I just found its history and geography interesting, a modern city seemingly sprung from a spring in the middle of a desert by Spanish colonials in the past century, that is now the “capital” of place that isn’t itself a formal country, contested by its neighbors, administered by one, and more or less ignored by the international community. And, oh, it has a McDonalds!? It seemed a bit intriguing to me, and fit a certain “absurdity” that I found reading Burrows and Camus (who set some of their novels in this quadrant of the world), and after watching Casablanca last week. It’s on a list of places I still would like to visit (if regional stability allows). I unfortunately can’t visit the true “Wild West” of US History, or a cantina at the edge of the galaxy, but they’d be on there too.
It looks like a Texas county courthouse; many of them look like this, they have a style about them, in the center of the town square. There's a gentleman in a cowboy hat in the foreground, too, and the statue suggests The South or Texas. Given that there are 254 counties, lots to choose from, omitting Dallas, Bexar, Harris, Lubbock, etc. Flat but not forested, Archer City, TX?
University is hard to find. First thought was Stephenville, home of Tarleton State, drove through it from SW Oklahoma to San Antonio... but... no Interstate. Also, not Wichita Falls (Midwestern State). That's 45 minutes from me.
