A to Z - Eye on Texas: Q

 Eye on Texas Q - heads to the Texas/Oklahoma border to visit Quanah, TX. It is a city formed in 1884 as a stop on a railway and named for the last Comanche chief - Quanah Parker.


Based on Wikipedia, Quanah looks like it has a small town feel. Copper Breaks State Park is south of the city. There's also a small railroad museum.

Let's have a quote from the Downton Abbey -
Cora: "I might send her over to visit my aunt. She could get to know New York"
Countess: "Oh, I don't think things are quite that desperate."

Send her to Quanah, Texas - that could shake things up.    

Happy Q Day
