COLLEGE STATION Texas FAMILY FRIENDLY – Are you SURE?
August 31st, 2010 categories: Community Events
College Station Texas is Family Friendly? That is what the RECON Report 8/31/2010 says! I agree! COLLEGE STATION – College Station was the only city in Texas to make Kiplinger’s list of top ten great cities for raising families. The findings were based on job growth, healthy economies and vibrant local culture. Additional information such as areas already filled with families with children, quality of public schools, low crime rates, and amount of parks and recreation were then taken into consideration. “Great public schools and low crime are not the only draws of this small Texas city," said Kiplinger. "College Station has also seen steady wage growth and a low unemployment (more...)| Discussion: Your Comments Please »

SoCo at 32nd And Main
August 4th, 2010 categories: Community Events, Kids, Family & Personal Stuff, Restaurants & Fun
BRYAN, TX -- The eclectic South Congress (SoCo)shopping district has come to 32nd Street and South Main in Bryan!! Vintage Rose held its grand opening July 24th. Proprietress Rosemary Rodriguez can boast the most pollos (that's chickens for you gringos) under one roof in the Brazos Valley. She's collected great Mid-Century furniture, retro clothing, and other fun decor. Down the street there are the BV Decorative Center at 401 S Main, Earth Art at 209 S Main, Southern Grace Antiques at 102 S Main, and waaaay too many more great stops to mention. Really you need to go get in your car and shop it! We're talking about a 15 minute trip downtown as opposed to 2 hours to Austin or 9 hours to New Orleans. Get the full SoCo experience when you attend a First Friday (one coming up this Friday August 6th). Sometimes I even pick up a New Orleans vibe, as I walk down the street with others, smelling the great food, hearing the music pouring out from Stafford Main or Revolution Cafe. Who would have thought the City of Bryan would draw this funky urban artsy crowd?!? (more...)| Discussion: 1 Comment »
Alternative Homebuyer Incentives – FREE Money!!!
July 15th, 2010 categories: Community Events
BRYAN, TX -- The now-expired homebuyer tax credit was a creative impetus for this spring's real estate market. Even though this program has terminated, there are many other opportunities for buyers seeking discounts on home sales. The website TxHomeProgram.com shows a HUGE list of ideas that make the purchase of a home a reality. Some of the measures are based on income while others focus on location. The one in Brazos County, for example, is a downpayment assistance plan for lower-income families. A chart shows you how much income qualifies for a household of a certain size. In North Texas, the City of Dallas Mortgage Assistance is for first-time homebuyers only. There is also a program search tool which will ask you questions about your financial status, how many people in your home, where you want to live, etc. It will compile a list of programs for which you qualify. Additionally, interest rates are extremely low right now. Like Clay Lee said in his post from June 29th, (more...)| Discussion: Your Comments Please »
