Boston Nick, Ben and Tony

9/19/20261 min read

You asked, and we finally delivered! On this highly anticipated episode of the Hey Elgin!! podcast, Tony, Boston Nick, and Ben sit down with a true downtown legend: David L. Smith. As the owner of David L.Smith:A Gallery and the longest-running retail store owner in downtown Elgin, David is a cornerstone of our local community. He is also the publisher of the Elgin Texas Thunderbird News, bringing a wealth of local history, art, and unique perspectives to the mic.

We dive deep into David’s fascinating personal history, trading stories about his extensive travels over the years and the winding road that ultimately led him to settle down and plant roots right here in our town. Plus, we take a detour into the universal language of music and, true to the Hey Elgin!! spirit, explore a little bit of "the weird."

Whether you have been visiting his gallery for years or are just learning about his incredible impact on our community, this conversation went off without a hitch and is an absolute must-listen.

Listen now, and as always, keep it local and keep it weird!
