Church on W. Bugscuffle Road

Newport, TX ~ estimated population ~ 70!

Thanks to Lynn for the following info about the origin of the word Bugscuffle:
"Bugscuffle comes from an infestation of boll weevils that killed most of Texas's cotton crop a hundred years ago."

This looks so typically American. As for the name, it reminds me of a mythical character dreamt up by English comedian Marty Feldman "Danny Gruntfuttock".

Looks like a Hopper painting, I hope he would have put in the street sign too. Ace capture, Steph! V

big enough for the entire population to attend services..superbly portrayed, and the road name does make one wonder...V

I was going to mention Edward Hopper, but Walter beat me to it. You can't make up names like that. V

Walter Otto Koenig		19-Sep-2013 14:44
I like the Hopperesque feel to this image. The sign adds another dimension. "V"

Originally known as Bear Hill. In 1879, the name was changed to Newport-a word formed from combining the first letters of the surnames of seven leading residents. And the street is pronounced Bug Scuffle. That at a fairly common name throughout Texas, Bugscuffle Ranch, Bugscuffle Inn, Bugscuffle Oilfield, etc. This is a wonderful photo. I love the simpleness and negative space. V

PS - is it pronounced Bugs-cuffle or Bug-scuffle? Just wondered :)

Chris		19-Sep-2013 09:50
I adore the name of the road - however, they have exactly SEVEN times the population of Masrembaud....
