Nac Facts (Stuff You Might Not Have Realized, But Are True)
There are things that are absolute in Nacogdoches. I'm talking about the things that we KNOW for a fact are true. Fact: Nacogdoches is home to Stephen F. Austin State University. Fact: Nacogdoches is known as the "Oldest Town In Texas". And there are many other facts that we could name.
However, there is a list of things in Nacogdoches that you may not realize, but that are provable things. This is just the beginning of that list.

If you stop at one red light - on any street in the city - you're going to have to stop at ALL OF THEM.
Think I'm joking? Watch and see what happens next time you have to stop on University Drive.
