I forgot, the now defunct and federally raided The Scooter Store. It seemingly employed half the town in a cult like manner.

My company got to move their uglier data-entry people to old Scooter Store facilities. Everybody wins!

I remember when they built their main office at 46/Walnut and 337. It was strange how they occupied so much space in town.

Gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson described my home town like this:

cruel, crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning laws and a culture of sex, money and violence. It's a shabby, sprawling metropolis ruled by brazen women, crooked cops and super-rich pansexual cowboys who live by the code of the West -- which can mean just about anything you need it to mean, in a pinch.

A J Foyt was also born and grew up there.

I also went back to my old High School. They asked me if I had a knife or a gun. I said no. They asked which one would I like.

A former Gonzales High School employee is under police investigation for allegedly sending inappropriate messages to at least one minor, a rising high school sophomore. As of Wednesday, Gonzales police have verified the existence of a video and pictures. They have also spoken with one alleged victim.


Keep it woke Gonzales.

This is why I went to school in Shiner.


I was in Honduras and missed this story... um, that's not good.

Because Gonzales is an under-performing district, my kids go to Seguin instead. Used to go to Shiner CS when younger.

And the average age of any school employee at GHS in the mid 90's was 45+.

How bad is Gonzales that Seguin is a better option? Or has Seguin greatly improved lately?

Gonzales ISD was given an F accountability rating by TEA for 2018. Even Luling got a "D".

Gonzales is not in a great place right now. Schools, public spending, lack of a future for kids with any other opportunity, rising cost of housing and real estate not keeping track with incomes, etc. The rest of small-town Texas outside of bedroom community commuting distance is going through various similar problems.

The best description ever is that it's a "Whiskey and Trombone town"

I'll admit I always thought it was amber as in the color(red alert, code blue, etc), but naming it after someone makes sense too.

it was an awful case. Girl was abducted from a parking lot while riding her bike. They found her dead in a creek several days later. She was stripped of clothes and her throat had been cut. By all accounts a totally random snatch and grab that's never been solved.
