Lol - that’s who I identify with in that movie! Wow! That is a small town. I was in Denison- not far from you. Yeah - I tried to take on a group once. They showed me. But I got them back. One by one and when least expected. Lake Texoma and Burns Run were my fav. But so was the River.

Yeah - main was the drag back then. So was whatever street the wagon wheel was on. I loved Main Street and the cobblestones. Used to go watch the trains too. I bet that place has changed a lot.

My dad retired from BNSF after taking a buyout from the southern Pacific Railroad. My uncles worked for the Katy and UP. I was raised in the depot in Sherman with my grandpa. Cream soda and bugles chips from the vending machine and picnic on the platform. 🤣

She’s awesome! Did you see the craziness where she was arrested for pot after she called the cops about a break in? I had just watched her perform at the WNBA all star game. Guess it happened then. I love her saying let me tell you who I am real quick. Too bad couldn’t say it to the cops

Awe yes!! The glorious river!! SO FUN!! I can recall sleeping in pickup bed. Mom insisted we sleep in the tent while mom & dad slept outside in the fresh air, under the willows. Dad became an auctioneer & finally came home w a popup camper. I thought we were rich!! SMDH!! 😂

I would have lived a real tent! Mine was a sheet tossed over tree branches but my dad wouldn’t let me sleep order it. But I loved the truck bed. Do you remember the old ice boxed where you had to put a block of ice in it? That’s what we had on the River bottom.

I remember those sewing machines! My GM had one of those ice boxes. I don’t know how it worked cuz she refused electricity until my mom made her get it. She still never turned a light on. At the River, there was a big, black bumpy snake under the box that chased my dad. It was funny. Not to my mom

Why did they make those changes? Main Street is what gave uptown (as my dad called it) it’s charm. I know Kress has prob been long gone.

Awwww - thanks for the sticker. Ditto! I left Dallas almost as soon I walked offstage from my hs graduation. Started college the next day. The class had a bon fire for students to burn stuff from hs like notes, etc. Not me. 2 bags of dresses, skirts, hose, and dang garter belt! Remember those?

Back in my day, they had a small carnival at Burns Run. Wonder if that place even exists anymore. Sonic. Girl - way after my time. They had a Wagon Wheel and thought we were big time when a McDonald’s came in saying how many burgers they sold. Then there was ashburns ice cream on main. I loved main
