The Best Origin Story Ever is in a Tiny Texas Town | Google Maps Gems
🔔 Just outside Austin, it's DingDong, Texas: home to not only Joe Mama's General Store, but also the greatest origin story of all time. Even if you think you know how it ended up being called DingDong... you don't. Also, place your bets on population size. We're goin' in.
👍 Please like or subscribe if you enjoyed! And please make a suggestion for the next adventure.
P.S. I have to write it as DingDong with no space because with the space... YouTube tells me it's too naughty for innocent internet eyes.
