Lots of tourism from the Marfa lights I guess.

Not much in Marfa, but they do have a sculpture museum with some of the worst “art” you can imagine, one high toned restaurant called Riatta’s (After the movie Giant which was filmed around Marfa), and the obligatory Dairy Queen (A true Texas institution). The Marfa Lights are real. I've seen them. Don't know what causes them, but if you're ever in far West Texas go see the Marfa Lights. The Texas Highway Department has built a viewing area for the lights on the state highway going east from Marfa. It's worth seeing.
