The Small Texas Town Being Saved By Bricks And Sausages
Texas has some amazing old towns that time has literally forgotten. Today I show you how bricks and sausages are saving this small Texas town that time forgot. Join me for a tour of this picturesque town of Elgin. Founded in 1872, this town has some of the most amazing old buildings I have seen anywhere in Texas. This is my last video from my month-long vacation to America. I couldn't have asked for a more nostalgic old Texas town to end this great trip. WIth over 65 historic buildings, and a world renowned sausage smokehouse, this town has is it all. From the quaint old brick buildings, cute 150 year old homes, to some of the most delicious sausage I have ever had. Let's walk, and drive, around while I tell you about some of the history of this town that time forgot.

    Looks like what Japan no longer wants, will feed some other smaller countries with their used goods. Or bc of the vintage craze now, Japan is cashing in on old used merchandise. The used vintage audio stores wrap most of their audio equipment in cellophane to not get them scratched. I wonder if these are just shoved into plastic containers without any protection?

In the 1800’s When the trains were coming thru to Austin from Houston there were a lot of train robberies in this area, the conductors would tell the passengers “hide your valuables we are going through “ell’ agin” , (hell again) hence the name ‘Elgin’.

    Not many 20 year old ladies in the US wanting to date a man over 30. Even at 26, one is an old man. Rents are high, mortgages are hard to get into, interest rates are high. Easy to get fired for no reason. No national medical care. These are facts, not emotional judgements. But the US has great natural scenery, superb infrastructure and super-slick and efficient services. Super-easy to get credit. A good country to have a passport from and to keep money in. But both Thailand and the US are nice if you have money, less money in Thailand, more money in the US. Either of these countries will be great and you will be walking around with a grin on your face. Thailand: you have to deal with the racial difference, having to learn a difficult language, and still people not speaking to you, stares, double pricing, less than efficient services, mockery, and a lot less common sense. But the food is great and the nightlife is good. Some beaches are nice. Nothing personal, but it sucks to be poor in either place.
