Paris in Under Two Hours

I recently had a big dilemma. I had a shoot in Paris and had to get there and back in a day.

Since the Concorde fleet was retired in 2003, I had to find the next fastest vehicle: a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country minivan. With it’s speed and sleek aerodynamic fuselage, I was able to make the trip from Texarkana to Paris in about an hour and forty-five minutes. And no tickets to boot.

I was in Texarkana working on the Business Images of the Ark-Tex Region magazine for the Ark-Tex Council of Governments and spent about four days exploring the counties that make up the area.

And believe it or not, there really is a replica of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, TX, with a cowboy hat on top.

The Methodist Church in Ben Franklin, TX, was erected in 1898. Settled in 1835, the community got its post office in 1853 and by 1884, its population reached 200.
