I grew up in Texas, and encountered people in that small town that told me not to go to high school. Some were relatives. They told me it was a waste of time. I did anyway, went to university as well.

I did a web search on that town about 5 years ago. They went from just the library and a news stand to that plus 2 used book stores. Less than 10,000 people.

A nearby city of 30,000 had a public library, news stand and a book store.

But, there is much cross border violence in the Laredo area. That might be a reason the book store closed.
