.... the other 98% of it is uncontrolled growth and sprawl filled with walmarts, targets, best buys, home depots, strip centers, outlets, gas stations, walgreens, cookie cutter houses and streets that don't seem to fit together. It left this Houstonian with wonder and awe. Finally, I found an area that put Houston to shame.

However, I was able to find its very small heart, still beating (barely).

For some reason, my last comment didn't show up. Thanks for posting these. Nice pics of the houses around downtown. I see these every time I go to the library

Dell is in the other 98% where the sprawl and big boxes are.
Those pictures represent the real Round Rock.
Everytime I go there I try to imagine what it was like way back when.

Sadly that's a part of Round Rock so hidden and tucked out of the way.

For the first two years I lived here in Texas it was in Round Rock in that part of the city. I loved it there. My son was only 5 and always wanted to drive by to see the round rock of Round Rock.

I almost took a job at Dell, after I got my Net Working Credentials, now I am kicking myself in the butt for not doing it, and going to Seattle and working for GO2.net, now defunct.
