Texas - Texarkana

Texarkana



I don't know what building this is, because I never approached it closer, but it's on the southeast corner of 7th and Olive Streets.


The Ace of Clubs House, so named because it was built in the shape of a club after winning a poker game, at Pine and 5th Streets. One would guess the win came on that particular card.


The First Baptist Church is across from and just a bit south of the Ace of Clubs House.


Hotel Grim, which hopefully does not live up to its name, is on the east side of Pine St. at 3rd St.


Heading west on 4th St. to Texas Blvd., the Regional Arts Center was once the Federal courthouse before the Texas and Arkansas sides came together in the state line building (see second link at bottom).


The municipal offices are on the southeast corner of 3rd St. and Texas Blvd.


A faraway view of the same from the southeast (Main and Broad Streets).


Continuing west on 3rd St. to Oak St. I wonder if this was once a segregated club - it seems old enough, and it's in the South.


Back east on 3rd Street on the way to Main St.


On the southwest corner of 3rd and Main. The creepy laughing dude wants to eat you. Remember that when you visit.


Continuing south along the west side of Main Street from Saenger Theatre. I can't really read what was once down that alleyway - any sort of angle that avoids the theater overhang is too shallow for legibility - but there are definitely Drugs involved.


The east side of Main St. to the corner of Broad St.


Scenes from the south side of Broad Street west of Main. The one advertisement is clearly Jim's Hardware, but the closer one was painted over something else, so I can't make it out even at close resolution (except an apostrophe and "s"). Can you?


Loans no longer, Broad St. at Texas Blvd.


Down to the bottom of downtown, on the northeast corner of Main and Front Streets just west of the Arkansas border. It would seem that this was an apartment building until not too long ago. Maybe someone still lives inside? If so, they should avoid the roof level. The last photo looks west from Arkansas; note that Front St. is still paved in brick. The whole Union Station area is isolated and fairly dead (as is the station - see the big link below), so it's no surprise that it has never been modernized.
