Ding Dong Bell and Town Named for Pictorial Humor
A Texas Bell County tale outlines how Ding Dong earned its name from a farmer-artist sign showing two bells with a large Ding Dong between them. The Santa Fe Railway donated the bell, later formally presented to Calvary Baptist Church in a ceremony attended by Rev. Grant Townsends and local residents. Texans Wind Up in the Hole reports Houston Harris County officials study stadium costs for the doomed project, noting $13.4 million funding shortfall and nearly $2 million already spent digging the site for a planned Houston Colts stadium.
