Everything is Bigger In Texas! Even the Frogs!
August 19th, 2008 categories: Community Events, Kids, Family & Personal Stuff
College Station Texas is a wonderful place to live with a variety of wildlife. This toad was found in the parking lot at the Home Depot on University Drive. Luckily, "Kermit" was rescued and taken to a heavenly pond in South College Station where he found more water and bugs and less asphalt and cars. In case you didn't know, 2008 is the Year of the Frog. This has because Frogs, Toads, Salamanders, newts, etc. are going extinct. Luckily, most amphibians in College Station, Texas have not been affected.
In looking for information as to what type of amphibian this was, I came across the Texas Parks and Wildlife"Frogs and Toads" Texas website. The best part about this site is that there is a section where you can click and hear the calls each Texas frog makes. If you live near water in Bryan, College Station, you are guaranteed to hear many of these calls in the evening.

Can Realtors help buyers with FSBO properties?

Sometimes I will introduce buyer clients to FSBO homes as well as homes listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).

Texas World Speedway in College Station
August 18th, 2008 categories: Community Events
College Station is absolutely packed full of exciting things to do.
One of the top things to do in College Station on my list is to try to make a Motorcycle Track day at Texas World Speedway. Willing speedsters can sign up for 3 levels of "classes" that allow participants to run "all out" on one of the best racetracks in the country. Lone star Track Days is one of the more popular hosts.
Similar activities are available for cars and even those cool Go cart things called Karts.
According to Texas World Speedway's Site:
"The historic Texas World Speedway is most established premier road Motorsports venue for Racing, Testing, Driving Schools, Corporate Events, and Film Shoots in the Southwest.
TWS is one of only seven Super Speedways in the USA and is the only Super Speedway in the Southwest. TWS's oval became known as "The World's Fastest Speedway"; when Mario Andretti set a world closed course speed record of 214.158 mph on October 6, 1973 while qualifying for an Indy car race.
TWS is located on approximately 400 acres with direct access to Highway 6 south of College Station,
