What makes Round Rock TX special? A talk with Mayor McGraw

Mayor Alan McGraw talks about what makes Round Rock, Texas a special place. He explains the history of the actual "Round Rock," its important role on the cattle-driving Chisholm Trail, plus the tale of famous outlaw Sam Bass (including the downtown Round Rock shoot-out many years ago between Bass' Gang, the Texas Rangers and local lawmen.) At the very end, the Mayor reveals his own favorite spot in the city.

Thanks for watching - Game On!
