You can't be that old! I don't think the one in Texas even has a building anymore even though it is on Mapquest. I looked at the aerial map and see nothing. Maybe an old parking lot.

TXDoT has trouble keeping the sign. Seems college students from Commerce and other regional schools like having an "artificact" along that highway between Ladonia and Honey Grove.

That's not the Bug Tussle that I know. The Bug Tussle I know is at the intersection of U.S. Hwy 84 & FM 225 in Rusk County. It is about 5 miles north of Cushing, and about 20 miles south of Henderson. Real pretty area with a couple of abandoned dilapidated buildings. There's still a sign there that says it's Bug Tussle, Texas.
