Im sorry that was your experience.Welcome !
But why Palestine ?
When I last visited Palestine about 10 years ago it was pop. 20,000.
And had 22 lawyers, most kept busy with drug crimes.
I was there often between 1964 and 2012.
The handful of the senior doctors and lawyers pass around the major's job.
I drive past Davy Dogwood on the way to my friend Ralph's place, couldnt count the number of grass fires going up the hill to it that I have seen. I need to getup & see him this week.I had some great younger years in Palestine, but that was long before Walmart and the highway loop around town was completed. Which like everywhere else, killed the downtown businesses.
I've had the pleasure of dealing with 5 of the lawyers, 2 of the doctors, one judge, and the police chief. One of the lawyers is part-time, mostly he does seminars on how to hold your hand/fingers to achieve inner peace. Anyway, some real characters there !
The sheriff was first rate, went far beyond in helping me with some difficult issues with my relatives.
My mother became pregnant with me in Palestine, so it is an important place to me.
The must-do for you in the spring is Davy Dogwood Park.
Nope, but I have the official recipe!Frickin A. Ya didn't happen to bring any fry sauce with ya, did ya?
We have spent some serious time at Davy Dogwood! All year! Great park!I had some great younger years in Palestine, but that was long before Walmart and the highway loop around town was completed. Which like everywhere else, killed the downtown businesses.

Glad toHi all.
I am happy to have found what looks like a very well put together group of like minded firearms enthusiasts. Thank you.
My wife and I moved our family to Texas, from California in January of this year.
We both were born, grew up, made our mistakes (ex wife), met, were married, and spent the first half of our marriage in Northern Utah. California was an unfortunate stopover on our journey. We are grateful to be out and even more grateful to be in Texas.
I promise to vote conservative, to honor God Country Texas and Family, and to keep my powder dry and my guns clean and lubed.

Welcome!I had never heard of Palestine TX until we started seriously hunting for a new home. It is pronounced Palesteen. Rhymes with pristine. It is a beautiful town with a ton of rich history. We are lucky to be here.
It is a tight knit community that we will need to earn our place in, but we feel welcome and most folks are happy to have us. The California plates are not a welcome sight for most Texans. Frankly, I understand completely.
All that praise for 1833 had me set to go. So I ask Ez-e if he wants to meet my oldest best friend & I'll but lunch, if he drives. Come to find out 1833 don't open until 4:00 pm, which gets me driving in the dark. The headlights lense on the car need to be buffed out & can't see well with them.
We ended up at Pint & Barrel Pub. Hell I had a couple of beers & a patty melt. The patty melt was good even though it wasn't toasted. Ralph liked his burger & Ex-e said to many grilled onions on his prime rib poboy.
It might very well be the best place other then @ Ralph's cabin I have ate at in Palestine.
As tasty as it may be I would have my beard full of it. I think their Fish & Chips with a nut brown ale with room for pineapple cake.Next time you hit the Pint & Barrel try the chili burger. It’s open face and pretty darn tasty.
