If I were a trucker at a truck rodeo in georgia, and was to take a bet to pick up an illegal load of 400 cases of coors beer and bring it back to Georgia, i reckon texarkana would be where I stopped for the beer.[Edited on March 27, 2012 at 12:34 AM. Reason : i mean shit, 80 thousand dollars. ]

Texarkana featured prominently in "A Canticle for Liebowitz." So did a dead Jewish Catholic nuclear scientist monk. Coincidence? Yes.
