They mentioned that and said that they are doing a study on 1604 regarding traffic situations in the area.

I heard that, too. Given that the quote came from a spokesperson for the RMA, I'll wager that the study's "solution" will involve tolls.

Welcome to the crew! I spent many summers and holidays in Kerrville growing up. It was so different then....much more small town. We loved to walk to the hospital and the big thing was to go up and look at the newborns.
Also went to Kriders on the river a lot, spent time at the ranch, BBQed and swam in the river. Really a whole lot of nothing with fantastic memories. Isn't it great that memories can be made without much of anything but good company? I'd love to know what all is going in in Kerrville now. The few times I've been there it still seems charming but enough growth to offer so much for visitors. The downtown area is so pretty now. My favorite part is that back road drive to Bandera. GREAT scenery. Maybe we'll plan a meet and greet soon!

Thanks for the welcome. All I know of Kerrville is my daughter-en-law and son live there and they like it, I have never been there. From what they say it still has that small town charm, but I am sure it's grown much since you used to visit....maybe you will have to plan a trip there to see.

it is only morning for those that choose to sleep when it's dark out
I consider this my evening time and I just ate dinner.

This is true. And lately it has been my evening too.....because I can't sleep! 3 hours a night isn't cutting it for me

How big will the NW side of SA be then? We almost moved to Corpus Christi, but decided against it. I just couldn't decide if that's where I wanted to be.

But, on the other hand, whenever I fly over Texas, I see vast and vast amounts of land uninhabited....and it puts it in perspective for me: There is still a LOT of land out there. Despite the cities being so dense, I think it's actually better for the environment as it keeps the majority of people in a single area, rather than spread all out over the state.

Nice.....I am not kidding. That looks like 1604 in the late 60's (although a different car!) My dad was working at Randolph and almost bought a house out in Hollywood Park back then when it was being developed. We drove that 1604 to Randolph trip many times while looking at houses. They finally opted against it because they thought it was too far! Sniff....

Sounds like my Grandparents, My Grandfather was teaching at SAC after retiring from FT. Sam in the mid 70's, they looked at Windcrest, and decided it was too far out and bought in the '09 instead.

That's why I always say....it's never really too far. It's ony a matter of time before a Walmart/HEB, etc is built near by a place that is "too far". That's all it takes, really. Look what's happening to I-10. Soon you won't need to go within the city limits for anything other than concerts and the like.

Just wanted to update...we found a house, our offer was accepted, and we close on Oct 30! Very exciting! We chose a home in Westover Hills. We love the area and really are excited about the school for our daughter with autism. She will thrive there for sure!
