I knew about the Blacked Peas but not the hamburger! Awsome!!..
That is why us Texans eat Blacked Peas on New Years for GOOD LUCK!!!
laugh

Did ya know that the HAMBURGER was invented in Athens, Texas?

Awwwwwwwwwwwww it is true ............... as well as the capital for Black-eyed peas..........


The hamburger had its beginning on Athens' interesting courthouse square in the l880s when Fletcher Davis, who owned a downtown cafe, invented the sandwich. The delicacy was so popular that in l904 a group of Athens businessmen raised enough money to send the inventor to the St. Louis World's Fair, where the hamburger was introduced to the world.

For many years, the growing, processing, canning and eating of black-eyed peas was a major part of life in Athens--so much so that Athens became the black-eyed pea capitol of the world, eventually spawning an annual jamboree each July.

Did ya'll know? At Acton, Tx Cemetary, Elizabeth Patton Crockett, second wife of Davy Crockett is burried. It's the smallest state park in Tx. 12 ft. x 21 ft.

Here is a link you can read about it and see the monument.


This is really close to me.
I saw this the last time I was in Texas. I thought my sister wes kidding when she told me it was a State Park.

She actually lives in Arlington but has a small house on the lake. It is my favorite place to be when I go down to visit her. Hopefully I will get there this summer.
