    Bonnie Elizabeth Parker (October 1, 1910 - May 23, 1934) and Clyde Chestnut Barrow (March 24, 1909 - May 23, 1934) were an American criminal couple who traveled the Central United States with their gang during the Great Depression, known for their bank robberies, although they preferred to rob small stores or rural funeral homes. Their exploits captured the attention of the American press and its readership during what is occasionally referred to as the "public enemy era" between 1931 and 1934. They are believed to have murdered at least nine police officers and four civilians. A photo of Parker posing with a cigar came from an undeveloped roll of film that police found at an abandoned hideout, and the snapshot was published nationwide. Parker did smoke cigarettes, although she never smoked cigars. According to historian Jeff Guinn, the photos found at the hideout resulted in Parker's glamorization and the creation of myths about the gang. The 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, directed by Arthur Penn and starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in the title roles, revived interest in the criminals and glamorized them with a romantic aura. The 2019 Netflix film The Highwaymen depicted the law's pursuit of Bonnie and Clyde.
    At approximately 9:15 am on May 23, the posse were still concealed in the bushes and almost ready to give up when they heard the Ford V8 Barrow was driving approaching at high speed. In their official report, they stated they had persuaded Ivy Methvin to position his truck along the shoulder of the road that morning. They hoped Barrow would stop to speak with him, putting his vehicle close to the posse's position in the bushes. When Barrow fell into the trap, the lawmen opened fire while the vehicle was still moving. Oakley fired first, probably before any order to do so. Barrow was killed instantly by Oakley's head shot, and Hinton reported hearing Parker scream. The officers fired about 130 rounds, emptying their weapons into the car. Many of Bonnie and Clyde's wounds would have been fatal, yet the two had survived several bullet wounds over the years in their confrontations with the law.

    This is very cool. Bonnie looked so sweet in those early photos. It's funny of the three choices you said were available during the Depression, there were two she did not choose to be part of, understandably. However, this same individual later became a murderer. Love or not, it's hard to figure... Thank you, Nick for tracking down these locations. I'm looking forward to the sequels.
    🏡🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻... 🪦

    Possum is a nocturnal critter. You see one out in broad daylight like that, give it a wide berth, because that's a good sign it might have rabies.

    I'm disappointed that so many of the buildings, such as the cafe you're at here, the Barrow Gas Station and one or two others, have been torn down or in severe disrepair, yet listed as an historical site. It would seem to me that as an historical site, the building would be restored and kept up. The cafe you're at here could be a working cafe/museum. It's sad that so many historical places have vanished as if "someone" wants it erased.

      It’s a shame for sure. Wish they were better taken care of too. Thanks for watching!

      I do agree but history is always put on the back burner for the sake of development and money. The state of Texas has more “important” allocations for tax money than to keep up with places that are pretty niche and otherwise not very touristic.

    They were odd in some ways. Some people they captured...they let go. I'd have read their history again...but it just seems as if they were misfits.
    What I cant believe is the trouble or grief they caused Texas lawmen. That was a bad idea. They certainly had some nerve. I mean...you just dont piss off the Texas law and I wouldn't wager on whether or not most criminals would survive after that. ..because they will track you with skill. They will set a trap.

      I couldn’t have said it better myself. That was a great explanation. Thanks for the great comment!

    Clyde got "got" a few times per what I heard, which explains to some degree why he became such a punk and wannabe. Ole bonnie - who can guess. She was apparently total trailer park material too. Either way, would be cool to see their Swiss cheesed carcasses. They got what was coming to them. Good riddance.
