Grapevine residents said Tuesday evening at a Grapevine City Council workshop meeting that they were generally pleased that the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center was making efforts to reduce noise and lights into the neighborhood.

The city of Grapevine awarded a $53,000 contract recently to J. Stowe and Company to conduct a water and wastewater cost-of-service and rate design model. The city, which has not adjusted the rates since 1999, will use the information in deciding whether to increase water and sewer rates.

Last week as officials were announcing that Colleyville’s Metro Cinema will reopen in mid-August under new management, a large portion of bricks on the front wall of the theater slid down several inches placing additional weight on a steel support above a window of the Austin Lorin clothing store next door, shattering the window.

While the Grapevine hockey team did lose by seven goals to Carroll last Thursday, the final score does not tell the whole story.

Things did not go as well as planned in the final 7-on-7 competition of the season for the Grapevine football team, but assistant coach Rocky Jones said he is still very pleased with how the season went.

The streak is alive and well. But there’s nothing like waiting for the last possible chance to do it.
