Friendly Albino Armadillo The meat market is gone but the little guy is still there. When you visit him, go the extra mile or two to the Dallas Arboretum. No roadside attractions, but it's still very nice.

Albino Armadillo There's a strange, white armadillo standing on the Nortena Meat Market sign. He wears a red cowboy hat, red cowboy boots, and teal gloves. When driving down the road, my husband thought it was an albino rat. Closer inspection revealed an armadillo waving at us. I don't know anyone who has ever eaten armadillo, but if that's what they advertise on their meat market sign, I guess they specialize in road kill.
