Archer City, Texas

Larry McMurtry grew up in Archer City (pop. 1848) and immortalized it (under a different name) in The Last Picture Show. Fourteen years ago he moved back and opened Booked Up, one of the largest independent bookstores in the country. This is building 4 of 4.

McMurtry stays here instead of his house, which he believes to be haunted.



The only place to eat dinner. See also: The Last Picture Show; Walter Benjamin at the Dairy Queen.
