Good Evening TXK

After 25 long years of living under the rule of Mom’s regime, with a brief (glorious) stint in an apartment with walls thinner than my patience, I have officially been crowned king of my own castle. And not only that, but this castle is the house I grew up in, my childhood home. It’s my very own full-circle moment. … This house is where I grew up eating Eggo waffles before school, watching Britney Spears on Good Morning America, brushing my Justin Bieber hair for hours, and walking around with my phone incessantly filming all my family members like a documentarian. And now it’s mine.

Friday Night Lights 2025

Friday Night Lights in Texarkana are hard to beat—just like the old days. The glow from Tiger Stadium, Razorback Stadium, Harris Field, and Hawk Stadium signals more than a football game. It’s the kind of tradition that never fades. Friends, families, and classmates show up in school colors, filling the stands with energy and hometown pride. From the band’s halftime tunes to the cheerleaders and drill teams, it is about more than the score. It’s about community spirit.

Good Evening TXK

There are few milestones in life that hit harder in high school, emotionally and, in my case, literally (you’ll understand why soon) than getting your first car. You clutch your learner’s permit like a golden ticket, praying Driver’s Ed taught you enough not to take out the neighbor’s mailbox. (For the record, I did not. I almost did. But I didn’t. I just took out bumpers. Plural.) … My first car was a blue Nissan Rogue named Blue Ivy. I was 17 and maybe a bit dramatic, but Blue Ivy was so much more than just a car to me. She meant freedom. Power.

Lines, Lures, and Luck

They sit in the dark, claiming their coveted spot, with only the man in the moon reflecting off the water and the croak of frogs for company. They wait for the sun to peek over the horizon—the signal that their dance of lines, lures, and luck can begin. They will cast in the cold, the rain, the dark, or the heat—no matter the weather, no matter the cost.

Good Evening TXK

I don’t fish. That’s probably the most important thing to get out of the way before I introduce you to my new stepdad. … His name is John Cox. He married my mom on May 22, 2025, and before I even had time to overthink it as I usually do, our family tree gained a new branch. A stable one. A gentle one. A drives a truck, works with his hands, goes fishing to decompress kind of branch. Basically, the polar opposite of me.

Photos by Molly Kendrick and Matt Cornelius

Every month, when a new issue of Texarkana Magazine hits the stands, I hear the same thing… … “Bailey, the article was great—but that picture, though!” Hey… fair enough! I mean, have you seen the photos? … Each month, I get to work with the one and only Matt Cornelius, who is equal parts photographer and magician. Somehow, every single time, we walk away with a photo that is fun, bold, and completely different from the month before.

Adding Value

There is something magical about a baseball game on a warm spring night, the kind that stretches into the heat of a Texas summer. The crack of the bat followed by the whoosh of a fastball and then the unmistakable pop as it meets the catcher’s mitt.

Good Evening TXK

Every April, nostalgia is in the air with the smell of funnel cakes and fried everything floating on the winds of Texarkana. The Four States Fair and Rodeo rolls into town, bringing with it neon lights, screaming kids, and at least one friend who swears they can handle the spinning rides but will, inevitably, prove otherwise. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the fair, and for me, that number is more than just a milestone. The fair is a reminder of time itself, of how it moves, how it shifts, and how it never stops for anyone. … Growing up, the fair was an event… a tradition.

Good Evening TXK March 2025

I thought Facebook would go back to normal. … Naively, foolishly, dreamily—whatever you want to call it—I thought after November, we would be done. The discourse would simmer down, and my feed would return to what it was meant to be—blurry pictures of someone’s grandma’s dog, engagement announcements, and those deeply satisfying slime videos that keep me up at night. Instead, it’s like someone poured gasoline on the internet and handed out lighters.
