Over our way, the Mormons are buying it all.
We also have huge solar panel farms all around us.

I hear there’s catfish at the dam big enough to swallow a person. Which lake? All of them. The underwater welders told me.

I remember these same sorts of rumors back in the 90s when I was a teenager. But the location was North Texas. Some people are so gullible. Maybe if you keep spreading that rumor, Microsoft will send you money!

Solar is coming in big. Lots of solar fields going up now....there is a big one in Knippa, one going in just west of Pearsall, two big fields outside Laredo, some big ones outside of McCamey, it’s not stopping.
Not sure which one I detest more, solar panels or wind turbines.
I would be pro-solar if instead of taking up good land they would put them on peoples rooftops....you know, the ones who are actually using the electricity.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Been hearing the same rumors about Disney buying 5500 acres Brinkman Ranch in Frisco for 15 years.

Never said I believed it. I remember early 80s Disney was going to buy the Sunset ranch by Lake Travis. It was also a rumor that Samsung was coming to Taylor.

That one is easy. Just visit the Cooke County area and see what lies and greed provides.
Pass the gravy.

Yeah, we heard the Disney thing many years ago in North Texas. Meh... True thing though on the solar fields - we have a big field under construction in western Brown County. It is proposed at 2,500 acres and they were asking the County for tax relief. The County said no, and most thought that killed the deal, but as I drove past a couple of weeks ago scouting dove, it looked like the project remains underway - guess they decided worth it even without County assistance.

Disney is usually more subtle. When they had the idea for Disney World and EPCOT they set up five or six shell companies and the shell companies started buying small parcels of land in the area. No one shell company bought contiguous land and the were always different sized properties. There were stories of lots of land being bought but there was no pattern or commonality.
Until the big announcement.

Great. More traffic on I-35 is just what we need.

Heard the same from a couple very reliable sources however they are saying #1) Disney only purchased 6000 acres, Solana kept the remainder #2) Disney paid $25,000/acre #3)They will build a Sun City style(not sure old folks) neighborhood.
These are the rumors that I am hearing. I also heard that someone went to the Salado school board mtg to let them know about 50K homes being built in Salado ISD.
I hear stuff all the time and I don't know what to believe, not even from these reliable resources.
I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.
