Tax free holiday begins today across State Line Avenue

Texarkana's tax-free weekend began at 12:01 a.m. this morning -- Texas-side only, of course. The Texarkana Gazette editorializes about the tax free "back to school" holiday. It's big business down here -- the interstate access roads normally become parking lots after the shopping and strip mall parking lots fill up. It'll be interesting to see how the retailers do this year.
