In answer to a question early in the video, it was Mrs. Bill Darrough who named the town after Victor Hugo. He was her favorite author.

Hugo is a large source of conversation on my group. My mother and my dad's best friend grew up there. I went frequently, but was always slightly wary because of the veiled suspicion of the residents. The events that happened: escaping circus animals, arson, shooting at Walmart, Ed Kaiser shooting Todd Whatley, and general malaise were concerning. There were encouraging aspects: the train depot, Aonsley Park, Rose Holl. My. Olivet Cemetery. Erie Theatre, circus Drive-In Dairy Queen and the community pool on the extreme west end, close to the cattle pens. For better or worse, my life has been influenced by experiences that I had here. .

I got a bunch of cousins in Hugo. Haven't been there since I was teen. Great Grandmother was from around there. Didn't know Hugo used to be kind of a rough place back in the day.

Unfortunately, there is not an Aldi in Hugo. It is in Paris, TX which is 30 minutes away, not 9 minutes. Also, you managed to find the extreme end of home pricing in Hugo. There are multiple homes in the $100k range or cheaper in the town itself.

My little Hometown

[@notoes5443]

Paris Texas is more than 8 minutes. It's 40 minutes in an ambulance. I use to live there. Left because of sketchy law enforcement.

[@SuperOzarkian]

Umm. Hugo is about 20 minutes from Paris, Tx. Paris is 25 miles away.

[@vikingshelm]

Anyone know if anything ever came of that Hugo Circus Museum?

[@ChicagoEMS]

The background music drowns out the narration. A little heave with the memes. Hope this helps. Thanks for posting.

Selling my house now, town got potential but powers that be really holding the town down

[@johnchristopher6730]

Moving to Hugo isn't a good idea

[@notoes5443]

Law enforcement use to be sketchy until they got rid of the Potts bros.
