What Is Your Favorite Texas Landmark? (Houston, Dallas: homes, to live, law)

[case44]

Hi, folks. Come hither for just a few moments, because I'd like to throw this ball around. I'd like to see what your favorite Texas landmark is. It could be where you live or a place you like to visit outside your city/town. It could be well-known or unknown. Maybe in this thread, we might reveal a few surprises. You never know. I'll get us started, as I have several favorites, so I'll name one. My favorite is the Sam Houston statue in Huntsville.

So, without further adieu, it's your turn to chime in on Texas landmarks --- so what's your favorite? Ready, set, let 'er rip!

I like the Sam Houston statue, too! Also the Alamo, the Riverwalk, East Texas pines, confederate generals memorial in downtown Dallas, the rolling hills and trees of north Arlington (not exactly a landmark, I know!), Dallas skyline, downtown Fort Worth, Tyler roses, etc., etc.

Another one of my favorites is McDonald Observatory near Fort Davis.

Mine was the "Leaving Texas" sign at the New Mexico boarder.

I live about 1 1/2 hr. from Palo Duro Canyon, our "little Grand Canyon" here in the Panhandle. Is really beautiful, especially this time of year, and planning a trip back this weekend.

Thanks, sberdrow, for that reminder. Whenever I venture out of Texas and on my way back, I always have a little tear when I see the stone Texas monuments at the border. Usually will get out and take just one more pic of it!! I love NM, too, but not enough to live there.
