Mural in plans for downtown

A main area in downtown Howe could look very different in the near future.  The new owner of the corner downtown building (formerly M&M’s Hardware) has sketched a plan to incorporate a modern design with a tip of the hat to Howe’s history.  The wall will have advertising space available inside the mural.  The design is very similar to one on 6th Street in Austin, but has been tailored to fit Howe.

 

Van Alstyne staging Interurban Park

The old Interurban cars that once ran through Van Alstyne and Howe will be restored and used as a backdrop for concerts.  The Van Alstyne Chamber of Commerce is using funds from the Van Alstyne Community Development Corporation.  Full story in Monday’s Howe Enterprise.

 

McQueen leading the Florence Buffaloes

Former Howe head coach Joey McQueen is now leading the Florence Buffaloes. McQueen was 16-16-2 in Howe replacing Jim Fyar in 1990. Under McQueen, Howe won the District, Bi-District and Area Championships in 1990 and ’91. McQueen is the only former Bulldogs head coach who is still an active varsity head football coach.

The Ballinger native is trying to turn around a program that only won one game last season. The Florence Buffaloes won their season opener 52-19 over Rosebud-Lott and lost last week to Jarrell, 29-26.
