Mt. Enterprise, Texas!

I’m so close to the Louisiana border, I can taste the Étouffée. What can I say about lovely Mt. Enterprise? Well, 528 folks live here, including zero registered sex offenders. Way to go! The Vinson Brothers settled here in 1832, hoping there was iron in that there hill, Mount Enterprise. According to the Handbook of Texas Online, “Mount Enterprise Male and Female College was begun in 1851, and it lasted until 1855.” I guess you had to get in on the ground floor for a rare four-year degree!

See you next week with another handful of miles from treadmill and trail to lead my imagination toward the Atlantic!

Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:

I’m 30 years old, I love listening to music, I have a studio in my house and mess around once in a while, but to be in the music business just doesn’t make sense to me. It seems like a lifetime ago.
