Texas

From Wikia Travel

Big Texas, the mascot of the Texas State Fair since 1952.


Texas - second only to Alaska in size, and the only state in the US to have once been a separate country. These two features are the fundamental components to the spirit and identity of Texas. For instance, from El Paso in the west, to Port Arthur almost 900 miles to the east, one will see Texas state flags flying from the masts of many business establishments that are enormous to point of disbelief. Any other state in the US and mostly you'll see modest state flags flying inconspicuously from anonymous government buildings, and that's it. Why? More than likely because business owners know that the people of Texas consider themselves Texans more passionately than people from say California consider themselves Californians, or any other state for that matter. Furthermore, the cliche that everything is larger in Texas has some truth to it, as do most cliches.
