That's out in WEST Texas, cowboy... if you go to South Texas expecting mountainous country, prepare to be disappointed.

And to the other poster, yes, that's where they filmed Giant.

I hope you mean southwest Texas, as in the region we are discussing. The Big Bend region.

I’d rather get the virus than go there. That place is the epitome of the middle of nowhere.



But it's where all the "cool" people hang out!

I knew some folks that had a house across the street from the court house that was used in the filming of Giant. Of course this was years before it became the hot spot for the famous to get away from it all.

I rarely go to Marfa, because Im not "cool" enough as a local. It is entertaining to watch the tourists walk around taking selfies and thinking they are realy something because they are in Marfa. "Look at me"
