<p>Last time we were in Jefferson we stayed in the haunted hotel and of course we had “visitors” that night but the town is really neat and a good day trip if you have time.</p>
<p>Shreveport has alot of options if you want to drive, Casinos, the Riverfront and what is the new attraction that just opened? The boardwalk? I haven’t gone yet but everyone that has said it is nice.</p>
<p>
Agreed, but around here we can’t get any of the "…ex"es. :(</p>
<p>Thanks all! In particular thanks to newtoallthis (great screen name by the way). I love good tex-mex and, as you might expect, pickins are slim in Delaware! Trip is middle of next week.</p>
<p>You’re quite welcome! The weather looks good here next week - in the 70’s. You could ask around if there’s a good Tex-Mex restaurant in Gilmer - I’m not familiar with that town.</p>
<p>Lderochi, remember not to ask how the names of the towns are pronounced. </p>
<p>Reminds me of that story that happen to a “true” easterner -not a transplanted one- who was driving through Texas. She had heard of strange "prananziacions’ in Texas and, upon entering the town of Mexia, decided to stop at a local eatery. Before ordering, she thought about breaking the ice, and asked the young server, “How do you pronounce the name of this place, anyway?” The perky girl on the other side of the counter looked at her co-worker and, with the widest and whitest smile this side of the Missouri answered, ever so slowly. “Daaaaaaireeee Queeeeeen” </p>
<p>PS Remember that “Onced” and “twiced” are words and that “Y’all” is singular; “all o’ y’all” is plural. :)</p>
<p>reminds me of the stranger that was passing through the west Texas town of Dumas. I think you can figure out the pronunciation that got him in trouble.</p>
