What was cool was that I didn’t even notice before about the building to the right of the Sad Texan. Jen wrote:

Hehe, kind of funny. Well, I guess I was trying to get a little too cute with the word clues. “White House” which is “Casa Blanca” in Spanish, which is a lake in Texas, which is close to Laredo where the Sad Texan lives. After all “White House” has too many connotations… but I didn’t want people to just type in “Casa Blanca Texas” because I believe that takes you too close to the answer. But some people didn’t even need the clue. Jason C. says:
… I don’t get what the clue “white House” has to do with it but I looked around the metro areas(dallas, austin, houston, san antonio) before thinking where would alot of people wait in line to go through when it occurred to me it might be a border crossing station, and wham I found it at the first place I checked after that which just happened to be Laredo.
About what the sad face is, Colin P. writes:
An unhappy border crossing.
And that pretty much looks like what it is… border crossing station buildings between the U.S and Mexico. I guess they shaped it like a sad face to discourage illegal crossings? The right side lane is completely clogged but the left is open…
