From Weekend Playground to Retirement Destination, Gun Barrel City, Texas, Offers Something for Everyone

Gun Barrel City, Texas (PRWEB) May 27, 2011

Memorial Weekend kicks off the season in Gun Barrel City, Texas, a fast-growing community that thrives on the summer months when thousands visit Cedar Creek Lake. The town is located just 50 miles south and east of Dallas, but Gun Barrel City offers a relaxed, country pace that appeals to visitors, permanent residents, and city weekenders alike.

With a name as distinctive as its lakefront lifestyle, Gun Barrel City has a lot going for it, including steady growth. The population increased more than 20 percent between the 2000 and 2010 Census, with current population figures at more than 6,500 residents. Over weekends in the summer, that population swells to as much as ten times that number around the lake, as "the weekenders" descend upon their lake homes.

To keep up with community needs, the city has adopted a pro-business attitude. Gun Barrel City is one of just a handful of towns in Texas without ad valorem taxes. The city also has an Economic Development Corporation that offers incentives to businesses interested in locating in the community.

We are actively pursuing retail businesses, restaurants, entertainment venues, and of course agriculture or light manufacturing that bring jobs and services, says Steve Webster, president of the EDC.

Currently the city is working on anchor tenants for its Heritage Cove development, which already includes a new La Quinta Inn, an 8-screen movie theatre, the popular Lake Jackson Seafood Restaurant, a retail strip, and plans for a Riverwalk-style pedestrian shopping and entertainment complex. Land grants, loans, loan guarantees and other incentives are available and are helping position Gun Barrel City as a place to do business.

According to Webster, the population growth in Gun Barrel City is fueled by two trends: families in search of small towns and exceptional schools, and a growing retirement population drawn to the lake and its affordable lifestyle. The combination of new residents and the large weekend population has created a vibrant local economy.

The Lifestyle

Cedar Creek Lake is one of the largest lakes in Texas, and one of only a few that allow property owners to have docks. With more than 350 miles of shoreline, the lake has plenty of lakefront property. Most Gun Barrel City neighborhoods offer lakefront homes, ranging from tiny cabins to million dollar estates.

Theres plenty of room on Cedar Creek Lake for fishing, sailing, water skiing, Personal Water Craft, or cruising on a party barge.

On July 2, the city hosts JulyFest, a festival featuring a line up of popular bands and a fireworks display in the city park. Fireworks can be viewed from anywhere on the lake, as hundreds of private docks become launch pads for impressive fireworks displays.

The July 4th celebrations around Cedar Creek Lake also include an over water Air Show that features vintage and high tech military aircraft that thrill hundreds of boaters who gather on the water to watch the aeronautic acrobatics.

Permanent Visitors

In 2009, Gun Barrel City was awarded the Go Texan Certified Retirement Community designation from the state of Texas, a distinction that has attracted retirees from around the nation who want an affordable lakefront retirement in a moderate climate near excellent medical care.

There really is something for everyone in Gun Barrel City. The lake is a huge draw, and real estate on the lake is affordable. Retirees often start out as weekenders. Before they know it, they move here full time, says Larry Spiegel, a Dallas advertising executive who himself started visiting the lake on weekends before moving to Gun Barrel City full time in 2005.

The close proximity to Dallas means Gun Barrel City is commuting distance, and the area also is popular for telecommuters and professionals who work from home.

If you can live anywhere in the world and do your work, this is a great place to be, Spiegel says.

Not Another Tie: SailorBags Offers Tips to Make Fathers Day All About Dad

Victor, NY (PRWEB) June 02, 2011

So many people have given their dads ties on Father's Day. This year, SailorBags (http://www.sailorbags.com) suggests doing something a little different to put a smile on his face.

Here are some tips for how to do just that:

1. Perform some recon.

It works in his favorite movies, so it'll work for dad too. If youre local, see how he spends his free time. Over the phone, listen to what he talks about. Its likely that things have changed since you borrowed the car as a teen, and you may find he's revealing more than youd expect.

Is he a man of simple tastes? Is he always losing his glasses, or does he express a desire that something be fixed around the house? Youll have a list to go on, and enough to use for his birthday or the holidays too.

2. Remember that this is about him, not you.

When you go to the store, keep that recon handy. You might be drawn to the new fangled golf gadget, but if you noticed his preference for the tried-and-true one he already owns, don't go there. He'll appreciate that you knew better than to get him something he won't use.

