In the otherwise nondescript Texas town of
Archer City, where
Larry McMurtry resides, there are two bookstores housing thousands of books. These have been collected over the years by
Larry McMurtry and even after
auctioning 300,000 volumns and closing two of the bookstores, there are still thousands to peruse. The stores do not have fancy names and are simply Bookstore 1 and Bookstore 2. The theater which was filmed for
Larry McMurtry's Last Picture Show still stands and the surrounding countryside was reminiscent of the Lonesome Dove series. While we were there we thought they may have been filming another movie as we saw convicts wearing prison garb of black and white horizontal stripes, but they were simply mowing the grass outside City Hall.
