Kerr Mercantile building
Terrell County was created by the Texas Legislature by carving about 1,500,000 acres out of Pecos County in 1905. As a result of a county election, Sanderson became the County Seat and business began to grow. Before long, it boasted a number of hotels, a drug store, doctor, a vaudeville theater, and the 3-story brick Kerr Mercantile building. (English)

You cant corrupt it any morethan you can salt salt. You cant corrupt it because that’s whatit is. It’s the thing you’re talkin about.

It spreads quickly, with underground rhizomes shooting upwards of 18 feet, and it provides potentially dangerous illegal aliens with the cover they need to slip into the United States from across the Rio Grande. It is a major impediment, in particular, to DHS-led operations between Laredo and Del Rio, Texas—overrunning border access roads, reducing visibility, and hiding illegal activities. (English)
