Ding Dong, Texas
What do a hardware store owner, a painter, and the Bell family have in common? They all played a part in their town’s quirky history.
The Bells ran a hardware shop back in the 1930s. But, when they hired a painter to freshen up the store’s sign, things took a funny turn. The painter etched “Ding Dong,” as a play on the couple’s name, and the town’s been called Ding Dong ever since.
