At the monthly meeting of the Dripping Springs Women's Club we got the latest on what's happening in our area. I've included some maps - click on the picture for a bigger view - to kind of show what is planned. The speaker mentioned that our McDonalds will be very upscale - it's a prototype of what McD's can be - and that there just might be a golf course/resort in the works at the junction of 150 and 12. We also discussed the upcoming HEB - as much as 2 years out - and a Sleep Inn over near Hays County Access road. In addition, there is a plan in the forming stages about turning Mercer street into a walk zone and building walkways connecting other areas such as the Super S building area and the new shopping center where Great Nails is not locates - behind the McDonalds. About that new center - watch for the upcoming Asian restaurant! Flores restaurant will be open soon, on 290 toward Austin.
Also reported, Home Depot says they are experiencing 33% higher profits than they projected, and the Ace Hardware owners claim that they closed down because of other reasons, not because of competition from Home Depot. Dripping Springs Hardware building will soon be an antique store and office space.

I drive to Wimberley just to go to Ace. It's a cool store and they have people who can help you and are knowledgeable. I like that.
I am going to miss Carol and her group at the DS Ace store. Such nice people and such nice things
in their gift department.
Sigh!
