Shafer Plaza Update

Shafer Plaza
Sorry it’s taken me so long to get the Shafer Plaza info online! The elections and the new features on the site have been a bit distracting.

Forney Commons - Petsmart, Best Buy & Ross in Forney!
Sorry it’s been a while since the last post, but it’s worth the wait! Someone just sent me some information about “Forney Commons”; this development consists of much of the remaining land just west of Sonic, along “Old FM 548″, which is just west of where 548 is now. If you’re going down Highway 80 [...]
