In Texas, Montague is pronounced as "mon-TAIG".
The town is the county seat of Montague County (pronounced similarly) and has a population of roughly 200.
They've got a substantial courthouse and a complete courthouse square -- 'cept for one thing. There aren't enough businesses in town to fill up the four opposite sides of the street from the courthouse. As a consequence, the courthouse looks a little naked -- with only about a block-and-a-half's worth of business scattered around the square.
The town is also heavily populated by people of Italian descent -- most of the men with the same name. The family name escapes me, but the men are all named Joe -- and known by "Joe on the hill", "Joe on the square", or "Joe on the creek", etc.
Montague also offers one of the very few permanent bocci courts in the state of Texas. It's right across the street from the courthouse...

...now I've got to get one of those luscious DQ baskets with the 'libary' paste gravy to sop up the tasty chicken-fried steak fingers with, and all those french-fries (whose quality McDonalds doesn't come near). And then the banana split afterwards, of course.:) [Homer voice] DQ Banana split ... mmmmm...

Since Dan Rather hails from Texas roots, design a way for a Texas girl to goose him so he goes "YEEEE HAAA" on the air.
Be bold! This is your mission if you decide to accept it.
