We were in McKinney this morning meeting with a past client. As we drove up US75, we suddenly had a hankering (it’s a Texas thing) for a Culver’s pot roast sandwich. As we exited, we noted the store was already closed. We are friends with Jim Kuntz, the owner, and we knew he was opening a new location on Eldorado Parkway so we drove over there to see if the new location was open.
The windows were still covered but we saw his car in the lot. I stuck my head in the front door hoping to say “hello” only to find Jim and his staff training for the Grand Reopening on Monday, February 20th. We were invited in to have lunch. No pot roast, but I had a tasty prime rib sandwich, onion rings, and a serving of custard. Yummy!
  
The new store looks great. It has a nice upscale look that compliments the upscale food and desserts that they serve. Culver’s reopens on February 20th so make sure to stop by and try out their new location.

Gina and I recently attended the RE/MAX of Texas Convention in Galveston. While we spent 3 busy conference days, we were able to relax a little on day 4 before driving back to Dallas.
We met up with Mark Stroeh and his wife on Sunday to enjoy a nice meal in the area and catch up. Mark and I go back to the 1980’s when we were both in the United States Air Force and stationed at Carswell AFB in Fort Worth. Mark suggested we try Jimmy’s On The Pier for lunch.
  
Jimmy’s is a cool little place located above the gift shop on one of the fishing piers on the Galveston seawall. The morning air was cool so we elected not to sit on the balcony. Had the weather been a bit warmer, I could see sitting outside enjoying the feel of the sun on my face and the breeze in my hair.
The food was tasty and the company was great! You really want to stop by and check out Jimmy’s the next time you’re in Galveston. For more information visit http://galvestonfishingpier.com/.

Finally! Ashton Woods has broken ground in The Preserve in Allen. I was out visiting the site over the weekend and found the two model homes are well on their way to being completed. I also noted the lake is filled and the fountain is operating.
There are two model homes under construction near the west side enterance. While I did not speak to the sales staff, I suspect they will be open in late March 2012.
I understand that presales have been going well with about 12 homes already under contract.

I was out speaking with some buyers yesterday and they were talking about living in Allen in a home on a golf course. Allen has lots to offer but the only golf course within the city is Twin Creeks.
Located in west Allen, Twin Creeks is a wonderful master planned community. The 18 Hole championship course was designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer who wrote, “The Golf Club at Twin Creeks could be one of the best courses in the State of Texas, and the most peaceful 18-hole course I have ever designed. The golf course is of a traditional nature and is very much in harmony with the natural landscape.”
According to the course website:
The Golf Club at Twin Creeks offers an award-winning golf course that winds its way around two natural, free-flowing, tree-lined creeks. Known for its “peaceful” setting and as one of the most naturally preserved golf courses in the state, Twin Creeks has become a favorite of Collin County.
