Peggy felt compelled to drive into Texarkana (about 4 miles) to see a building. I eagerly hopped in beside her and down US-67 we went. Along the way, we passed by a car joint called Rusty Boltz Automotive and they appear to make unique cars there. We spotted one with an enormous 4-wheel drive system on the bottom and a compact sedan on top. Short fellows would be unable to reach the door handle.
In town, we soon found the Ace of Clubs House Museum which is the building Peggy originally had in her sights. It is a big impressive thing of indeterminate albeit strange design. Not two blocks away is the imposing Hotel Grim which looks it in every way. There are some very nice houses near the Grim but it looks like the ‘hood is getting a bit run down because many structures are vacant and near collapse. It is too bad. Some look like they were grand places back in the day.
We quickly chickened out and drove back to our RV park. Right after arriving we decided to check out the route out of here because we are departing tomorrow. We tried the shortcut on Google maps but right after we turned onto the one-lane road we noticed the potholes and low overhanging limbs so we will be using the Garmin’s map tomorrow. On the drive, we found a Texas State Historical Marker that, as far as we can tell, had the text composed by a person incapable of making sense. See pix.
