Texarkana

[kathyforviceprez]

When we were kids, my mother moved my sister and I here from Illinois back in 1978. I asked her, "You mean you're actually moving us to a town that dreads sundown?"

[jaredultimatum]

I'm from Lockesburg, AR. which is 40 miles north of Texarkana. I also went to college there too. This is a great town to go and hang out.

[TheJameslehr]

But its not the corners of four states.

[Creedster92]

Being a fellow Texarkana Texan lol I have to say..screw the post office! Why not mention TLC!! Easily the best burgers ever! But still, I appreciate the video.

[onfirecelt]

i want to move there, i went there memorail day weekend and had a great time, nice city!

[Baphometxii]

Aiwasz herr Crust............

[TheShoBaby]

Wow! Loved it! Born and Raised in Texarkana! Bryce's is still my favorite... but they didn't mention TLC Hamburgers and GQ Look! Shout out to George! :)

[robintoldyou23]

Texarkana is my father's hometown. I remember eating at Bryce's Cafeteria and watching this segment, I remember the photographs that my grandmother took- one each of my brother and I standing in front of the post office with one foot in Texas and one foot in Arkansas. I miss my grandparents - Harold and Oleta Eatman.

[cherryblossompunk]

[pooky78945]

i LOVE my hometown texarkana tx

[tkcitypride27]

yeah true its not big as new york or chicago but its my big city tk city texas big props to hannah storm for visiting you are welcome anytime

[MrMulishaJS]

What they don't show is how there are a bunch of people that don't want to work there. Mostly blacks, but alot of white trash too. Every decent neighborhood is being taken over by hoodlum's with gold teeth. Stop doing meth and get a job!!!! Then you wouldn't need those gold teeth.

[MrGrumpyOldMan]

what a crock of shit.

[xtix123]

I live in Texarkana to and no matter what, this will forever, and ever, be my main home state. Some say It sucks to be here, but I like it.

[allyu6]

@xtix123 Born and raise in Texarkana! Love it :)

[danceangel75503]

Live in texerkana and love it here some say it's boring but it's my hometown and I love it here

[motoandsk8]

humphrey...bahaha.nah texarkana is kickass!

[DarthMohammed]

Lived in Texarkana almost all my life. They neglected to tell you it's the most mediocre place in the world. ;)

[wrestlinggod090]

im born and raist in tk and im embarissed man they showin them all datwack stuff

[dwhorrocks]

I was born and finished school here but moved away years ago. My ancestors moved here in 1931, so we've seen many changes. I think it's finally becoming a great city. I moved back in 2002 and now own my childhood home in a great section of Highland Park. No other place I've been feels better.

[maryberry107]

that's right! you bet we consider it one city though it's in two states.

[ttowngman]

hey that was nice......im a texarkana treasure hunter etc.........

[ChaseL23]

Never knew they did this on Texarkana... Pretty cool though, I'd never thought they would be interested in this place

[allanmceneaney]

i'm moving there in 2 weeks ....my wife is from Texarkana

[ndeck83]

I was Born in Texarkana! Lived there for 22 years and I can't wait to get back there. Hopefully sometime this summer!

[Doodasquash]

My homwtown. Still live here (Texas side) Not mind-blowing, but home :D

[bluespiral58]

I came here hoping to find the R.E.M. song. Oh well, it was worth it to hear the profound statement that "it takes two halves of a city to make a whole city."

[1hotmama41]

This is my Dad's hometown (Arkansas side), and YES there are success stories from this town! Consider my Dad's brother, who is a retired police chief there, AND who appeared in the movie, "The Town That Dreaded Sundown", which was about a true story that happened there when they were small. Also, my Uncle Guy, who was originally from Texarkana, who was the owner of Guy's Orange Stand of Nash, featuring the big Texas hamburgers.

[whtrabbit34]

I'm from Texarkana and ate at Guy's often. I loved the orange drink along with the peanuts and those awesome burgers. My dad was also a successful business man there. I wish I would have stayed and built my life there.

[1hotmama41]

Thanks for sharing this. We always stopped in there when we were down for a visit. Uncle Guy actually had a twin brother. He is my Dad's mother's brother. And though he is gone now, the last I heard, his children were still running it, but I don't know now if it is still open or not. Don't know if you remember Hartshorn Tile Company, which was owned by my grandfather.

[therealflamelit]

Guys Burger is still kickin up great burgers...

[1hotmama41]

That is good to know. Haven't been there in so long. Last I heard, his son, Rusty is running it now. Sure would love to get back there one of these days, and get one of those burgers!

[cowboyblake9]

wooooooooooooooo TEXARKANA!!!

[rhymeswithblonde]

yeah, it is a little lame.

[LBODEAN]

home sweet home!!! texas side that is!!

[ramona7974]

ROFL! I am the person who started this by sending in the letter...and I don't live in Texarkana, AR anymore...we moved with the job. But, I loved living there, nice small town atmosphere with everything you really need. It is true...all the development is on the TX side.

[drumgirl67]

Texarkana is a black hole.

I got out as soon as I could, and I haven't been back since.

The two side thing is the only special thing, and it's not even that special since the Arkansas side has absolutely nothing now but liquor stores.

[beanpole5]

Yay! I visited this town today! Fun place, but I enjoyed Texas's half better (Texas > Arkansas)

[cmorrow132]

I rephrase. For IT there is absolutely no work. I actually pay less in rent in utilities here than I ever did in Texarkana with better living conditions.

[cmorrow132]

I moved out of Texarkana because it sucks - if you have skills other than stocking shelves, flipping burgers, or driving a forklift or a truck, there's no work. I'm currently in Dallas and have made more money in a year than I did in over 2 years in Texarkana.

[curlyperm1]

So true! And, housing is no more expensive in Dallas than Texarkana. Texarkana is full of crooks.

[kenaco2009]

I was born here :0)

...but I live in Dekalb

[bobblefest]

good real estate prices out there.... better than malibu...you can be bi-state which has a different meaning than out here , if you are in a state of 'bi'.....you guys got "shine" out there?

[victornewman06]

Great piece. My hometown!!!! Born and raised.

[silvergun6string]

cool! Me too!

[protegechris]

I hate living in this city.

For the record, all of the development is occurring on Texas side.
