News opinion: City hall should remain in the town center
Last month, the council directed City Manager Ricky Tow to enter negotiations for land. While there is no confirmation, talk around town is the complex would be located along or near U.S. 287. The city certainly is not land-poor and there could be other options. The community room property could be developed further or what about that old football stadium area?
As a longtime Bowie resident, albeit, a transplant from Wichita Falls, and a taxpayer, I am offended that my city government would move itself away from the town center to the edge of city limits. What does that say about our main downtown area?
Yes, there are empty buildings that need occupants, so we need our city to stand tough with us, not flee for a more high-profile spot. Also why can’t I pay my bill in a convenient location?

There is a new flower showing up at garden centers that is pure magic, in fact its official name is Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit. If you aren’t familiar with the name, it is a calibrachoa, a petunia relative. Double gives reference to flowers that in this case look like miniature roses.
Magic is your key descriptor telling you that the flower changes colors. The flowers start off a pleasant lemon yellow and then age to a rose pink.
Of course, to get to rose pink you have various shades along the way. Another magical aspect to me, the guru of captivating combinations is that it seems no matter the color you choose it will go with Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit calibrachoa.
