deputies to find wood. I think the killing of the two deputies is on Garret. Also, I think if you can keep meat cool for a few days, you can keep a body cool. There could have been a photographer. If you take a town of about 200, there are artist, musicians, comedians in every crowd. I just think there were going to be na sayers and paperwork can be forged. Garret had put in a position that he had to tell the story right is my point.
