Forreston

If you're ever driving on US 77 between Waxahachie and Italy and drop a Cheeto on the floorboard, by the time you reach down and pick it up, you will have passed through the entirety of the tiny community of Forreston. Dating back to the 1850's, Forreston was never really more than a blip on the map; at its peak it claimed 250 residents (as of 2010 an estimated 240 are still there); but today it has the odd distinction of being home to Bon Ton Vintage, which claims to have the largest selection of vintage clothing in all of Texas. 

Uncle Jessie is buried there, too. Which is way cool.