That is the trick with buying for your parents, isn't it? Taking yourself out of the equation. Dad might want to return to the same restaurant each year or buy the same brand of fishing tackle over and over. If he's happy, Fathers Day is a success.

3. When in doubt, ask.

Most dads don't mind not being surprised. If you are really not sure, ask what would make him happy.

And then? Do it. Simple.

If the dads in your life love the outdoors, consider a lightweight, sturdy carrier for all of his favorite stuff, said Anne Zimmer, president, SailorBags. SailorBags offers a variety to suit every hobby and interest and all guaranteed for life: from cooler bags to take to the game to dopp kits for traveling or totes and duffel bags to organize and protect boating gear.

The full line of SailorBags can be personalized for any individual, business, retail store, college, or sports club. They make ideal corporate gifts for colleagues and customers, as well as perfect regatta trophies and prizes.

The SailorBags line of products can be purchased at http://www.sailorbags.com and in retail stores, gift boutiques and marine shops across the country. Regular product pricing starts at $ 17.50. Wholesale pricing is available for qualifying orders. Contact a SailorBags event/gift specialist at 1-800 639-1754 to discuss your customization needs.

Pearson's Vocabulary Central App for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch Offers Grammar on the Go for Today's Texting Generation

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 9, 2010

R U able 2 rd ths? If so, you get an A+ in SMS (Short Message Service), today's communication method of choice for our texting and twittering tweens and teens. As this rapid fire messaging language has gained in popularity, however, many educators are questioning whether basic grammar and writing skills are being left behind.

Vocabulary Central is available for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch through iTunes for $ 2.99 in individualized editions for grades 6-12.

Students work with flashcards to build their understanding of specific vocabulary words. Each flashcard provides an explanation of the word, a model sentence, synonyms and antonyms, word families, and background information, all with accompanying audio. After practicing, students are able to earn points through the Quiz mode.

Once all flashcards have been reviewed within a series of lessons, access is available - for grades 6-10 - to videos featuring scrolling lyrics that provide musical and contextual clues to help students discover the meaning of the vocabulary words highlighted in blue.

Through the Vocab Trivia activity, students read word-related questions and choose the best answer. The faster the questions are answered, the higher the scores. If students wait too long, incorrect answers start to vanish, along with the chance to score more points.

"Vocabulary Central is designed so that students can work at their own pace to build their vocabulary skills, and have fun along the way," said Doug McCollum, Pearson's General Manager for Literacy. "It's the latest in Pearson's series of innovative apps for meeting today's on-the-go tweens and teens in their digital world."

The Roxbury Offers the Grooviest Lodging "Trip" East of...Mars

Roxbury, NY (PRWEB) July 17, 2007

Seen from the distance, The Roxbury looks like a stately country establishment, tucked in one of the most rural corners of New York's Catskill Mountains. But look closer and you will notice the chartreuse green doors with black trimmings and from there it becomes clear that this is not your typical lodging choice - something very different is going on here. The Roxbury, which has been offering a finely tuned luxury boutique hotel experience for two years, has spent the past year building some stylistically rich rooms and suites unlike any other pads on the planet.

What sets The Roxbury apart is its brand new theatrically designed theme rooms, suites and spa each loosely inspired by an iconic American film, TV show or cartoon from the 60's and 70's. The Roxbury offers the relaxation and escape factor you long for in the Catskills, with a luxurious design and visual richness that makes no compromises. Extraordinary is an understatement!

Travel Alert: Need An Out-Of-This-World Place To Unwind? The Roxbury Hotel Offers A Very Groovy Yet Luxurious Vacation Destination For Summer Fun

Roxbury, NY (PRWEB) July 25, 2007

What sets The Roxbury Hotel apart is its brand new theatrically designed theme rooms, suites, and spa loosely inspired by an iconic American film, TV show or cartoon from the 60's and 70's. The result is a series of hotel rooms and suites with unique elements that give each room its own 'wow factor' in addition to a real sense of design, luxury, adventure and fun.

"It is not just a place to stay while you enjoy the beautiful New York Catskills, but a full-blown entertainment experience of its own," says Gregory Henderson and Joseph Massa, the hotel's co-owners and proprietors.

