At least not in Giddings. I saw this on our way back from Austin in this small Texas town on Hwy. 290. Texas has a slew of these small, beautiful and well kept little towns. I think it's the German work ethic and orderliness. Good to see a bit of tobacco history preserved.

It was a way to get a wall painted free. Farmers still let their barns in some areas be used for adverts.

I remember seeing barns painted with ads quite a bit when I was younger.

Here in the city, sometimes a building will be torn down, exposing a wall that has an ad on it.

That's why my barn encourages people lost on these backroads to go see Rock City. I assume they mean Detroit?

Hey, I'm right up the road from Durham, N.C., home of Bull Durham, and their minor league ball team The Durham Bulls. They have a handsome "new" ballpark, but have maintained the old one as a sort of park. I loved the old place, a time machine back into the 1920's; 'saw a game there before they moved, perfect.

I'd say that proves the point pretty well, Mr. Brad!

Heartily hope not. But I suspect it is becoming more so...

Texas will always have a certain style all its own, and endless local patriotism.

Down here in Texas the men are men, the women are women and the rest move out of state.

Most of the Texans I know are very politically correct. Of course what is correct depends on one's politics.

By today's mainstream press, Eric, absolutely not.
You all are a bunch of gun toting, flag waving, Bible carrying Neanderthals. Sort of like Kansas except a few hundred miles south.
If Texas secedes, again, I'll holler at the Okies and we'll be along shortly.
That stated, my boyhood in SW Missouri and SE Kansas is full of barns with Mail Pouch, Beech-Nut and Bull Durham signage.
Great picture!

Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Dallas/Ft. Worth are "Politically Correct" but then those areas tend to vote Democrat and are no longer really a part of mainstream Texas.
