From Texas. I feel that the article is trying to describe a Texan perspective of this disaster, reconciling the reality of the criminal negligence and death with the very heavy nostalgia and romance most Texans have for the New Braunfels park, pretty much synonymous with childhood for many of us.
It is, unfortunately, on a side-road in Corsicana, TX, which is not exactly a tourist draw. The neighborhood, while perfectly fine, would tend to scare off people who weren't used to industrial areas.
