I know more than a couple that were obsessed with going down there (wife included) until they went and saw how expensive everything was. To be honest I’d probably like them more if they weren’t hard core Baylor supporters. Seem like good people and he grew up in Grapevine/Colleyville

My wife went down as well and said the same thing regarding high costs. And the reality is, there are only so many farmhouse antique knick knacks one couple can find and sell in their store. She said it was mainly Chinese reproductions of things Joanna liked/used as decorations. And said it was so crowded you could barely move inside the store.
Wasn’t what she hoped it would be. But nothing in Waco ever is.

They also have a realty business that has expanded out to other cities in the 50 mile radius. It has really become a diversified empire. I suspect they will continue to do well. If the network takes off, they could become Oprah rich.
They seem like generally likable people.

Well, there is the old suspension bridge (which was still being used by cars in the early 1950s as part of US Hwy. 81)....

Wow, nearly fell to page 3.
Yes, I am aware of the irony of posting something making fun of them not being willing to let something go on a thread that has gone on for half a decade and has hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of views, but...
Damn, they just can't let this go. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Last time I tried to look behind a chest to see where it was made I got slapped.
Wonder if they will talk about the 5 year anniversary of them blowing a 20 point 4th quarter lead in the cotton bowl the day after we beat Ole Miss 42-3?

I'm sure the kicker would love to, but he's still eating out of a straw.

Didn’t Big Spring bring back some ghostly old hotel? Did that work out? Also remember Mineral Wells about to renovate some monolith place too, still going?

They did, Hotel Settles. Not sure how it’s working out...I guess ok since I believe it’s still open...definitely thought that was a weird business idea but whatever. I think the Mineral Wells one would be cool to see in its glory.

It’s called the “practice round.” And no. There are times I used to wonder what on earth I was thinking with that whole deal. And then I remember how unnecessary a manufactured product of that type would have been and think, “oh yeah...that had a lot to do with it.”
