Putting Up The Main Sign

 

It's hard to believe that just a year ago, this was all pasture land.  Off in the distance you see a crane, placing the main sign atop the posts along I-30, in Royse City; TX.

 

Here's a closer look at the new sign, and the large cranes putting it in place.  November is the projected month the new store will open.  Our town is so ready for the convenience.  I'm still waiting to see the gas pumps being installed for the USA Murphy's that's coming along with Walmart.  We won't need to drive all the way to Rockwall, TX to get decent groceries or cheaper car gas.

RANDOLPH Recognition Day

NATIONAL POW/MIA DAY..........

Here's What The People Think!

Some comments on the recent incident, where a teenager brought an object to school, which looked to be a bomb!
If you've been following the news about this incident, then you know the details.....

While it was a home made clock it was intentionally designed to look like a bomb. It was suspicious at best, and could have been an bomb. Teacher did the right thing and called police. Just because it was not a bomb, suddenly the liberals see him as a victim.

 Isn't praying on school property against the law? Oh, stupid me they're Muslims - like Killary, rules don't apply to them!

its OK, they can pray on school grounds, its the muslim cult, not christians......were they Christians the SWAT people along with the national guard would have been called out and Heraldo Riveria would be wringing his hands and taking selfies..The bigger question is where in the hell are the Athiests, the Freedom From Religion nuts, and ACLU? If this was a Christain group, they would be all over it.

 Ok kids, you are Americans and you need to start praying in or on school property since we pay taxes. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. We love praying too our God who is a real and living God and he want's wants to hear from us as well.

what is the prayer for? Pray for our soldiers and their families ,not some kid who the president admires as a muslim.
The Muslims barbarians can pray their hatred on school grounds but Christians cannot.
 will they stand with him when he brings a bomb to school and blows up the school? No muslims and no islam in this country.

 They're praying for Idiot Americans,REMAINING, IDIOTS. They know that NO Teacher,in their right mind will ever suspect a Muslim child of having a bomb again. The NEXT time.....POOF!
Please leave our country, stop thinking you are above our laws. Someone should sue them for praying on school property, they would if it was Christians.

This President does nothing When police are murdered but when a young man makes a bomb not a clock as usual the President can not call it what the item really is not a clock. So the next time some kid comes in with a clock and no one checks it and turns out to be a bomb and kills people what will the President say at that time. This President seems to pick out things that he thinks that will make him look good and the hell with protecting the American People. God forbid if any Christians have a pray on school property everyone would be up in arms.

Hiprocits no prayer in school remember. What/s going on here . even Obama aproves this, This could have been a real bomb. don/t bring anything that resembles a gun or bomb to school period, This boy is being praised instead of repremended,

Seriously - his "parents" let him bring that "contraption in a suitcase" to school. I think this is the parents fault or were the parents just trying to start trouble. I think the latter. What are they praying for????? It looked like a bomb and since it was a "clock", I'm sure it was ticking. Wow! I stand with Irving!

Prayer vigil? I pray to God that teachers, schools, law enforcement and others will continue to make the same decision in the future that they did here. What if this had been a bomb? Would we today be mourning yet another unimagineable tragedy and trying to convince ourselves that all Muslims are not like this? Probably. I'm sorry, but we can not endanger the masses to spare someone a few hurt feelings or inconvienience. I'm still not sure what exactly made this one boy's expierience worthy of an invite to the Whitehouse. Seems like there would be countless other actual heros more deserving of that honor. But then again, considering who occupies the Whitehouse, I could see someone decling the invitation.

It's Up

 

Here it is, all atop it's perch waiting for the rest of the construction to finalize.  I'm wondering what will happen to the local Royse City Pharmacy, downtown on Main St., when this store opens.  Then you also have the Walmart pharmacy to counter sales in the local buying area.  Small town for so many big name drug stores.  Time will tell how well this store fares in competition.

Walmart Sign

 

There is the first sign to be put up, but it's not the big one which will soar over the north side of I-30 at the front entrance of the building.

 

As you can see the front has many of the location signs for different departments mounted on the front of the building.

 

I understand that Walmart is already taking applications for jobs, before the store is ready to open in November.  In the foreground you see sodded grass being watered, so I am wondering where the USA Murphy's gas pumps, will be installed?  From the looks of things, it may be on the east side of the building near the entrance on Irby Campbell Blvd.

CVS Sign

 

Looks as though the new CVS store is well on it's way to completion and that's another addition to our fair town.  Royse City, TX is growing and there's no getting around it.  The new Mayor has been keeping us up to date on all the coming additions to the local area.  The small town I grew up in is now a whopping upscale busy locale.  Here you see the CVS sign being readied for lifting to it's position.

Down The Drain

 

We have been put under a water restriction because of the drought situation, and here you see water going down the drain.  Yet, our city is getting ready to hike our water bill another $12, which would bring our base bill of $63.49, up to $75.49.  This is a hard pill to swallow considering that our town already pays much higher prices from the North Texas Water District, than many other surrounding towns.  Now, what do you think the elderly and fixed income citizens are expected to do?

Rick Perry Drops Out

Once again Rick Perry, drops out of the Presidential race.  He has had a hard time getting his campaign going and this left him with no other decision to make. The longest running Texas Governor, who made waves against certain Presidential rulings, made his way back into the race this year, but not as strong as his recent bid, when Obama won.  It's too bad that he could make a go of it, because he certainly has some good ideas, that could have been lucrative to our nation's welfare.
Hats off to his gut grit and stamina, when fighting the sides of our Texas heritages.  Thanks to one that has made a difference here in our home State.  May he find a new way to enjoy going back into the local Texas life.
