I'm a Centerville local. Wish you had included the filming you did at Country Cousins, a very cool place also! Maybe, you can include it in a BBQ episode and dedicated to Rusty Teston memory. Another cool area is Groesbeck, Texas. Fort Parker State Park and The Confederate Veteran Cemetery/ Reunion Grounds.
I grew up in Leona and the names you see on the wall of the Leona General Store made me smile. Curtis Easterling is such a wonderful man. Louis Miller was my "Uncle Louis". When my great grandfather passed in 1996, he was always there for me and my great grandmother. I would go to his house often in Leona since it was right down the road on 977 from me. When he passed it honestly broke my heart and I cried more for him than my great grandfather. He was the owner of Miller Supply which was a hardwore store that my great grandmother worked for 20 years. That entire town and Centerville both are where my heart lies and I will return one day one way or another.
Driven Dallas to Houston 1 time? And you call yourself a Texan....come join the traffic jam Chet!!! LOL I really don't want to know how many times I've driven to Houston from Dallas. I just know it's a LOT. Stopping in Centerville, you gotta do it man. Gotta fuel up the car and the stomach and relive some stuff as well. I think that guy measuring the ribeye's for the Leona General Store got fired....they are now charging $1.75 per oz over 10 oz. LOL
I've been watching since season 2 on PBS and it's so cool to see how much this show has changed in style, it's always a fun watch! I travel for work, but live in TX so when I'm missing home I pop these eps on and I feel much better (and have new ideas for road trips when I'm home!)
I grew up in Centerville. I don't recommend living there if you have kids. The schools are not good man. If you wanna just live out on some cheap land, Leon county has some beautiful plots.
I also grew up in Centerville and my experience with the school was a nightmare. Loved my teachers but like, the kids were awful to me. Like absolutely awful. I don't remember much about the school system as a whole compared to others like when I moved to Houston but I would never let my kid go to school in Centerville just from the lack of care the school seemed to have about how I was treated (yes situations occured where even the police had to get called).

Rusty was such a good good man.

I went to Sam Houston State and have driven 45 many times. GO Bearkats
Woodys, you can’t travel I-45 without stopping by there.
No mention of Lightnin' Hopkins?
We talked about him in Crockett with his statue.
I’ve always loved going into Woody’s. I got my mom hooked on that store before she passed away.
The BLTs at Woody’s are the best. Smoked bacon is the key.
Yeah, Good job Chet.
love centerville, the food, & land ; but the school district and people are the worst!!
I am stopping my next trip to Sam Houston State in Huntsville
Chet, hire me 😁

I have lived in Texas all my life. Love to watch your videos. I plan our vacations by watching you. Have not been disappointed yet.😊

@msvalcalla3409 those situations are all too common there. It's a genuine tragedy.
