Whenever we traveled to Dallas/Ft Worth my mother always wanted to stop and eat at the Smokestack Restaurant. I haven’t stopped there at all since she passed away.

Went past it today.

I think I was there when I was 5 years old. My parents were traveling west for a school reunion. I had biscuits at the restaurant and went out to the smoke stack by myself. 56years ago. I remember but never knew where. Less trees then.

Nice post. Beautiful part of the country. My mother's family is from Ranger and she graduated high school there right before the war. We ate at the Smoke Stack when I was a kid in the area for a family cemetery work. Sure brings back memories.

I have been a Thurber several times. I was wanting to get one of those Thurber bricks for a souvenir but I was afraid I might get in trouble

Been there a couple of times. Be sure to stop and eat lunch at the Smokestack Restaraunt.😅😊

The New York Hill Restaurant on the south side of I-20 is good, too.

It's definitely a cool place to stop.

Yes it is, so many great small towns throughout Texas to visit as you well know.

The US is so interesting with its history. Cheers

Oh I didn't know you drove a big rig, 1st off, thank you as you guys keep this country moving and 2nd, I bet you see some cool and interesting things while on the road. Thurber is a neat little town, but then again Texas is full of these great hidden gems.

@@ExploringwithAndre I worked in the big mainframe computer rooms, as the System Programmer from 1969-2009. Then Verizon bought MCI and shipped all IT jobs to India. So I ended up driving truck for the last 5 years till I retired. Drove from Alamosa, CO to Waco twice a week with potatoes. Then I went all over the country. Saw lots of things but could rarely stop. No time, and usually no place to park the truck. So I called it quits and stayed home. Had a couple heart operations and that slowed me down alot. I go to the gym but even that is tough. But I have liked your style of videos. Take a break, and do the fun ones. 👍 Have a good weekend with your family. 🇺🇸
