A couple additions.....parts of Waco are kinda hilly, and for those of y'all non-Texans, the name of the river is pronounced kinda like BRAZ-us. Sam Houston made a campaign stop in 1860 when he was running for governor, and had to have an armed escort out of town, due to his Unionist views.

Waco's a nice town. I lived there for 5 years, and enjoyed it.
