I will never claim to be the brightest of people and be vocally and spelling profiecent. But what I can say is that what drove me to Anna was the sheer small town white picket fence atmosphere. But to make a long story short. I came from a small town called Pickerington Ohio. As I grew up it was extremely small. Five stop lights, two schools, and my neighborhood did not have another one around it for 3 miles. I am 32 now and well, that small town is not so small anymore. In fact it was not small anymore by the time I left it at 19. But I welcomed the change because of the way they developed into it. The town expanded, the feeling did not. Anna has the prime ability at the moment to provide the same kind of atmosphere with it's sheer amount of land. There is a big difference between turning a small town into a much larger small town such as Upstate NewYork and the surrounding areas. And turning it into New york City itself. As long as we don't expand the town's development into a "anyone and anything" atmosphere. Then we should be ok, and will in fact make the area much richer. Businesses paying taxes to help out with development. Better paying jobs, or even more convient locally addressed jobs. For people like me, who do not have the option to drive to McKinney or Sherman for work. The sheer fact is that expansion at this time would in fact solve alot of the economic problems our community faces, as well as it's governing body.

The owner has started doing karaoke on weekends, replacing our favorite band. A real shame because live music beats karaoke any day. Just visited Circle V and was very disappointed.

(sent from the utility company) Who has given the city of Anna the right to change numbers on a bills. Sure the utility company will say, it's a mistake! If it's a mistake the residents of Anna, seems to be paying for it. How hard is it , for me to request and want the correct AMR off my meter, from day 1. If the city of Anna cannot give me the correct data, So be it. The city of Anna should issue me a refund, for anything over 2000 gallons. and unlock all meters or give all the residents a sewer key. (don't change my meter) According to Master Meters and The city of Fort Worth, the city of Anna could have sent my meter in to have it repaired, since July 2007. In Jesus Name Be Blessed Dear Mr. Driskell

The rib joint in Van Alstyne is okay, but sometimes tastes like the food has been sitting around on the buffet a little too long. At C & O, you can watch the owner slice your meal fresh everytime. The staff is very attentive and friendly and (if I still have room) their buttermilk pie ROCKS!!! I LOVE Cackle & Oink!!

We'll be going back soon. We had enchilladas and they were very good - also they make a good margarita too. They have a live band and they were the best I've heard in this whole area. Real good old-time country music. The owner (think his name Jesse) told me they play 1st and 3rd Sat every month. They are worth the trip to hear. We saw the article and went last night (5th July).

I appreciate your hard work in creating a great Anna info site but if people end up finding the online forum from this it might immediately change their opinion of your hard work. Seperately I think they all have their own goals but combined it hurts the effectiveness of this site. Imagine a stranger seeing how great this site is then ending up on the forum .....scary. It makes the entire town look as if we all act like those who throw nasty comments around on the forum. For me as a citizen of Anna...I dont want anyone to think we are all like that. Im wanting people to appreciate Anna...want to move to Anna and I believe the forum scares them away if they desire a community worth living in. Again, this is a site worth looking at...thank you!!
