Road Construction
What an exciting time this is on the Square in Rockwall! For months we’ve been watching the progress on Highy 205 inch closer to the Square. They’re finally here! As I look out the front of our building I’m thrilled to se the antiquated, bumpy pavement on Goliad gone. The noisy, busy traffic has been moved. Shoppers can now cross Goliad safely. Once the new pavement is completed it will be beautiful. The crosswalks will be much safer without traffic coming at you from every direction. Our Towne Square is becoming a real viable destination for shopping and dining!
2nd Saturday on the Square
Saturday, September 12, 2009, we will inaugurate the monthly 2nd Saturday on the Square festivites. Our very first ‘festival’ will include a BBQ cook off, a poker stroll, a fun run and other activities. The various Fine Restaurants on the Square will have outdoor food booths to tempt our palates. It will be a fun fulled day!
Exciting plans are already on the table for several upcoming months, with each being a memorable time for you and your family.
Local Artists Featured at Candlelight & Lamposts
As many of you are aware, I’ve been associated with the art world for many years both in Dallas and Rockwall. We’ve found that our Rockwall community is home to many talented artists whose works have been on display in several diverse exhibits. I’m pleased to announce that our shop will host a rotating exhibit of local artists works beginning September 12th. Each 2nd Saturday we will introduce a different artist.
Our first spotlighted artist will be Sueretta Todd. Sueretta is very talented! You may have seen her works at various venues including the Belle Harbor.
These exhibits will give you and your family the opportunity to get acquainted with both the artists and their works.
Shopping & Dining on the Square
Such a pleasant shopping & dining experience can be had on the Square these days! As you stroll the sidewalks, you sense the aromas of gourmet foods cooking on wood fired grills. I get hungry just thinking about it. Once inside the various shoppes, you’re greeted personally by the friendly proprietors; soft music and the smell of scented candles fills the air. Many of the buildings have been preserved for over 100 years.
Summer Blowout Sale
There’s always sale racks at Candlelight & Lamposts. We’re currently clearing out all our summer wear - Mens Golf Shirts and Shorts, Ladies summer wear etc. We also have a very limited supply of Brighton accessories which have been discontinued and are now on sale. These items move quickly!
