Here goes, let's see if this works


I'll start off w/ my favorite place, the new mall

[Adream]

What great pix & beautiful BLUE sky! Is your area Dallas/Ft. Worth? I'm impressed!

[momof2dfw]

Across 190 from the mall is a Lowe's and a Home Depot for all of you guys to go after you drop your wife off at the mall.




More of the Firewheel Town Center Mall









Downtown Garland



We still have a feed store. LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! Kids love going there too.


New home being built in downtown Garland


I love this house.


This is another beauty in downtown Garland


Some area residents were out this morning. The old farmhouse is still there and lived in. Downtown Garland.


The Special Events Center owned by the school district. All of the high school graduations are now held here. Even for most of the area cities too.

This is the Firewheel Golf Course and some homes that back up to it in The Retreat.


Looking out to the Golf Course.

North Garland Ave going towards 190 from Arapaho Rd




Soccer fields at N. Garland Ave & Arapaho


Hawaiian Falls Waterpark on N. Garland Ave - across from soccer fields.
In the background all of the trees are part of the Spring Creek Preserve. The rooftops you see closest are the one set of apartments in that area. Beyond is 190 and SuperTarget, SuperWalmart, etc
This is on N. Garland Ave coming the other direction from Richardson (fyi, in Richardson the street changes names to Northstar)


Traveling on Northstar in Richardson towards Renner coming up to Stinson Elem.




Renner Rd in Richardson




Near the intersection of Renner and Murphy


From the Breckenridge Park area looking west towards 75


Breckinridge Park


N. Garland Ave going towards Richardson. See the white fence on the left side of the road? That entire area on that side belongs to the Holford Ranch. It will never be developed.


Holford




Looking west from 190 towards Richardson. Most of that area is part of the Spring Creek Preserve


Heading north on 75-Central in Richardson coming up to the Bush Turnpike/190


These were taken about 9 in the morning this week. All that traffic going south

[momof2dfw]

Here are a few from I-30 in Rockwall and Lake Ray Hubbard

coming into Rockwall on 30 from Garland


Hwy 205 & Hwy 276 (about 50' from I-30 ). Straight ahead on 205 will take you to McClendon-Chisholm, turn left onto 276 and head to Quinlan.


Looking into Rockwall from I-30 coming from Royce City


Going west on I-30 coming out of Rockwall and over Lake Ray Hubbard. Yes, that is the the Downtown Dallas skyline in the background.


All these years and this was THE FIRST TIME EVER that I have seen a train on that track. LOL!!!


Coming back into Garland on Rowlett Rd from Rowlett. Whew, made it home....

Now for some pics of the lake in Tawakoni.

[momof2dfw]

This is so sad. A lake w/ no water


This is Hwy 276 coming out of Rockwall going towards Quinlan. All of you that want a lot of land/large lot but not for a lot of $$$, head this way. There are TONS of developments along here.


Downtown Quinlan


They must of hit the big time as Quinlan is getting a new SuperWalmart. Supposed to open later this month. As long as the Dairy Queen does not shut down.


Coming into the big town of West Tawakoni. More beer/liquor stores than there are people.


The Tawakoni Golf Club








Don't blink, it's East Tawakoni


Yes folks, all that USED to be covered in water. The smoothest water on the lake. Best place to waterski. Never crowded.
