Just to the south~~east~~west of Dallas, Texas - and far enough for Dallas to be a weekend trip, rather than a quick stop into town at that - is Dublin, Texas.  It is remarkable in only two ways.  One is that it is one of the rare towns in Texas that doesn't feel as if it is navigating one of the tightest turns of a terminal decline that has lasted so long that no one living there remembers the supposed good old days.  The other is that they make and bottle Dr. Pepper.  Well, a variant of the stuff made with cane sugar rather than HFCS.
-Edit-
I've been informed that Dublin Doctor Pepper is no longer a thing and also reminded that left on the the average map is west rather than east.  That leaves me with only one other thing.  The first time I attended a Ren Faire, my wife and I got to talking with the purveyors of some costume shop or another, and after a congenial, meandering discussion, they told us that they'd be moving to Dublin.  This fact was allowed to stand while we processed the monumental move in store from them, and then they threw in that crucial additional detail that it was Dublin, Texas.
Burning vinyl chloride creates Phosgene gas. It’s heavier than air, so it fills basements, and valleys and trenches. It was used in WWI for trench warfare. Get out of the area. This stuff can kill. >

Crazy how 500 refused. >

Leave it to Americans to refuse to evacuate a fucking WWI gas attack on their suburb >

"OK well if you're not going to leave at least take these gas masks."
Did you say MASKS? >

Hate to say it, but this made me smile >

Not to be punny but, it’s like watching a train wreck.
Except I stopped feeling bad for watching, and I’m rooting for the train instead of the people. >

I love Reddit for tiny communities like that, lol, what a sub. >

A glance at the title with “Gov. Mike DeWine”, “East Palestine”, and “deploys National Guard” had me real confused for a moment. >

Hah! I grew up around here. 
You could also visit East Liverpool, Calcutta, Lisbon, Poland, North Lima, Vienna, and Mecca within maybe an hour’s drive from East Palestine. 
As a kid, I remember being confused by some of those names. Also, if I recall, the “i” sound in Lima and Vienna sounds like “eye.” >

There's also a Paris, London, and Dublin in ohio.
