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.
