I’m back at it after about a year hiatus, and my first visit was to Telephone Texas. Telephone is a small town northeast of Dallas and close to the Oklahoma border along the Red River.

The town was named by the local general store owner Pete Hindman. He his previous town names were rejected so he chose “Telephone” due to his store having the only telephone in the area.
