The town of Willis, just north of Conroe had a cigar factory at one time which helped get it going. Some of the big towns way back when are the little ones now and visa vesa.<br /><br />misdeb, yep, it has mellowed out even in the time I have lived here. And for me, a lot of the scarry things I remember as a kid ain't as scarry any more.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-78922877519883306722010-08-06T12:59:43.163-05:002010-08-06T12:59:43.163-05:00I remember in the 60's my Dad getting a ticket...I remember in the 60's my Dad getting a ticket in Cut-n-Shoot. We were scared to death and afraid they were going to take him to jail. It was a notorious speed trap for people coming back from the lakes to Houston. We rode our motorcycles thru there last year and it wasn't as scary as I remembered as a child!

He said " if you want to see where the town got it's name, come through on a Saturday night!".<br /><br />Lots of history in your neck of the woods!HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-59541649568113889762010-08-06T11:13:51.091-05:002010-08-06T11:13:51.091-05:00There are a lot of stories around and I have heard...There are a lot of stories around and I have heard all that are in your link. Most people believe it is "I'm going to cut through the woods and shoot over to Grandma's house".<br /><br />But there were many churches and bars here. We have lost a couple of bars and gained a couple of churches, so you see who wins in the long haul.<br /><br />Willie Nelson got his start here when Butler owned the Long Horn bar here. Nelson also owned a home here at one time and would play at the Long Horn when in town. The Long Horn burnt down a few years ago.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-60931593216222178052010-08-06T09:16:35.672-05:002010-08-06T09:16:35.672-05:00Is this how the town got it's name?
