gruene: Gruene Wine Fest
- 10/10/09 11:39 AM
Almost forgot this one. Was driving my usual way, cutting down Hunter Road to where it intersects with Gruene Rd. Right at the front door of Gruene Hall, usually cut down tot he right use the new "Not so Low" Low water bridge, check the river and head on towards downtown New Braunfels. I live here and I get to do this daily, as a result I tend to get a bit testy with the touristas. They are usually nice & they are very necessary to our economy but they don't realize that this is a street not a pedestrian … (1 comments)
gruene: Mozie on down to Gruene

Comfortable chairs, Good old fashioned, full bar and backbar, … (2 comments)

Needless to say, that's not me, BUT I do have the skilz! Since the biggest cooking day of the year is upon us next week, I want to share a story of my first pumpkin pie. I was dating my husband, he had volunteered my 21 year old baking skills to his family... guess who was making the pies? I was in … (2 comments)
gruene: Historic Gruene Bridge Bites the Dust
- 11/11/07 03:17 PM
Granted, the Guadalupe River low water bridge at Gruene it isn't THAT beautiful. It was built as a utilitarian way to cross an impetuous river. Two narrow lanes more sized for Model T's than SUV's. I'm sure no great architects were ever involved in it's construction. It wasn't a graceful arch or an example of Victorian iron lacework, it was just solid concrete with some exposed re-bar here and there, barely wide enough for two pick-ups to pass slowly while the drivers gawked at the slightly tipsy bikini clad toobers try to exit the river gracefully. A couple of years ago, a large section washed down stream … (1 comments)
