Stansbury got the town council to designate "downtown" Taylor as a historic district, which meant a ban on the public consumption of alcohol. The group even persuaded the Texas National Guard to bulldoze 48 worn-out buildings near the railroad tracks that had become weekend squats for drug dealers and their customers, who used to come in by car and train. Taylor these days is more like it used to be. "I can sit on my porch anytime now,'' says Mae Willie Turner...
