2. Water Tower Plaza

This small plaza is packed with interesting information. There's a story about a man who worked his way up from toting water to workers to being their boss. Another interesting story involves a young man from the community who grew up to be a pilot in WWII and once flew so low down Main Street that he looked UP at the tower.
There is a short description also about the building of the water tower. Take a little time and enjoy learning something new.

We've been here before but it's always worth a stop. Where else can you find the Blarney Stone in Texas? Free and a good photo-op.
5. Madden Massage

This was to be a one hour deep tissue massage. It was one hour ... that's the good news. The massage was very light, not even close to deep. Also, to my amazement, after only massaging my neck and back she was done! No legs, or chest, at all. Although the therapist was a nice young lady, I would not recommend her as a therapist. She only gets the second star because she was nice.
