Cedar Park in Family Circle Magazine (Austin, Pflugerville: real estate, condos, houses)

[ausken]

I own a small restaurant in NW Austin near Cedar Park and just had a meeting with the CP Chamber of Commerce. The board member told me that Cedar Park will be named in the next issue of Family Circle as the #1 place to live in the United States. Does anyone have any imput on this? What you y'all think?

I'm starting to think alot of the press about Austin is influenced by the need of real estate developers to attarct people to the area to buy the houses or condos they built.

I'm kind of glad it's Cedar Park that's number one....every time Austin is number one traffic gets a little worse!

Can Cedar Park take more traffic is the question. The ingress and egress to and from the city are bad enough as it is even with the toll road. The board member told me that right now they are at an approximate population of around 50k and based on being just about land locked they can hold a pop of about 95k. That seems like an awful lot of people in a small town with only three ways out (183, 2243, 1431).

Great if you want to wall your kids in a subdivision behind a highway access road. I suppose it's safe.

Wall m'kid in??? Hon', it's a SUBDIVISION, not a COFFIN. LOL!

Fact is, I'd live in a cardboard hut ON the highway access road for our public schools... and for my son being able to swim, play golf, ride horses and motorbikes and shoot both his bow & guns w/in 5-10 minutes of our nasty ol' "walled in subdivision" that has great green space, loads of recreational amenities and terrific people.

Oh, where can you shoot guns next to a subdvision in the Austin suburbs? Other than a firing range, that is....

And the billboards put up during SXSW saying

We Love Austin... Don't Move Here!

don't seem to be working. Darn!

Yeppers, we go to Eagle Peak Shooting Range... 20026 Lindeman Ln, Leander, TX 78641... (512) 267-1400.

I've heard there's a place in Pflugerville called Red's, but we haven't been there yet.

And there's an indoor range (Archery Country) (good for our "winter weeks"... LOL!) for bows at Archery Country, as well as a Junior Olympic Archery Development classes.
