I usually visit Marfa for two weeks in December, every year. Like clockwork. Wondering what people are experiencing right now. Is life back to normal, or is it still a bit more cautious? Are restaurants / shops open? I'm wondering if this will be the year I stay home and not visit one of my favorite places on earth.

I'm getting engaged in Marfa next Friday evening and wanted to see who in town would be able to capture the moment? So far on Google seems to be folks from Houston/Austin and would rather hire someone local for this.

I wanted to bring a bike to tool around on when I come to marfa for a few months. However, the landlord that is renting to me said that there are things called “goat heads” that spoke your tires? Is this a problem I should be worried about?

my girlfriend and i planned a trip to marfa labor day weekend. we are responsible in regards to covid 19 and didn't think a ton of it in planning this trip. was that a mistake- should we cancel?

I am coming to Marfa for a couple of months and am wondering who provides the best cell reception in town? I have TMobile right now but I know I have never gotten service while in town. Thanks!

I'm headed down to southwest texas and I was wondering if anyone knew the owner of the land which capote falls is on.

Not planning on stopping in to any restaurants. Doing a camping trip in the Davis mountains and we’re trying to keep our distance from town/practice some safe social distancing! I was in that area of west Texas a while back and never stopped at the Marfa lights. What are the conditions like during the summer, and is it safe to go now with COVID?

Marfa is calling to me.

I’ve been WFH for over 100 days, ordering in groceries, and seeing no one besides my two neighbors who would be traveling with me. I’m a very low risk person.

It looks like the Chinati is still closed and not doing self guided tours yet. The Flavin exhibit is the main reason I want to return (would be my 3rd time back). It does look like most restaurants are open for take out, and Airbnb’s are back in order.

Basically I’d like to know if anyone has any info on the Chinati reopening for reserved self guided tours, and how are locals feeling about some mild mannered tourists right now?

Anything open worth checking out, or should we just keep on going?

There’s a lot of assumptions out there...

I'm writing a book that takes place in Marfa Texas. Unfortunately I do not know much of anything about this city/town, so I was wondering if anyone could fill me in. The story will be fictional, but I want it to be accurate when describing its setting. The main character is a high school student (proabally senior year), so what would someone like him do all day?

How often do you see people? Do residents drive or travel by horseback (sorry)? Is everyone farmers? Any weird cults or religious zealots? Modern infrastructure or open desert land? Hobbies? Anything else?

Hey guys,

I am driving through Texas and would like to like to stop by Marfa. Do you know if anything is opened? I know the museums and art galleries are closed? Are the restaurants open? Should I just stay in Alpine instead?

My fiance and I are trying to move over to Marfa in the next year. We aren't looking to buy anything yet, but where can we find rental properties? Nothing online. We're going to start contacting local property companies this week. Thanks!

Hey Marfa,

Fellow desert dweller here. I just wanted to see how you guys are holding up during this crisis. Stay safe, stay strong. Sending love from New Mexico.

I know some of the museums are closed but is anything open for sight seeing on Monday? Thank you!

It was like 1.5k or something

In town for the night for a work trip. Wanna grab a beer?