Genie's Bottle is a spacious two-bedroom suite constructed with the signature arabesque curves of Persian architecture and art and decorated with custom-made cheetah-print sofas, silk damask-patterned settees, and "Victoria's Ghost" Phillipe Starck chairs. The "crown jewel" of the suite is a perfectly spherical purple and gold luxurious bottle-shaped bathroom with a 70-gallon Japanese soaking tub at its center. The "genie's bottle" is not simply curved marble walls, but a perfectly engineered sphere.

George's Space Pad is furnished with space-age orange, Lucite, and chrome chairs and a cherry red chromatherapy bathtub and sink that actually illuminate from within. Specially manufactured in Italy, the Space Pad tub and sink illustrate how an entire room can be built around a "riff" on one key design element. Fred's Lair has an 11' tall pebble stone shower and bathroom area, bed throws made of seven different kinds of faux fur and mirrors made of driftwood collected from the Cornish Coast of England. Co-owner Joseph Massa sculpted the rocky interior of this room for months.

The Mod Pod is the epitome of 1960/70s groove with its artichoke-shaped chandeliers, flower-power artwork, and swirling yellow, green and orange wallpaper reminiscent of Rowan and Martin's "Laugh-In." Golightly-A-Go-Go, with its black velvet and crunched silver foil wall coverings, Tiffany-blue accent walls, crystal chandeliers, and rich cherry wood molding, is an elegant tribute to the iconic Truman Capote character and Audrey Hepburn's classic performance.

The Partridge Nest, with its bright blue, yellow and red 3D wallscape and pop-art glass mosaic tile work, is a reincarnation of the famous Mondrian-inspired bus. Samantha's Cloud is light and airy, with sparkling silver glitter-glass mosaic tile and an ethereal cloud mural that spans the entire ceiling and most of the walls.

"In designing the rooms, our goal was to create an environment of pampering comfort. They are meant to exude 'whimsical elegance.' Many of these one-of-a-kind elements were created or discovered by our staff. Our hotel manager even made many of the lampshades, drapes and throw pillows. Hotel co-owner Joseph Massa not only supervised the construction process, he was also a man of all trades. The Mondrian masterpiece in the Partridge Nest took him three months of excruciating patience and a fortune in masking tape," says Henderson.

Amenities Abound in These Super Cool Rooms...All rooms and suites include an extensive continental breakfast, WiFi, refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine, A/C, 100% Egyptian cotton linens, telephones with voicemail, luxury 'Lather' bathroom amenities, locally hand-made body soaps, state-of-the-art flat screen TVs with DVD players and access to a DVD collection of over 400 DVD's, mood lighting on dimmers, fresh flowers, Godiva chocolates, double-pillow top mattresses, and one-of-a kind chandeliers.

The inspiration started with "The Shagadelic," an aptly named suite in the original Roxbury. Guests responded so positively to the "cool factor" that Henderson and Massa decided to undergo a major expansion that takes off in several retro-chic directions and now doubles The Roxbury's size.

Also new at The Roxbury Hotel is The Shimmer Spa. Thousands of iridescent mosaic tiles surround the professional sports caliber hot tub, a dry sauna, a fireplace, and a shower made of black river rock that massages your feet while taking a shower. The new 900 square foot upper deck at The Roxbury Hotel is furnished with comfortable chaise lounges and sectional "conversation area" couches. The fire pit is custom-engineered to allow flames to dance through chartreuse aquatel glass crystals. There is also a custom-made 4' x 6' Chihuly-inspired chandelier that hangs in the exterior stairwell that was specially commissioned.

For those seeking the comfort of more conventional accommodations, a number of "classic" rooms and suites are available from stylish "comes-with-kitchenette" rooms to cozy studios.

The villages, hamlets and countryside surrounding Roxbury offer numerous recreational and cultural pursuits and events to enjoy year-round including biking, hiking, skiing and snowboarding, fall foliage tours, fishing, golfing and kayaking. Museums, galleries, antiquing, heritage tourism events and fairs, auctions and historic sites throughout the area offer something for everyone.

Located at 2258 County Highway 41, Roxbury, NY, The Roxbury Hotel is less than a three-hour drive from the New York tri-state area, Albany, and Philadelphia. The Roxbury welcomes families, meeting groups, singles and lovers. Its guest register now includes visitors from more than 27 countries.

To view visuals of all rooms, go to http://www.theroxburymotel.com, click on Rooms & Spa, then the appropriate room category, and scroll to the links for "viewing actual photos" of every single room.
