Day Trips: Bistro20, Stanton • The Austin Chronicle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bistro20 in Stanton isn’t a normal hospital cafeteria. Situated on Interstate 20 between Midland and Big Spring, it’s an affordable fine-dining oasis among truck stops and fast-food joints.

Read excerpt
Famous footwear. Texas claims several entries in the Guinness Book of World Records, but one of the most famous is “The Giant Justins,” otherwise known as the World’s Largest Cowboy Boots. Before the 40-foot-tall and 30-foot-long faux-ostrich boots landed along Loop 410 in San Antonio they were part of Washington Project for the Arts funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1979, Austin native Bob “Daddy-O” Wade made the boots, which turned out to be one of many whimsical art projects h
