Texarkana, Texas and Arkansas

Today we braked for a WWI Veterans Memorial in Texarkana,
Texas. It listed all from Bowie County Texas killed in WWI
and the "Colored Men" were listed separately. The memorial
was built in 1936. Bowie County was named after Jim Bowie
who migrated here from Tennessee and fought at the Alamo
with Davie Crockett. There is a Jim Bowie knife on display
at the regional history museum.

Here is the WWI Memorial. I can't get it to stand straight.

I have one foot in Texas and one in Arkansas. Texarkana
is a regional hub for many judicial functions with the two
states sharing a courthouse and other facilities. If it weren't
for all the lawyers' offices in downtown there wouldn't be
much on main street. There are several clothing stores that
appear to cater to the lawyer crowd. One good place we found
was the Pecan Brewery and Restaurant. The only other customers
at 4:00p were lawyers, which was affirmed to me by the owner.
