Nacogdoches

Graduated here about 10 years ago. Cool town with lots of potential. The problem: There is quite a large amount of old money here, i.e. only a couple old fart families run the town, and oppose any type of change. Consideration to keeping the town historic while bringing in some new things. Namely: Bars!!! There are very few if any in this town. I believe the place to go was known as “Crossroads”. That’s all I ever heard stories about, but that was before my time. We need some of these people to die off so it can become a wet county again. Bring some cool bars and restaurants and make it like most other college towns. Enrollment will skyrocket and so will money flowing into the community. Unitl then, it’s going to just suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but luckily my parents divorced and I was not raised in tiny town east Texas somewhere between here and nowhere.

I hope to get to Nacogdoches for my friend’s wedding

in a few months! Looking forward to it!

i haven’t been back in a while.when i was growing up we had a tight knit community everyone knew everyone and looked out for one another.

The town seems like it is on the down slope. The University (SFASU) is investing in additional parking lots, facilities, dorms and the like – but the town is crumbling around it. Lots of closed restaurants. It is very dirty. It used to be so charming. Easily turned around… http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/nacogdoches/
