Mexia Daily News -: "A longtime familiar site out on East Highway 84 has been the Bluebonnet Grocery. The folks there were best known for their hamburgers, but for other types of food, as well. Many people would go to the Bluebonnet 'for the atmosphere,' have a burger and visit and fellowship. Richard Palkin was the last proprietor of the Bluebonnet, and has promised to soon 'sit down for some talk,' which should make an interesting story forthcoming. We had to go ahead with the picture because it's virtually gone the way of the buffalo - nearly non-existent. But, suffice it to say, it was part of the 'Mexia cultural scene' for many years."
