Ah, yes, the most common stereotype of all things Texas. Being from Jersey myself, I thought the same thing.

Actually this part of Texas is NOT where you want to go to have a true Texas experience. "Generica" would be a more accurate stereotype for these here parts. Home Depot, Wal Mart, Target, Applebees & Best Buy every 2 miles...Starbucks every 30 feet. No cowboys or tumbleweeds that I've seen. An occasional cow here and there and the Fort Worth Stockyards, but that's about it.

And then there's Trader Vic's. Completely different than anything else in the state and people still walk in and say "Can you put the game on? I'll take a bud light."

May 3rd, Midnite!! I'll tell Lars to save a stool for you.

If you want the authentic part of Texas, you need to come out my way. And bring your craps we's gots rattlers down here.
