CRAWFORD, Texas? I will respond.

We want to make it be an event. For the weekend. Protest, rally, march, film and much more. Anyone interested?

[whistle]

1. Does Crowford TX even have a theater screen?

...Other than in the public school gym?

This is from the Texas Handbook:

CRAWFORD, TEXAS. Crawford is at the intersection of State Highway 317 and Farm Road 185, eighteen miles west of Waco in western McLennan County. Settlement of the area began in the 1850s and centered around Tonk Crossing (also called Crawford Crossing), a ford of the Middle Bosque River two miles east of the present town. The community was probably named for Nelson Crawford, who graded the river crossing. As early as 1867 the inn at Crawford was used as a changing station by the Brownwood stage line. A Crawford post office was established in 1871 with John Hamlin as postmaster. In 1881 the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway laid track from Temple to Fort Worth, passing two miles west of Crawford. The focus of the community shifted to the railroad, and by 1890 Crawford had steam flour and corn mills, two general stores, three groceries, a cotton gin, four churches, and 400 residents; cotton, wheat, hides, and corn were the principal shipments from the area.

The population of Crawford fell to 425 in the 1950s but rose again to 480 in the 1960s; it remained fairly stable through the 1970s but rose sharply in the 1980s, as more residents decided to live in Crawford and commute to work in Waco or nearby McGregor. The population was reported at 667 in the late 1980s. In 1990 it was 631.

Maybe they still have a drive-in movie theater in Crawford.

5. We are working with other organizations to set up a screen in a park.

It has the potential to be a great moment for us all.

10. It is not Crowford, it is Crawford. No O.

just a slight spelling error.

2. a small detail

Has crawford a screen?

looks like they would have to have it in Waco - how appropriate.

Crawford, about 80 miles south of Dallas, once was a thriving agriculture community with three cotton gins, grocery stores, a drugstore, bank, movie theater and car dealership.

Most businesses closed as small farms stopped operating and people moved to bigger cities the past few decades. Now, the community is a mix of retirees and those who work in Waco, 20 miles to the east.

6. Crawford does not have a screen theater, but they do have one heck of a

park, and for the 3/20 event, we had a large screen projection. It can be done again.

11. Waco is the home of Baylor University. We want to make this be an

event outside WACO. Many of us call it Wacko. Reasons unknown.

13. As a Baylor alum, I have witnessed Wacko. LOL (nt)

12. 80 miles from dallas?

holy crap, i had no idea it was that close...

i thought i smelled something.

[Cleita]

3. Do they have a movie theater in Crawford?

How about a drive-in? That would be unique. Or, see if you can get a farmer's pasture, Woodstock style, to set up a movie screen. It could be a possibility. However, be forewarned that everyone in Crawford, I am sure, has guns.

4. There must be a screen in the "Bush Compound".

I'm sure the neighbors can walk right up to the front door and be welcome to use the viewing room. Crawford is a regular place, with regular people....like Bush.

"Come on over, folks. I'll barbeque!" says dubya.

[DaveSZ]

7. I'll go volunteer if you guys pull this off

Sounds like a blast!

The mayor might go for it, since he doesn't like *.

[anarchy1999]

8. "we" are not allowed any where near the "Bush" compound.

Compound it is, in every extreme, please don't let anyone forget all it ever was, was a PIG FARM!

[Lisa0825]

16. There are no theaters in Crawford. We want to make it an open air event.

There are no theaters in Crawford. There is great park and there are groups ready, willing and able to set it up. This is the event to make happen.

18. Fantastic...wishing I was there!

would someone give us updates on how things go opening night, anarchy?

17. Orlando or Tampa

The Democrats should have had their convention in Orlando or Tampa. But Orlando for Farenheit 9/11 would be perfect since Disney is hear, it is in JEB's heartland, and remeber 2000.
