ArkLaTex is what they call this region. From where I'm standing, you can just about throw a rock into Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. It's 97 Fahrenheit degrees at 7:30 pm, and the inmates are exercising inside the fenced in yard. Basketball, calisthenics, wind sprints - white boys with buzzed heads in white t-shirts and yellow sweatpants. Most of the old downtown on the Texas side is abandoned. What was it like when things were thriving here? Where did it go?
