TEXAS THANG.........

It's a Texas "thang".......so we, say.......and rightly proud at that!  The way we talk, walk, eat, live and breath........all Texas style!  Yes, we brag and most of the time we can back it up!  It's our Texas, where we live, and grew up.  Where we make our life and move forward with our country ways, that we all consider true Texas values.  Our Stetson cowboy hats, cowboy boots, Levi jeans, western shirts and don't forget our Texas BBQ's!  We could go on and on about the things that make up the Texas Thang, but you'd get tired of our bragging and go get your own, Texas way of life.  That's just the way it is, here in TEXAS! 

Almost Finished

Back when Walmart first opened, I was put out with the fact that the USA Murphy's gas station hadn't been built along with it.  They told me that it was coming, but they weren't sure when.

 

Well, it's almost finished and in a week or so, we will have the convenience of being able to get most of our shopping done here in town.  Those who drive to work every morning will be able to fill up and hit the freeway in a matter of minutes.

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.

Almost Ready

As you can see the site construction office is in front of the main building.  

 

Here we have a different view of the front and it looks as though it will be facing the south, towards Interstate 30, where new bridges are also being built.  The space here in the foreground is being excavated and I can't tell whether it's for the USA Murphy's gas pumps or another business?

WalMart Sign

 

Here we have the posts already in place for the big Walmart sign to be installed.  You know, it's one of those big signs you see along the interstate highways, letting you know where there's a Walmart store?  Ours is almost ready and they will be opening it in November of this year.
