Old Town Spring celebrates the holidays

Last Saturday I attended the 28th annual Old Town Spring’s “Home for the Holidays” celebration. I don’t know whether it was because it was a gorgeous sunny day with a high temperature of 80 degrees or people were ready to get into a holiday mood but whatever the reason there were a lot of people in Old Town Spring for the opening […]

HEB at FM 2920 and Spring Cypress now OPEN!!

As I pulled into the parking lot to attend the opening of HEB’s Spring Market, I suddenly realized I was not alone. Apparently my Spring Texas neighbors were just as anxious as I was to shop at HEB’s newest store. For a brief moment, I thought about turning around and going back home. But the moment quickly passed because after […]

$Chuy's TEX MEX Restaurant$

Who has the best Mexican food in Spring Texas?

I have heard that to true purists there is a difference between Mexican and Tex/Mex food, but this Gringo certainly does not know what it is.

Where to take your dog for a walk

Did you know that 39% of households own a dog? I certainly didn’t. But the large number explains why I have been finding that more and more of my home buyers are dog owners. I have also discovered dog owners have different house hunting criteria than non-dog owners. Dog owners want a home’s flooring to be either tile […]

Who has the lowest prices on groceries?

One of the things I like about living in Spring Texas is the convenience. In this case, it is the convenience of having numerous grocery stores nearby. Located within 15 minutes of my home are a Walmart Supercenter, Kroger, HEB, Randalls, and a Super Target. A great selection of stores to choose from to do my grocery shopping. […]

Where to get fresh locally grown produce

One of the things I like best about Summer is eating home-grown fresh from the farm tomatoes. The tomatoes are nice and juicy, full of flavor, and taste just the way tomatoes should taste. But since my parents live in Illinois and not Spring Texas, I can’t quickly stop by and swipe a few tomatoes from their garden for […]
