Photos from a drive around Schertz, Texas

A couple of weeks ago, I had to kill some time and run a couple of errands in Schertz. (According to the US post office, I live about 200 feet from the boundary line of Schertz, in Cibolo, to the east.)

Since I had my camera with me, I thought I'd try to capture some of the contrasts between the old city of Schertz and just a small portion of the rapid development that has been taking place in the last few years.

Last year, Schertz was ranked one of the best places to live in Texas by Money magazine. So far, it's been good to me. Many people stationed at Randolph Air Force Base live in Schertz or the nearby cities of Universal City, Live Oak, Converse, and Cibolo. I'll be driving around there soon, too.

This is a very nice tour of Schertz. I had not heard of Schertz before. Just wondering what tool you used to create your videos. Nice introduction to a Texas town I was unfamiar with.

Hi, Joan:

I use Active Rainer Jeff Turner's Real Estate Shows, www.realestateshows.com.

I realized, however, that I need to resize my photos before I upload them to his site, since they're too wide for the shows. The B.G.'s Catering sign was cut off!

Cheers,

Robin

Hey Robin - I remember when it was only old farmland. Where are all the people coming from? Definitely good for the real estate market.

Schertz has been discovered. Thanks for sharing.

Robin, I love your comparison between the old and the new using a real estate show.  Both are needed old and new.

Thanks, Marchel! It's taken me a while to get around to it, and I'll want to update it in the spring when things green up a bit.

Robin - Thank you for the nice tour of your area!  This is better than if I was riding with you, as I can play it over and over.

Thanks, Cathy! If you were riding with me, you'd get to listen to my jokes, though!

Hi Robin I loved the videos, I especially liked all the old style signs in the first video. You do not see too many of them around anymore. In fact I just saw a rotating sign and was amazed.
