Carl's Corner, Texas - Dancing Frogs at Willie Nelson-Branded Biodiesel Truck Stop

Dancing Frogs at truck stop Interstate 35 south of Dallas --- Recent photos of Bob Wade's Dancing Frogs at the new "Willie's Place" at Carl's Corners (Willie Nelson music venue, truck stop and Bio-diesel facility). [Bob, 09/05/2008]

I don't know who Carl is, but he seems like a nice fellow. As you travel south on Interstate 35 East from Dallas, you pass through this town. The welcome signs are quite weathered, but the best one is a big 18-wheeler, with Carl, I assume, at the wheel, his friendly smile and cowboy hat greeting travelers. After passing this sign, the traveler will pass a gas station with giant frogs on the roof. I think the frogs are dancing, perhaps playing musical instruments...? [Julie E., 01/07/1998]

[RA: The gas station is now known as Willie's Place at Carl’s Corner, with Willie Nelson's handprint in a block of cement. Carl Cornelius, who founded the town, has evidently moved on. The frog sculpture is a creation of artist Bob "Daddy-O" Wade (also responsible for the long-gone Iguana that used to perch on the roof of NYC's Lone Star Cafe). It's a six-piece orchestra of frogs.]
