I really enjoy the remoteness and landscape of the Marfa/Ft Davis area. I've always thought though that the type of contemporary art featured there has an "Emperor's New Clothes" feel to it. Since all the cool and sophisticated people think it's important and insightful, the rest of us just squint, nod our heads, stroke our chins while thinking "something must be wrong with me, I just don't get it".
IDK about the Falafel being served in a flour tortilla...sort of vlands out the taste of pita bread that its traditionally served in but if I remember growing up in Marfa...international type foods aren't found easily in Marfa.
Thank you, this was great! I looked up real estate online for Marfa, and found it ASTOUNDINGLY expensive! The cheapest building lots, which were about 6,000 sq ft, were asking $70,000. There were even a couple of homes there listed for over a million bucks. Sure would like to visit there!
Yeah, I was out there in ‘14’ staying in a Mongolian Yurt at El Cosmico. I walked into the communal area, hoping to catch a little news. When I mentioned FOX News, you could have heard a pin drop, it was suggested that I leave, outnumbered by some 20+ backpackers, well…Definitely lacking the ol’ Texas hospitality.
And they say Austin is weird? This place takes the cake!
I've only spent a few hours in Marfa....need to take some time to enjoy a few days next trip out.

Went to see the Marfa lights but all I saw was Bud Lights.

Yep. It's high profile these days
Prada VALENTINE

Yep, definitely a long haul from Marfa, a change in the place name is due.
I wish that you could of experience the Pizza Foundation, it's the best pizza of all of West Texas.
"Sam Houston"😂😂😂
The planes look better than the self proclaimed art.
I'm by no means an art expert, but that was a stretch.
One place I won't visit. To strange for me.
I wonder if Marfa still has the annual Marfa Mystery Lighrs Festival....anyone know?
Yes is still happens

Keep on 'dissing Fort Stockton. Marfa is on regular rotation, weirdo. Especially for anyone with a Harley. Come see us.
Is there anything else in Fort Stockton these days other then the McDonald's and Wlamart?
A big roadrunner
@@theguardowl Lots of hidden gems.
@@theguardowl KBobs and Dominos
Stupid boxes not art
Agreed!
I was going to send this to my friends and family, but the two minutes or so that you spent on the Marfa Lights were terrible. I am disappointed.
All of these food places are permanently closed. Was this filmed precovid??
Yes. This is from Season 3. Info in the caption.
@@TheDaytripperthanks, I thought I was losing it for a moment. Love your channel man.
