What I see while moseying around Bandera these days is something that few in the current population will see or feel while traveling through our town.
Every time I come out of the OST in my mind I can still see the oldtimers sitting on those large concrete window ledges out front. Most folks won’t even take notice of those ledges because of the benches which have been added in more recent times blocking the view.
Oldtimers like myself don’t even go to town just to hang around with other oldtimers and shoot the breeze like they did back in the day. That’s the way the town news was spread in earlier times but it seems folks are just too busy now. They all have the internet where there are ten different versions of the latest happenings. On the positive side there are no longer chewing tobacco stains all over the sidewalk and paved parking spots in front of the OST.
