Just a drive around town
July 4, 2008
The sign into Kilgore
We have quite a few hotels in town as well as some pretty good little restuarants. I have included some photos of the drive in and around.
The Worlds riches acre has to be one of the highlights. Oil is very import, even today. When you drive up Hwy 42 all you see are oil field companies and trucks.
We have the world famous Rangerettes here as well.

There is a lot of Texas pride around here. You can see the flag painted everywhere. I like that there is not too much traffic in the city. Kilgore is still close to everything: Dallas, 2 hrs by car or 30 minutes by plane; Houston, 3 hrs by car; Austin 4.5 hrs by car; Shreveport, LA 40 minutes by car and a lot of other little town within a stones through.
I have made a lot of friends and have a great church family. There are quite a few churches to worship with, we are in the Bible belt. I don't want to sound like the chamber, but I the more and more I am involved with this site, the more and more I find myself liking where I live. And the more I like where I live, the more I want to share it with others.

Cleanest hotel in town
I was having some work done at my house and stayed here. They were very kind and accomodating. The church I attend also needed a room for a person in need, and they offered us a good rate. I was very pleased. The main thing is you get the Holiday Inn Express quality, a free breakfast and there is a hot tub there. It is just in the north part of town close enough to I-20, yet still far enough away not to be bothered by highway noise. They are building two more hotels in the same area, but I still think this is going to be the best place to stay as well as a good value.
There is also a retaurant across the street called the Kilgore Cafe. Pretty good food for a good price. They have a breakfast buffet for a good price. The only bad thing is that the place allows smoking throughout.
