On Postcards from Texas
by Jon Ray on January 15, 2009
If we’re going to change the way people think about Texans, we’ve got to start at the root of their information source. These postcards have got to go. I promised to write a bunch of people postcards the other day and as such, I had to go out and buy some. I have never purchased postcards in Texas, because one does not typically send postcards from a city that they reside in full-time. As I went from tourist attraction to tourist attraction, looking for a decent postcard selection, I suddenly realized why the rest of the country thinks we’re galloping around on horses and tending to our ranches. Every postcard I found conveyed that very image. We’ve fallen victim to our own terrible marketing paraphernalia.
