Alas poor Hico, for I knew thee well ...

Last weekend, Hico had its annual "Texas Steak Cookoff and Tourist Trap" event. Yes that's a joke.

The preview in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram started with the line:

"Face it. Hico is hot."

Dang it. My favorite place on earth is becoming cool to the Texas crowd. Fredericksburg cutesiness can't be far behind.
