TEXARKANA MAGAZINE
I took a weekend trip with some of my closest friends to Dallas right before the pandemic hit hard in 2020. We were just four broke twenty-somethings foolishly wasting the last dimes of our paychecks, combining our pocket change for the cheapest hotel room we could find, all in the name of leaving town for a few days and wandering around a big city together. It was one of those trips where you want to leave assured that spontaneity can, in fact, be fun. Out of every random activity that weekend, the most fun thing we did was ride around downtown Dallas on Bird scooters for three hours. The over-thinker in me wants to understand so badly why humans enjoy driving things around outside that go very fast. In 2020, there were hundreds of cities in the United States with Bird scooters on every corner, but Texarkana was yet to be one of them—sad times. Dallas was the only way my friends and I could experience how much fun these electric scooters were. We always said, “Ugh, I wish we had these in Texarkana!” Now, fast forward to 2023, and our dreams have come true! Hallelujah!
