Historical Society Aims to Open Museum • This Puts the ‘Farm’ in Blackberry Farm • Plan for Fry’s Site Gets Short-Circuited • A Lifelong Love Affair With Soccer
Dan, this was an exceptional article! Great reporting, interesting subjects, and I always love your humorous tidbits! 😆
“Black Berry Farms”. A sore subject. And now, hearing that an occupied Bald Eagle’s nest was located while clearing trees for its development makes me heartsick! Do you know how big bald eagle’s nest are! Thankful for protection laws! Holmes was our direct neighbor for years until his kids graduated several years ago- he built the 13 homes on the 5 acres (that kept a handful of cows) directly across from us years ago. Nice family. Nothing personal, but it just pains me to see every square inch of Coppell developed. All of North Texas is booming. It’s just mind-blowing when you really think about it. 🤯 Just this weekend I mentioned the Rebel Twin drive-in to my teens- where we would go watch movies when I was a young (W. Beltline Rd. somewhere between Coppell & Carrollton).
I beg the city not to waste more money on something that is not a full-time job nor has the interest or demand.
We’ve seen how our City Council and the City Manager’s office can waste Million$ of dollars as they did on a Life Safety Center that takes hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to operate, maintain & staff and cost over $8 million !!! and yet receives so little traffic. We could’ve rented limousines and taken every Coppell school child to the Dallas life safety center for the next 20 years and come out with ahead financially.
Sadly citizens have no idea how Coppell waste millions and millions of our tax dollars an state funds on numerous frivolous projects.
I hope the museum gets all the support it needs to be a success! The museum will give Coppell and anchor and help it feel more like an established community! Knowing our history is always important. Thank you again for all your news about our community!
