When I was 16, My twin (you knew him as TimC [RIP]) and I ran away to TX .... for a week. As we hitch hiked home, we came upon North Zulch, TX. NZ was already much declined when we were there.
Last Saturday, I re-visited the town.
I stopped at the only bar/restaurant in town to ask for info.
The only person eating in the place was Deborah. She is 66 and came to the town at 16, 3 years after we came through.
She remembers the wooden boardwalk, dirt street, and the café where Tim and I ate. But she said it was all gone. She pointed out the window and said, "Right there. It's all gone. Nothing left".
I drove to the spot and took a pic.
Up over the hood is THE STREET (looking north) and it is indeed ALL GONE. It is still dirt. On the right is where the café was. On the left of the street is where Tim and I bought cowboy hats.
I drove up that street and found a person on his porch.
Ed May (I took a close-up but can't find it) was 26 when we visited before. He remembers the café well and said Miss Evans owned it back then. He also related that the two story building we would have bought our hats at was owned by George Taylor. All the commercial buildings have been torn down and only the gas station remains.... across the railroad tracks.
Ok, Tim, we said we would return, so let's go....
