Prosper began as a settlement in 1846, known for its lush soil and ideal growing conditions for cotton crops. Four years later the two settlements of Rock Hill and Richland were developed, and lived side by side until the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad came through in 1914, and forced them to merge into what is known today as "Prosper".

 

The optimistic name choice was not without merit, as this community of 500 residents became a market center for area farmers and their plentiful bounty of corn and cotton crops. Even then, people knew there was something special about this North Texas area, but little did they know, Prosper would become the "Diamond" of Collin County between now and 2035.

Today, Prosper has come into its own with a population of approximatley 7,116; adding a resident per day and projecting a future population of 85,000 by year 2035. Although it is growing, at an alarming rate, Prosper has retained much of its small town charm and family values. Residents can relax in a setting far from the sounds of traffic and hustle and bustle of urban living. Yet, when the big city calls, access to the Metroplex is minutes away via Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380, Preston Road and Central Expressway.



Quick shopping needs are found in downtown Prosper or the Prosper Town Center, plus an abundance of choices located at the nearby Stonebriar Center, Frisco, Park & Preston in Plano, Legacy Town Center and Shops of Willowbend and The Dallas Galleria. One of the largest retail areas in Collin County will find its home along Hwy. 380, just outside of Prosper in the next few years.


 
Prosper is 9 miles long and 3 miles deep with Hwy. 380 as a Southern border and extending 9 miles along prime commercial land. The entire city of Prosper was master-planned with a variety of communities to suit everyone's needs and lifestyle.

Gentle Creek Estates is surrounding a 18 hole golf course. 1/5-2 acre lots. Golf course lot available. Home Builders: Stonegate Custom Homes, Kings Hollow, Dave R.Williams and Alford. Price range from $600K-$900K.

Whitley Place borders an extensive greenbelt that winds through the community. Residents can access it via the strategically placed walking paths and parks. Whitley Place also has its own community pool and lake pavilion. Home prices range from the $300s to $1.5 million.



Whispering Farms provides the ultimate setting for horse and nature lovers. This 300 acre planned community boasts oversized lots, lakes, trails, parks, and a world-class equestrian center. Elegant, luxury homes start from the $500s.

At Lakes of Prosper, residents can obtain a home in the $230s with upgraded amenities, sports center, playground, pool, splash park and hiking/biking trails.



Schools here are part of the Prosper ISD, a recognized district with many exemplary campuses. With a low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, it's no wonder Prosper ISD students achieve higher than average scores that state averages. A school population growth of about 700 students during the 2008/09 year has justified the addition of a new school. 

In August 2009, Prosper welcomed the modern American high school, Texas style. Prosper High School is a $113.5 million, 590,000-square-foot behemoth, complete with a medical tech lab, a restaurant-worthy kitchen, a greenhouse, a broadcast studio and, of course, an indoor football practice facility. http://www.prosper-isd.net.

 

Prosper has come a long way since its early beginnings as a farm community, but its residents have still maintained a sense of pride in their town, and the desire to preserve its historic legacy and small town values. 

 

I am very proud to live in Prosper, represent the community as a Realtor and a Prosper ISD Substitute Teacher. I am very happy that my husband and I chose this wonderful town to raise my children and "plant roots". I love the schools, the small town atmosphere and pride! The "Dahlhouse" is proud to call Prosper "our town"!

How to Say, "You're Being Ticketed for Not Speaking English" in Spanish? 

As a native Texas, I've heard my fair share on the subject, but this is unreal!  I, personally learned the Spanish language to help educate those that want to learn English, and by my experience, most Spanish speaking individuals who live in the US, truly want to learn the language AND I love to travel to Mexico! ;)!  I will try my hardest, not to get in a war of words based on my beliefs on the subject and hard working, law abiding hispanic citizens.

That being said...here it goes...

"Dallas police wrongly ticketed at least 39 drivers for not speaking English over the last three years, Police Chief David Kunkle announced Friday while promising to investigate all officers involved in the cases for dereliction of duty.

"The case that led to the discovery of all the others occurred Oct. 2, when Ernestina Mondragon was stopped for making an illegal U-turn in the White Rock area. Rookie Officer Gary Bromley cited Mondragon for three violations: disregarding a traffic control device, failure to present a driver's license and "non-English speaking driver."

Attorney Domingo Garcia said he has been hired to represent the Mondragon family.  "The issue has nothing to do with whether people should learn English or not. I believe they should," Garcia said. "It's about not following the law and issuing citations against a law that doesn't exist, against a fairly voiceless and helpless population." Beyond potential legal problems, some said the tickets send a troubling message to Hispanics.

"It's the principle of the matter that there are police officers out there representing our city who actually think that it's a crime not to speak English," said Brenda Reyes, a political consultant and member of the League of United Latin American Citizens.

Kunkle, who apologized repeatedly, said he recognized the incidents probably would damage the department's relationship with the Hispanic community.

"When we deal with crime victims ... our interest is not their immigration status," Kunkle said. "It's not something that we concern ourselves about. We want to serve all people."

Last weekend my husband and I had a "whirlwind" of a trip to New York!  My husband was there on business all week and flew me up for the weekend.  I arrived in White Plains, NY at 10:00 on Friday night and we went straight to Monster B's bar in Connecticut and had a blast!  The guys loved my southern accent!  After getting back to the hotel and sleeping only 4 hours, we headed to New York City and "conquered it" in one day!

We ate eaten a New York bagel, a "slice of pie", saw Time Square, during the day AND night, Ground Zero, Waldolf Astoria, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Statue of Liberty, rode the subway, had a picture taken with the Naked Cowboy, went to the Coach, Nike and Louis Vuitton, Empire State Building, McSorley's (the oldest bar in New York) and Little Italy.  I bet we walked 10 miles!!!

Went back to the hotel around 1am, got up at 5 and hopped on a plane back the Dallas at 7am. 

What a great (and busy) day
in New York City!  It was a blast and New York was great, but I am still very proud to live in TEXAS!!!

(Monster B's Bar in Connecticut)
(Me in Time Square)

(Robert in Time Square)

(Lady Liberty...she's beautiful!)

(Top of the Empire State Building)

(Ground Zero, couldn't stay there long, too upsetting)


(McSorley's, great place!)


(The Naked Cowboy, he was so much fun!)
(Legends Bar, Manhattan, had to take a load of the feet for a minute, so we stopped in here for a drink...neat place)

God help me...I am going to be a substitute teacher! I decided once my kids were ALL in school, which is this year, due to my baby girl starting kindergarten, I would try out being a substitute, as well as a Realtor.  What was I thinking???   ;)

I am actually excited about getting my foot in the door and getting through the first day (and a little nervous!)

I am going to sub at all of the Prosper ISD schools.  I have already accepted 2 elementary schools substitute teaching jobs and I am working tomorrow at the new $113.5 million, 590,000-square-foot enormous Prosper High School, complete with a medical tech lab, a restaurant-worthy kitchen, a greenhouse, a broadcast studio and, of course, an indoor football practice facility... nothing but the best for the Prosper kids!

img_2148_400img_2151_400

It sounds like a lot of fun and I've always been told I would be good at teaching, and judging by the subs that I had when I was a kid, you don't really seem to have to be that qualified. Matter of a fact, if I do become a flustered, I will just do what my subs did and put in a movie and read the Star Telegram in the back of the room. LOL!  Just kidding!! ;)I believe here, in the Prosper ISD, things will be quite different.  After all, I have 3 kids in the school system and I know it is a great place to learn!

THIS IS JUST ANOTHER CHAPTER IN MY MY LIFE'S JOURNEY...WISH ME LUCK!!!
