KCS Holiday Express...Next Stop Wylie

KCS Holiday Express…Next Stop Wylie

Tuesday, December 2

4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Oak Street Crossing

This is a wonderful event, that I’m amazed I haven’t heard of before….bring the kids to walk through the Holiday Train Cars filled with wonder and visit with Santa and his Elves.

In its eighth annual run, Kansas City Southern’s Holiday Express train will bring Santa Claus and his elves to visit 23 stops in 21 communities in eight states throughout The Kansas City Southern Railway Company’s service territory, including Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas and Illinois. In addition to being a free, public event, the Holiday Express has a charitable component.

At each stop, KCS will make a contribution of Walmart gift cards to the local Salvation Army to provide warm clothing for children in need. Thanks to contributions from KCS’ employees, vendors and friends, KCS raised $126,200 to purchase gift cards - a nearly three percent increase over the 2007 campaign, despite current concerns with the economy.

If I can provide more detailed information about Wylie real estate or other local areas, please let me know text or call me direct at 214.682.4259 or email me atCindy@TheTrinityGroup.org .

Cities Where Your Nest Egg Goes Farthest

Cities Where Your Nest Egg Goes Farthest
A significant number of Americans will soon retire, but the economic downturn may be causing some to rethink how they'll spend their golden years.

No. 10 Nashville, Tenn.

With a population of 1,486,695, this city came in at No. 9 for affordable housing. It was also one of our Best Places for Business in 2007. Add in pleasant weather and all the benefits a community derives from a top-notch university like Vanderbilt, and you've got a fine place to retire

No. 9 Atlanta, Ga.

This southern city isn't just for young singletons and families. In terms of net migration among people over 65, Atlanta ranked No. 3 with droves of older Americans picking this affordable and desirable place to spend their golden years.

No. 8 St. Louis, Mo.

Meet me in St. Louis. Seriously. Greater St. Louis is growing fast and with good reason. Affordable housing and sluggish inflation (just 3.2% in June 2008) make this is a great place to retire.

No. 7 Denver, Colo.

A Rocky Mountain retirement will involve outdoor living, a vibrant nightlife and a manageable cost of living. Denver, one of Forbes.com's Best Cities for Singles, attracts people of all ages making it a good long-term bet for retirees who want to ensure that they are settling somewhere with a bright future.

No. 6 Indianapolis, Ind.

This Midwestern city ranked No. 1 for housing affordability relative to income and No. 8 for inflation. Students from Purdue and Indiana University share a campus in town and provide youthful vibrancy, while Colts fans up the energy even further, making this a reasonably priced and lively place to retire.

No. 5 Salt Lake City, Utah

Utah's capital is growing fast. With nearly 16 doctors per thousand people--far above the national average--retirees can be reassured by the cluster of medical professionals and facilities nearby. With a median age of 30, retirees may not blend in, but they can be sure that economic growth is ahead.

No. 4 Houston, Texas

Forbes.com's Best Place to Buy a Home is, not surprisingly, a great place to retire. With tax revenues flowing from the oil and alternative energy industries centered there and a bustling tech scene, retirees won't need to worry that they are settling into a place on the slide. Throw in affordable housing and sunny weather, and Houston is a great place to begin again.

No. 3 Minneapolis, Minn.

This twin city has a reputation for big city arts and nightlife, but it can accommodate a retiree's fixed budget. While the winter may be rough, the cost of living won't be.

No. 2 Dallas, Texas

Dallas has a robust economy, thanks to the many corporations headquartered in the city's center. With sunny weather, low taxes and Southern hospitality, this Texas town is a great place to retire.

No. 1 Columbus, Ohio

Home to the Ohio State Buckeyes, Midwestern Columbus has a low cost of living and affordable housing--seniors seem to get along just fine. More than a fifth of folks over 65 are employed, and that age group only constitutes 6% of persons living under the poverty level, which indicates that independent living is en vogue in this river city.
