When I was a kid in Texarkana I loved going to the old zoo that was located at Spring Lake Park. There were lions, monkeys, and more. I went looking for some old photos and found these.

I shared these on Facebook, and got tons of comments. One that jumped out at me, and I guess I never knew, but apparently if you threw cigarettes to the monkeys, they would smoke them. (???)

What memories do you have of the "Texarkana Zoo"? Comment below...
