The neighborhood feels tied into the rhythm of central Seguin, with familiar local stops within a short drive in nearly every direction. When friends are in town, residents often point them toward the Texas Theatre for a classic night out, then end up at The Backyard Seguin or Double G Sports Bar depending on the mood.
