Hi all,
Yesterday afternoon after the Cars and Coffee meet I had to run up to Waco. My oldest son was in Dallas all weekend and my brother-in-law ran him to Waco for a hand-off, since Waco is about halfway between Dallas and Austin.
We met at the original Dr. Pepper Factory, which is now a museum. Neat place, especially for someone addicted to Diet Dr. Pepper....
One of the more interesting things was the building was heavily damaged by a big tornado back in 1953, and when it was re-built the bricks used turned out to be a lighter color. On the side of the building you can see exactly where the tornado hit. Kinda neat.
Nabbed some pics, enjoy!
See where the tornado hit on the side there?
Fun stuff!
