Once the Thanksgiving holiday weekend has passed, work crews with the Texas Department of Transportation will be doing repair work just north of Nacogdoches
The combination of brisket and pickles might take a little getting use to for some of us, but it usually isn't long before we realize it's pretty good. What about brisket and....a Ferris wheel? One Texas BBQ joint is gaining lots of attention for this strange combo.
Why anyone ever leaves our beloved state of Texas is a mystery to me. Maybe a job calls your name or you want to get far, far away from your ex. Whatever the reason, there are many things you're gonna miss when you're gone. Like the bathrooms at Buc-ee's, and dance halls that are older than your great grandmother. What else?
Not every town with a population of 2000 people becomes a big tourist destination, but one East Texas town is quickly becoming a top spot for visitors. I've heard so much about this place that I had to do a little more digging to find out more!
If you've dreamed of floating all night long on a lake like Sam Rayburn, this tent can help you do just that. You'll be camping and floating. Fun, right? Maybe we could even coin a new catchphrase and call it Flamping. What could possibly go wrong?
Texans can be big eaters, and sometimes that saves us money.
How about a little weekend challenge? If you can polish off a monster burger at one restaurant in Nacogdoches, the meal is free. And it's just one of the Texas restaurants on a long list that will give you the opportunity to eat your way to victory.
You know there's a lengthy tale behind every gravestone, and date markers like 1835-1893 just don't cut it. What in the world happened during that little dash?! Our state parks and wildlife folks are telling the stories, and one of those legends from a cemetery in Northeast Texas will make you glad you never crossed Frank Benson.
Don't you hate it when you love love love a restaurant and it becomes your go-to spot, but it doesn't last? It's worth high-fiving the East Texas restaurants that stand the test of time.
Many of them are Mom and Pop restaurants that are passed down through generations. Can you name some of them?
When Texas crews are building roads, you have to wonder what odd things they come across while they're moving dirt. The latest discovery was way more than earthworms and compacted beer cans. This was an ancient Indian artifact that some say had a tremendous value for the culture in 900 A.D.
Texas has been staying warm and hasn't quite made up its mind to get into fall just yet. But cooler weather is on the way, and fall foliage will peak in October. There are three short trails that will help you make the most of it.
Texas has several restaurant chains that are so popular here that they deserve to go national, and we'll name five of them. Feel free to add to the list...if you feel like sharing our secrets with the rest of the US, that is.
