At 4: 17, you see the original doorway posts that are now painted white. Those are very old, they are made of iron, I believe. You can find them all over the U. S, in the 1800's they were marketed to builders out of foundries, along with wrought iron fencing. They helped reinforce the structure and they were designed to also mimic the look of carved wood. They date from the mid 1850's onward, and I believe they were manufactured either in Kansas or Ill. I want to say Kansas. They were an important technological achievement, because the era prior many town squares were comprised of simplistic construction such as log cabin design that did not last.

I live in Tyler. A few years ago, a downtown circa 1890 building was renovated. I snuck inside one evening after a door was left open. There were bricks, so many old, original unused bricks inside that had not been cemented into place. They were stamped Corsicana Cherry Reds. I looked up the history, apparently someone in Corsicana back then had discovered a natural red clay pit in the earth there that could be used to make these bricks. They were used all thru this area of Texas to build with and pave the roads. Perhaps that is what was used there at Wills Point to pave those roads then.

Happy belated Birthday, Audrey. You got your mama’s good looks. I’m sure you appreciate your daughter accompanying you as driving long distances can be quite boring. I’ve lived in Texas all my 73 years and have heard of, but never visited Wills Point. Nor have I ever visited Grand Saline. You said, I want to see the salt. You should have said, I wanna sea salt. You’d probably not be very popular there. Thanks for taking the time to share your video with us. Keep em coming, please. I’m sure I speak for many when I say, I’m loving em!

Between 1886 and 1959, a 6. 5 oz. bottle (cause real glass) was sold for 5 cents. It was a fixed price between those years. I can't help but comment that the reason that came to an end was due to the constant annual inflation of M2 money supply by the Monetarist policies of the Fed which began under Keynes in the 1930s. So the devaluation of the currency year-over-year caused price inflation, and among other things, the end of a Coke for 5 cents.

Deserted towns are the stuff lore is made of. Western towns especially. As a kid I dreamed of visiting old abandoned towns in the west to cop a bit of the history hiding there. So much so I moved to an abandoned town many years ago here in Texas. Going down the main road with empty stores, theaters, etc is nearly romantic, like tumble weed blowing in the dusty wind. If you don't like empty towns than go elsewhere or stay at home.

I moved from Dallas after being born and raised there all of my life up North and I am SO glad I moved. It's not for everyone. I use to go back every year to see my family and seen it go downhill fast. I hadn't been back in a few years until recently and there isn't anything I like about it anymore. It just seems so ghetto now, all of Dallas, it doesn't seem taken care of anymore.

Anywhere that calls itself The Gateway to Somewhere has nothing of interest. It’s like that with cities. Anywhere they build a big tower, like Toronto or Auckland, there’s nothing to see, except Paris of course. Glad to learn you make terrible horror flics. M cousin does the same. Check out West of Hell if you enjoy that sort of thing. He bartends these days

I love all those small towns near North Texas and East Texas. I haven't seen all of your videos yet. Have you been to Jefferson Texas I once stayed at The Jefferson Hotel. It's haunted and as an avid film lover, it would be nice to work with you if you ever make another short film. I live in Denton TX.

A very pleasant daughter. Not whiny but jolly and fun -- up to the high standards of a Japanese girl. She handles her sometimes 'condescendingly-clumsy-to-offspring' father well!

That is awesome your daughter would spend her 25th birthday on the road with you. I imagine these trips are more your hobby than hers. It's always fun to check out unique places.
