Incidentally, I was born in Hico (1952).
Holy cow, Hico is tiny now. In 1952 it must have been little more than a wide spot in the road.
I stop at The Koffee Kup every time I drive back from Austin or San Antonio. Their lemon chess pie is the best I've ever had, and the pecan pie they serve is worth the drive from Fort Worth. Viva Hico.
