For those unfamiliar with the dynamics and history of Fredericksburg, let me offer some insight. Fredericksburg was settled by Germans. Spoken German can still be heard on the streets and in the some of the shops. The strudel is so goddamn good at The Old German Bakery, that I gladly jump my carni-centric reservation to indulge. Where many a small Texas town has dried up and blown away like oh-so-many tumbleweeds, Fredericksburg is and always has been a little town that could, chiefly because of the ingrained sense of community, shared history and Teutonic acumen for success. Blud and boden is more than a catchy slogan parroted by tiki torch wielding cosplayers to the residents 'round The 'Burg. But, yeah, like many of our Texas gems, the word is out and the carpet baggers are flooding in. Damn shame.
It’s a nice little town. Unfortunately it’s getting fucked up by Californians, New Yorkers, etc. it’s a shame
