    Back before Borger's Main Street was a ghost town. I was in my early 20's when this was made and I remember all of these places.

    Recently, so many big businesses moved into borger, like Wendy's, Chicken express, Burkes outlet, little caesars, Starbucks, and Tractor Supply. I vaguely remember Cedar lanes bowling as i was a small child when it was still open

      One place from Borger that I forgot existed was the Cedar Street Grill. I loved their grilled cheese sandwiches, I used to go there as a small child, I loved it

    I was an EMT in Hansford County, north of there, in 1980. I hauled many sick and injured folks to the ER in the hospital there. These scenes are so familiar. I can still smell it!

    I lived there for 3 yrs and got out as soon as I could. Corruption, crime and discrimination was a major part of the town. I hear it’s dying now! Goo! I lived there in the 1980s and got out as fast as my family could. Crime is its middle name
