The tumbleweed lamp is so cool.

These are the sort of cues that let you know Marfa is not your typical West Texas small town.

The Drive-In is run by Ballroom Marfa

The ratio of space dedicated to art in Marfa has got to be higher than almost anywhere else in the country. 

The only chain store in Marfa is an art project, by artists Elmgreen and Dragset. 

Prada Marfa is a mandatory photo stop. It's also technically not in Marfa.
