Description

Think you know Texas? Sure, there's the Alamo, the Cowboys, armadillos, Longhorns, Aggies, chili, the Space Center, and lots and lots of bluebonnets. But there's something else, weirdness. Visit the Munster Mansion, chat with the Big Thicket Wild Man, coast up Austin's Gravity Hill, and drive down Demon's Road.

There are a lot of interesting sights to see and folklore to read about. It is a kind of modern, Texas-specific "Ripley's Believe it or Not." My one complaint is that there is not an index of cities or counties. It would be nice to say "Hey, I'm visiting Jack County. I wonder if there is anything

weird to read about from there." and then be able to look it up easily.
