Sometimes people email me with rumors that I just can’t confirm or deny, that are new to me or that I’ve heard before, but can’t seem to track down any proof about. I’ve decided to post all of these rumors and see if anyone else out has heard these rumors and perhaps has more information. If you’ve emailed me one of these rumors and I haven’t emailed you back yet, I apologize. I’ve been greatly surprised at the number of people reading the site and emailing, so it’s taking me some time to get to everything. If you have any info on any of these rumors, please feel free to email me at josh@twentypeacefulminutes.com!

These rumors range from things that are new to me to things I’ve heard a few times, and cover everything from grocery stores to water parks! Simply click “Read On” below to read all about it…

• SuperTarget in Forney?; Shafer Plaza Expansion

  While discussing the latest SuperTarget rumors in the Forney Discussion Forums, I decided to do a bit...

I just wanted to remind everyone that the Cold Stone Creamery grand opening is Saturday the 27th - tomorrow! They will open at 11AM and be open until 9PM; Radio Disney will be there from 1PM to 3PM, prizes will be given away every half hour and the first thirty customers will receive a voucher for a free product!

If you’ve never been to a Cold Stone Creamery, go check it out! I’ve been to several Cold Stone locations throughout the Metroplex, and in addition to very creative, personalized ice cream, many of their locations also serve shakes and real fruit smoothies, including smoothies made with your choice of yogurt or soymilk - so even if you’re not a fan of rich, indulgent ice cream, they’ll have something for you!

Cold Stone is opening in Shafer Plaza, which is the shopping center near the Sonic, across 548 from WalMart; from Highway 80, exit 548 and turn north (which is right at the traffic light if you’re coming from Terrell and left at the traffic light if you’re coming from Dallas). Cold Stone will be past the WalMart/Murphy Oil gas station and on your left.
