Yep, lots of wild names in Texas, I always get a kick out of the place between Dallas and Ft Worth it's just "Plano" Texas. Here's a tidbit about the states namesake
ReplyDeleteTexas City TX
Texas City has often referred to itself as "the town that would not die,". in April, 1947, two ships in the Deep Water Port, containing ammonium nitrate fertilizer exploded in what is generally regarded as the worst industrial accident in U.S. history and other than The Nuclear tests in New Mexico and Nevada the Largest Explosion on U. S. soil. The disaster killed 581 and injured over 5000 people. The explosions were so powerful and intense that many of the bodies of the emergency workers who responded to the initial explosion were never accounted for. School children and townspeople who were attracted to the smoke also died and entire blocks of homes near the port were destroyed. People in Galveston 14 miles away were knocked to their knees. Surrounding chemical and oil tanks and refineries were ignited by the blast. At least 63 who died and were not able to be identified are memorialized in a cemetery in the north part of town. The Texas City disaster is widely regarded as the foundation of disaster planning for the United States.
Willie Nelson used to live in Muleshoe... I had a friend, cousin to Charlie Pride, who used to visit Willie there for informal jam sessions in his earlier years. I loved the stories he told about the country singers who would drop in for the weekend - including that coal miner's daughter, Loretta Lynn.
