Four stone landmarks were leveled by the vandals in the early hours of February 19th. The stones were 125 years old. The workers of the Starlight Theatre Restaurant & Bar didn't notice anything when they left the night before, but noticed that the structures were knocked down when they returned to work the next morning. The ghost town supports dozens of local businesses, and those structures were a big draw for tourists. Terlingua is just outside of Big Bend National Park and is known for it's Chili Cook-Off. Also, it's star friendly sky. No city lights can really help bring the stars out at night.
