History

I think we can have some fun with this if we give it the Deep East Texas spin. So, I did just that.

Leading the charge this year is none other than Def Leppard.

Yes, it's true. There was, in fact, a Waffle House in Nacogdoches.

They're calling it "Blue Monday," and it's the most depressing day of the year. The good news is, the winter blahs are peaking and it can only get better from here.

It's National Museum Day on Saturday, September 22, and there are several museums nearby that will celebrate that with free admission. There's just one thing you have to do.

If you don't mind a drive, here are a few spots to check out over the weekend.

We're so used to hearing town names like Marfa and Waxahachie in Texas that they don't even sound weird anymore. Those are definitely real. What about Noodle and Sponge? Real Texas towns, or fake?

You know there's a lengthy tale behind every gravestone, and date markers like 1835-1893 just don't cut it. What in the world happened during that little dash?! Our state parks and wildlife folks are telling the stories, and one of those legends from a cemetery in Northeast Texas will make you glad you never crossed Frank Benson.

If this fish is caught today and posted on social media, it might go viral. But this monster was pulled out of a Texas lake so long ago no one seems to know about it. Til now!

These days we might look off to the side of I-20 and see cows and horses, but Texas wildlife managers say dinosaurs used to roam those same pastures. And some of them were huge!

When Texas crews are building roads, you have to wonder what odd things they come across while they're moving dirt. The latest discovery was way more than earthworms and compacted beer cans. This was an ancient Indian artifact that some say had a tremendous value for the culture in 900 A.D.
