Larry McMurtry set his novel of a dying north Texas town in his own dying north Texas town, and Bogdanovich filmed it there in stark black and white, the shuttered Royal Theater on the main street the emblem of the whole thing. McMurtry later filled the town with secondhand bookstores. The theater's facade still stands, preserved as a ruin of itself.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
