California or New Jersey, I could see this, but not in deep East Texas. It is in REALLY DEEP east Texas.
Thangs be a little different there. 
If they make enough noise the school will knock it off, maybe...

Center, Texas - The county seat of Shelby County.
My mom was born in Timpson, Texas (also in Shelby County), so we spent a good bit of time in that area visiting with relatives.
Every time we drove up there and was entering the area, my mom would call out:
"Teneha, Timpson, Bobo and Blair".
"If you ain't been here you ain't been no where."
Tex Ritter (father of Three's Company star 'John Ritter') wrote a song containing the names of those four small towns.
His song was based on the railroad stop calls of the HE&WT (Houston, East and West Texas Railroad) where the porter would proudly call out the names just like that.
According to the following source, during WWI, members of the National Guard Unit composed by men from Shelby County discarded the marching cadence of 'hup, two, three, four' for 'Teneha, Timpson, Bobo and Blair'.

To this day - just as mom told me, there is a sign outside of the area that reads:
'Teneha, Timpson, Bobo and Blair - If you ain't been here, you ain't been nowhere.'
It's a beautiful area.
