My grandfather owned 50'acres in Charco. We would dove hunt there when we were ever young. He sold it without asking my Dad if he wanted to buy it. My Dad was not happy.

I'll throw out Linn, Tx. Hunted near there for many years and home of the best chorizo in the state - Chorizo de San Manuel
What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.

Sprayberry, Texas

They had a great bbq spot! Used to eat there on the way to the deer lease!

Long gone I'm sad to say.

I grew up in Midland. That place has been gone for like 25-30 years. Either that or it just always looked closed and empty.


Yea I think it closed around 2000. After that it was either eat something in Midland or wait until you get to the lease (or a fried pie in sterling City)


Halfmann's in Garden City had food that was pretty good (just expensive).

When my native Eastland County was dry, my dad would drive to Mingus and to the small house of an elderly Mexican couple who would sell beer (Falstaff) to thirsty folks). We had to walk back to their chicken coop where the man would extract a six pack from the straw.

Strawn...best chicken fried steak at Mary's...

I served as Mayor of the City of Hays for 6 years.


I am old enough to remember when it was just a subdivision called Country Estates. My uncle bought one of the first homes in Leisure Woods before there was a neighborhood swimming pool. The City Limit sign in Buda said 492


I think one of my former schoolmates may have also been Mayor of Hays at one time.

I've only been here about 20 years.

The first Mayor of the City of Hays just passed away a couple of years ago. There is now a new Elementary School in Kyle named after him: Ramage Elementary School.


Lamont Ramage was on the HCISD school board when I was a student. I went to school with his son Monty

Mo Johnson, namesake of the newest HCISD high school, was our superintendent. My dad was farming buddies with Ted Lehman whose name is on the Kyle high school. He was also a school board member at one time.

Mo, as in the guy from the Mo's Better Half Marathon, and the guy who used to write running articles for the San Marcos (Almost) Daily Record?

I had a buddy from Venus, TX. He was close enough to the Midlothian side of town that he was able to go to school with us.

East Bernard.

The town is a bit of a dump, but Vincek's smokehouse has great daily lunch specials and their meat counter has some lovely selections. The stuffed pork chop is great on the grill.

Praseks isn't too far away in Hilje, but Vinceks is less crowded and easier on the wallet.
Aunt uncle live there

Oglesby, TX in Coryell County (Pop. 445).

Best known for their rattlesnake roundup each year. A little odd when I found out ex-wife was related to everyone in town....
