#9610 Seeking Literary Inspiration in Archer City, Texas

Wander the lonely streets of author Larry McMurtry’s hometown of Archer City, and you’ll immediately be drawn to The Royal Theater, which was featured in the movie version of McMurtry’s The Last Picture Show. The theater now hosts numerous productions including plays, oprys and the well-known Late Week Lazy Boy Supper Club, an acoustic show featuring Texas singer-songwriters. Next lose yourself among the hundreds of thousands of volumes at McMurtry’s bookstore, Booked Up, and when you emerge, check into the Spur Hotel or Lonesome Dove Inn to relish your new reads.
