The best part about Waco is it isn't far from Hillsboro (and a great outlet mall)!

Don't forget the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame, on I-35 south of the river.

They have a really nice park along the Brazos, but last time I was there the vagrants had taken it over. Such a shame.

I was born and raised Texas Baptist, then married a Catholic girl, sent my firstborn to Catholic school. It was a real shock to go to the grade-school Halloween Carnival and find a keg of (complimentary) beer for the adults!
I almost got converted then

I think these should go in this order:

which surprised you more, the Keg or the Halloween?

only advice i can give about Waco is... don't upset the ATF.

Good point.
Going to a church to celebrate a pagan holiday and drink beer.
What's a Baptist to do?

dance.

What I remember about Waco is that they have a "fine" and quite large Homeless population. Baylor kids even hold Sunday services under the bridge for them. (This was back when my oldest was a student.)

Well, Waco is the 26th largest city in Texas! And, with a population of over 113,000, there's bound to be a few "less fortunate."

All I know is that they make Snicker bars in Waco, and some of the friendliest and nicest people I ever met make Snickers bars (and some other fine candy).

any good shooting ranges around waco???????
