If you drive around Texas, you’ll see no shortage of cities with unusual names. There’s Klondike and Ding Dong; Bacon and Egypt. But we focus on two city names that feel specific to Texas: Muleshoe and Gun Barrel City.

Baylee Friday talks to Gun Barrel City city planner Brooke Atkinson and Robyn Sykora, the executive director of the city's economic development corporation. Then she visits with Muleshoe-based writer Alice Liles.
