My mom had more than a few arguments with postal clerks when she tried to send packages to West. They would invariably tell her that "West Texas is a big place." It's a great little town.
Bill, when I was in the Air Force in the late 70s, maybe 1980, there was a pilot I served on alert with from West, Texas. He liked to start introductions with people playing dumb in conversations like:
Where you from?
West Texas
Where abouts?
West, Texas
Okay, I know Texas, I mean where in West Texas .. Amarillo, El Paso, Midland-Odessa?
No, I'm from the town of West, Texas. Just north of Waco.
It was funny at the time, as he spoke it.
Fun facts: Google Maps thinks West, Texas is the southwestern-most part of El Paso. Apple Maps gets it right.
