My New Car

 

My hubby bought me a new car, and I'm so enjoying it.........it's not new, but it's new to me.....and that's what matters.  If your looking for good service, and a great sales team, I offer you the guys at Barrett Motors, on Forest Ln, in Garland, TX.  They have other locations, but I dealt with Dario and Carlos, at this location.  Believe me, they made every effort to help me get this beauty.  I drove off with it, the very next day........and now it's sitting in my yard...... for more information  barrettmotors.com, or call:  972-475-1080, Sales Dept. and ask for Dario Heritage......he's the man with a deal.......!

Holiday's

Our town, is growing and so is the population.........it's gone through quite a change in a year's time.  Now, all the holiday events have taken place, with the Christmas parade, last weekend.  So, now Royse City, Tx, will start a new year, with all the trimmings.... :) !

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.

State Fair of Texas 2015

September is just around the corner and along with it comes the "State Fair of Texas" with our featured member, "BIG TEX".

Coming soon..............

This video is from 2012, just to give you some ideas of the fun, food and entertainment to be found there.

Progress in Royse City, TX

 

Looking ahead of us while taking the detour to the freeway, we can see the new bridge being developed.

 

As we are going down the street, we look to the right and see the excavation in full progress to build our coming Walmart and other businesses.

 

After standing here several years, taunting us, it finally has a real meaning.

 

Soon the tanks for gasoline will get installed for the "USA Murphy's"  gas stop and convenience store.  Finally some cheap gas that we won't have to drive all the way to Rockwall, TX to buy.

 

Me as well as the rest of the local residents are eagerly waiting for this to get build, so we can get decent groceries and other needed items at a decent price, without having to drive to other towns for these services.  It will also create new jobs for our community and give more volume to the resources of our town.

Waiting for the Bathroom

 

Here are some more pictures of the flea market trip and you can see how crowded it was.  One way in and one way out is very hard to accept when you need to get to the bathroom.

 

The men's bathrooms were moving faster, than the women's, so the men would get their business taken care of and stand around on the other side of the building waiting for their spouses and children to get their turns in the lady's rooms.  

 

It was almost like being at the "State Fair of Texas", with all the people standing in line for the bathrooms.  One thing we noticed, when going through the market, is how commercialized it the stalls were becoming, since the last time we were here.  I looked for the plant stall and it wasn't there this time.

I really wanted to pick up some new plants, especially some aloe vera, which you can usually find there.  Pepper plants are available for the Mexican people to purchase and use for cooking and condiments.  But I didn't see very many of them this trip either.  I'm sure as the spring progresses, these plant stalls, will become more available.

Coming Improvements

Our Mayor has listed several businesses that will be coming to our fair city in the next few months.  It seems that along with the new bridge, we will get our long awaited WalMart, that's been in the quotes for several years.  They have finally broke ground and are getting the excavation in gear for the store and parking lot.  There's word of a CVS along with a USA Murphy's, Charlie's Hamburgers and to housing divisions coming to our fair town.  I guess Royse City, TX is going to grow some more?

Not Yet!

 

I've been watching this sign and land for the last 4 years and still no Wal Mart!

 

Before I moved out here Royse City, TX in 2011 the sign was posted on this property on I-30 W. surface road near Royse City, TX.  The road work on I-30 has been started but the City & County Codes, must be holding back progress on the shopping center needed to locate the Wal Mart store?  I wish we could get this developed and stop the traveling to Rockwall, TX to shop for needed groceries and supplies.  Come Royse City, TX, get the ball rolling on this, we've (your citizens) waited long enough and you are loosing needed revenue for our town.

TX State Fair

Coming soon..............

Back When

 This was a lumber yard back here in Royse City, TX,  several years ago.

 I'm trying to get my feeble brain to remember the name of the lumber yard, but it escapes me.  If you are old enough to remember, please update my old brain.
