LOCAL VIBES Locally owned businesses are the cornerstone of Texarkana. Our unique character has been built by the businesses operating in our city. As members of our community, Texarkana’s local business owners share the values and needs of their friends and neighbors and are committed to meeting those needs with friendly, hometown customer service. Whether it’s Merchant House Interiors, Fan Fare Gifts & Boutique, Four States Furniture or Redbone Magic Brewing, Midtown is home to many of Texarkana’s quality local businesses and restaurants, stimulating our economy and supporting our residents. Midtown is where you will find the historic homes of Texarkana. Craftsmanship and style describe these neighborhoods, with large yards and canopies of beautiful trees. These classic homes offer a look into the character of Texarkana in days gone by, and the restoration of so many gems has brought them back to their former glory. Another attraction of Midtown is beautiful Spring Lake Park. At the center of the 145-acre landscape is a spring- fed lake surrounded by open green spaces, playgrounds, walking trails, a disc golf course and covered picnic areas. It’s the perfect place to spend a Texarkana weekend. Also in the park is Swanger Sports Complex, which hosts Texarkana Dixie Baseball, and Dobson Field, home of The Texas A&M– Texarkana Eagles. On a hot summer day, the park’s Rotary Splash Pad provides cooling relief with its 18 water structures. There’s even a place for man’s best friend to enjoy a safe and secure outdoor location to run and play in the Kylee Sullivan-Pet Safe Dog Park. Whether it’s fishing in the lake or watching Movies in the Park, Midtown’s Spring Lake Park is the perfect outdoor retreat.
