Archer City, Tx

This is the Spur Hotel in Archer City, Texas north of Dallas. Larry McMurtry grew up there. The writer of Lonesome Dove fame and The Last Picture Show. I went there as sort of a pilgrimage. McMurtry owns a score of buildings there crammed with books. Barbara and I stayed at this hotel. We were the only ones staying there that night, so we sort of had responsibility for the place. We walked around town and through the various buildings where one could find books of all sizes, shapes and genres. It was a bibliophiles paradise. I believe I was working on my novel manuscript Fort Davis. Archer City is a small Texas town with a café or two and, of course, a Dairy Queen. The movie theater sits around the corner from the hotel but I believe it's only a landmark now.
