The bridge spans 475-feet, and at one point, was considered the longest single-span suspension bridge west of the Mississippi. The Waco Suspension Bridge is majestic, yet aesthetically pleasing. It now serves as a pedestrian crossing. When you walk out on the bridge, it is peaceful, quiet and serene. Listening to the water meander under the bridge almost puts you in a trance. In addition to the bridge, the steers in the front of the bridge are being renovating...painted and sealed with hot wax.

This was a nice walk. Saw a few homeless people. They were nice and friendly. I understand that they had renovated the suspension bridge recently. It's a nice park and area to walk around.

If you're in Waxahachie and you haven't hit the famous Waxahachie Pothole, are you even living?…read moreThis isn't just a pothole--it's a landmark, a rite of passage, a black hole for your suspension. Locals say it's been here since the dinosaurs, and honestly, I believe it. My car hit it so hard, I swear I saw fossils. The Waxahachie Pothole offers a full range of emotions: terror, regret, and then a strange sense of accomplishment. It's like a surprise party for your tires, except the party is hosted by gravity and asphalt neglect. Bonus points for the sound effects--it's like your car screams, "Why have you forsaken me?" in real time. For the full experience, I recommend hitting it at night, when it's camouflaged by the streetlights. Daylight encounters are fine too, but you miss the thrill of the element of surprise. And don't worry--if you get stuck, locals will be more than happy to charge you a tow fee while sharing their own pothole horror stories. Honestly, this pothole is a Waxahachie treasure. Sure, I lost a hubcap, but I gained a story to tell at every barbecue from now until eternity. 10/10, would hit again (mostly because I have no choice). Thank you, Waxahachie, for this masterpiece of municipal engineering!

Oswald was fatally shot by local nightclub owner Jack Ruby in the basement of the Dallas Police headquarters two days later. Please note that this is an active cemetery so be respectful.

It's a fun Texas-size offering that'll take you 60 seconds to park, hop out of your car, and take a couple photos with it. One might call it touristy. But the absence of any fees to park or view it, plus the absence of places hawking postcards or memorabilia makes me think that it's just a celebration of all things Americana (or would that be Texicana?)
