Most Important things in Luckenbach..


Not exactly sure where the term BLOG came from but it sounds like something we would have in Luckenbach.  Probably find it in some nook or cranny in the floor, the wall or even the ceiling.  Whatever it is, Luckenbach is a good source for a BLOG.

The picture on the header of the Luckenbach Texas Official Blog speaks volumes; whether you have been here or not.  The photo says slow down, sit a spell, look around, just be.  That is Luckenbach.  That is what we do here.  That is all we are.  A place to come hang out awhile, sit and be still, meet some new people, catch up with some old people or some young people, buy a t-shirt and drink a COLD beer.  This photo (Robbyn Dodd) looks across the front porch of the General Store/Post Office onto the statue or "bust" of Hondo, Our Father. The 2 most important things in Luckenbach and the first things you see when you visit.

The General Store/Post Office was built in 1849.  Hondo bought it in 1971.  A lot has happened in this town before and after Hondo.  One thing about Luckenbach...spirits lurk.  Happy spirits.  It's the magic of this town.  Hondo swears it is our Full Moons. No matter who happens to be runnin' things at the time, Luckenbach will always do what Luckenbach does.  Luckenbach attracts people, holds them and wraps it's arms around them in various ways.  You will have to come visit in person to really get it.... if you ain't ScaReD  to be "Somebody".  You see,  Everybody's Somebody in this town.
