    I loved this video, i lived their almost all my life and i still to this day love the slow life of Paris. I now live in Germany attending University, but miss it. Well i miss the quiet nights, not the crime it has now.

    Thank you. I was born and raised in Paris. I've lived in Arlington, TX; Austin, TX; and New York City. I always try to explain the appeal of Paris, Texas but you have done it. Again, thank you.

    Great video. We lived in Paris, TX 1969-1977. I loved the old buildings and photographed them for a project in an architecture class at ETSU. I am presently writing a history of our little town of Elba, AL where I grew up, and now live. maybe somebody will take this info and put together a short film such as yours. I'll pass this site on to the local history teachers. Congratulations!

    Great video. My dads family goes back to the beginnings of Paris and I lived the first few years of my life there. Summers I would stay with my grandparents in Cooper so I got to visit at times. I remember seeing “Dick Tracy” (the one with Madonna and Warren Beatty) at the Plaza theater as a kid.

    Thanks for making this video :-) I loved it. I grew up here & lived there until 3 years ago when I moved away to the OK panhandle...I miss my home town.

    Stopped off for lunch at The Hole in the Wall, and to see the tower, while passing through. Great job on the history here! Would like to spend more time here now.

    I'm going to Paris, France this coming Wednesday. Maybe one day I'll visit Paris, Texas, as I've heard it's such a nice place.

    HOW INTERESTING was that!
    This child did her homework.
    I'm not from Paris, but my great-grandparents were from
    Morris and Bowie counties, and some of their children
    moved into Paris and must have been there when the
    fire took place.
    Thanks for a well-documented and narrated presentation.
    A+

    This is a wonderful tribute to your home town, well done! It's kinda wonderful that Paris, France has cast this strange oblong shadow in the state of Texas, in which it completely disappears and is replaced by a place that is wholly American. Still, I do hope you spend some time in the French version of Paris. It is...incomparable.

    Paris, Texas just south of the Red River

  • @wrightpress
    @wrightpress 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    The Wrights did live mostly on the north side of the Red River, and the Clear Creek Settlement was the county seat of Miller County, Territory of Arkansas. Of course, that land was given to the Choctaw, and the white settlers thus moved south. The video does not mention the great Lamar County Museum, nor the great history of Camp Maxey and our industry. But, its a good core to improve on...better than most we've seen. Who did it?

    She didn't mention the Parsons family. They have owned land in chicota since the Spanish land grant.

    So much of what she shows of downtown is now empty...but some are being restored and in five years maybe we'll be back to the condition shown here.

  • @wfuller1907
    @wfuller1907 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Glad to see that you noted the brief shot of the old newspaper clipping about Paris having been formerly named Pinhook and that you offered the correction. That belief appears to have been a popular misconception because I heard it from several folks when I was growing up in Paris in the 1940s/50s/60s. In one of his books, perhaps "Look to the River," William A. Owens describes his boyhood in Pinhook, which was very obviously NOT Paris. I highly recommend all of Owens' books, by the way.

    Paris was never Pinhook. Pinhook was the Chisum ranch west of the 1000 Wright acres. Good video.

  • @wrightpress
    @wrightpress 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I [George Wright's gr gr grandson] have no evidence why Paris was named...it was not by Poteet. He arrived after we first see the name Paris on a document. More than likely the settlers had Greek myths read to them by their mothers...and the character Paris in Helen of Troy was used to name George Wright's store. Otherwise, she got the history right. See my books on Amazon.

    I was born in Paris and lived there off and on up until I was 24. It is by far the worst place I have ever been. It's trashy, poor, ugly, segregated, out dated, isolated, boring and much worse.
