that would be awesome and i'm sure my grandmother would like to see it as well. to this day she talk's about the stone griffins and how i guess Laurence Welk used to play for my great, great, grandfather in his big dining hall. Also does anyone know about John Guitars children....my great grandmother was one of his daughters name Laura Guitar i believe

i know i might be barkin up the wrong treel. But i am curious as to why i am having such a hard time finding information on John Guitar. By the way my grandmother talks you'd think he was a big as Rockafeller but i am having the hardest time finding out anything on him

moving myself in may....any golf course communities or lakehouses? Would like to live in the "hilliest" area myself!

[JamesAbilene]

The Fairway Oaks subdivision in South Abilene is built around a golf course/country club. Beautiful area with lots of McMansions. Lytle Shores is an older nice part of town built around Lytle Lake. South of town, toward Buffalo Gap, is hillier. There is a street going from Highwy 89 to Highway 83/84 called Belle Plain Road--between Abilene and Buffalo Gap. Some of the homes on the north side of the street are built on the edge of the "mountain" and have fantastic city views.

I'm confused about "posting" here? How did the post today find the "last" post on here that was dated way back on April 3, 2008? How did you pull up so many posts that go back 2 years? New to this. Thanks

Heh, I didn't even know there was a Frito Lay plant here so I can't be of any help.
