When you are from Pearsall, you have a different kind of pride. You are not necessarily proud of the town- there is nothing there to see. Maybe it is the fact that only the people who grew up there get it....all of our experiences are much the same. The football field is the same that generations and generations have spent every Friday night in the Fall. It is the only place that you cruise the L or where Rock-n-roll becomes Rocking Roll (proudly spray painted on a building). So many memories in one little run-down town. We always talk about taking pics all over town as a form of nostalgia. We were all going to wear our Letterman jackets (yes we all still have them) and hit all the spots. This was a very unplanned, impromptu version of that. However imperfect the pictures or the town is, we will always remember this shoot on Christmas day.

Having too much fun! Do they still cruise the "L"? We had the "loop" and kids these days don't even know what it is. They apparently just hang out at people's houses in do drugs -- what's fun about that? They don't know what they're missing.
