Seguin, Texas - World's Largest Pecan

We had the dubious honor of being stuck, uh, allowed to visit the town of Seguin, Texas for r.v. repairs in November, 1997. After searching in vain for our usual souvenir postcard without finding one anywhere in town, one of the locals finally fessed up that there was just nothing in town worthy of a postcard. Pretty hard to believe considering the crappy postcards one finds around these days. But as you begin to know Seguin, you begin to understand. This is pecan country and in a valiant effort to keep from going down in history with nothing to say for itself, the town has placed "the world's largest pecan" on the lawn in front of the courthouse. This is a metal sculpture about five feet long that looks like, well, like a pecan, (in the shell which is definitely the most boring part of the pecan). [Roger A. Loo, 07/09/1998]
