Pound Town? Dripping Springs locals seek town name change

Love it or hate it, few have been able to avoid an idea crafted by two Dripping Springs’ natives that’s gone from coast-to-coast and perhaps even a late-night talk show or two. 

Whether or not the attempt to change Dripping Springs to Pound Town comes to fruition, or is entirely serious, both Daniel McCarthy and Micah Archer enjoy bringing the national stage, and perhaps a discussion, to their small Central Texas town.

“We enjoy the response to it,” McCarthy said. “I guess we were being a little controversial. Anytime you try to change the town name of 160-something years, people are going to have some qualms about it.”
