Local Living

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Guest post of the week by Nestor Nielsen

We have lived in the Frisco area for years. In fact, we had put roots there for many years before the housing market wave hit, flooding the area with homes and creating a bedroom community for this little area in Texas. The growth had been a positive one in a lot of ways. Our very own small business was profiting from the growth and I have met a lot of friends along the way who consider me a “local”. I am happy to offer advice when asked by customers just moving or considering moving into the area and are budgeting for their annual utilities. I refer a lot of them to direct energy standard rates for frisco to learn all the ways they can cut costs, and conserve energy. I also get asked who has the best coffee in town too and I have a list of spots I regularly visit. I’m proud to be living in an area celebrating community!

Our mailboxes

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

Oh boy ! Our mailboxes were run over by someone in the night, and now we have to replace them. We have a small community here with just a few streets and the mailboxes were CBU mailboxes. Now we have to shop for new ones and we have decided to split the cost among us, it is definitely cheaper that way for all involved, especially just after the Holidays. I have been looking around online for some, and seem to have found what we need.

The commercial mailboxes vary in size, however the company I am looking at custom makes them to order so we should be just fine. We will have a new Cluster Mailboxes by the first week of the new year and our mail will return to normal.

In the mean time, our mail lady is being very nice and delivering to our doors rather than make us pick up our mail from the post office. I really like our mail lady. She is so nice and friendly, and always helpful whenever we have a question and such. That is a very big change compared to the last mail man we had who was always rude and usually ignored us whenever we had a question. You never can tell about people now a days.
