Sotheast Texas

Pecan Logs and Gator Heads
Pecans and Alligators are two things that Southeast Texas is famous for... rice and crawfish are close behind.
Drive-by shot of an iconic sign for the roadside restaurant that sells Texas souvenirs.
One of the more popular 'trinkets' for purchase to commemorate your trip is a dehydrated baby alligator head.
Yes. Not kidding.
That's a rice field in the background.

A wonderful find, very atmospheric. But gator heads?? No thanks.

This is fabulous! Love these old billboards.V

Now I'll be singing the Stuckey's commercial song all weekend.... Argh!!! LOL about the gator heads! V

One thing I treasure about Britain is the lack of roadside advertising like in the U.S. Although it must be said, some farmers conveniently place trailers in fields with advertising to make it legal!

what do the gator heads taste like? Chicken? :)

Whaaaaatttt!!! My god... Superb capture Lynn, but...brrrrr Don't like this idea at all. Thank you for sharing this but...this is crazy.

very cool catch! Pecans yes, dried alligator no! V

I absolutely LOVE pecans, especially in a pie!

Oh my goodness! Are there enough baby alligators there to be dehydrating their heads?! Wow! How interesting! Pecan roll for me, please.

Bob Davis		12-Apr-2017 00:21
nice memory. I didn't know any were open anymore

I wonder who on Earth would want alligators' heads! Interesting billboard, Lynn. V.

Hmmm, think I'll give the gator heads a miss, but the Pecan Log sounds good. :)

Alligator heads? Goodness! (shudders) :-D

Definitely an old sign and really interesting, though a bit surprised they still sell dead alligators (or parts thereof)! V

Walter Otto Koenig		11-Apr-2017 15:01
Cool this old weathered sign. They used to have good Cheeseburgers too. I thought Stuckey's was from Georgia.

Helen Betts		11-Apr-2017 14:47
How interesting is that! Not sure I'd want an alligator head in my house, even as a souvenir, though.
