Marfa, TX (2690)

Marfa, TX (2690)
Marfa is a very small town (about 2,000 pop) in west Texas, but with exceptionally nice preservation of various structures and apparently an active arts community. The main explanation I could find for why it was much better preserved than other similar cities was because of its location between two relatively popular (during the winter) tourists areas -- Big Bend NP and Davis Mountains. Part of the film Giant (Warner Bros, 1956) was filmed in Marfa.

This is the county courthouse. (The colors really were that intense!)

Looks to be a nice town, and the proximity to the Davis Mountains would be good.

It's probably tarnished for her at this point because she went thru a messy divorce there--
10 years ago.
