Texarkana? |
Travel Info does anyone here live in or has been to or has heard of Texarkana, Arkanasas/Texas Travel Tips Heard of and been through. Others I have heard of it and went there when I was about 13 for a vacation (there is a lake resort not far from there). I don't remember it being anything special, very typical Texas/Arkansas. Conservative. A lot of oil money, good-old-boys. Yup. Texarkana is split between Texas and Arkansas. In fact, there's a street that's split between the two. I think it's State Line Avenue. One side is Arkansas, and the other is Texas. There's not a whole lot to do there, besides a mall and other shopping, a theater and restaurants. I think the city has a little museum that has information about its history. I've been to Texarkana, Texas and Texarkana, Arkansas; my grandfather lived on the Texas side. The town is divided down the center of one street with a painted line, and I recall being quite intrigued as a child that I could stand in two states at once. It also has the only post office in the U.S. that straddles a state line. Beyond that - it's a rather ordinary little Ark-La-Texas area town. http://www.txkusa.org/ yes grew up there, well until the age of eight.....both sides of the line too. |
