We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Holland calls itself the Corn Capital of Texas, which is a bold title for a town of barely a thousand people. Even the highway runs through this place without slowing down because there's literally nothing to slow down for.
For decades, Holland has thrown a festival celebrating corn like it's the second coming of Christ. They hold chicken flying competitions because apparently when your biggest achievement is growing vegetables, you need to milk it for all it's worth.
Holland residents can't afford to leave their corn paradise, and nobody's offering them a ride out. Their economy is basically kernels and dreams, and the dreams are running low.
Holland's glory days came with a few hundred people, a handful of churches, and its own newspaper. Now they're down to about a thousand residents guarding absolutely nothing except the dying tradition of celebrating vegetables in public. Even the Czech immigrants who built this place are probably rolling in their graves.
