Welcome to the cascades Community blog!

Welcome, this blog is my attempt to help every resident of the Cascades to stay informed and involved in making the Cascades the absolute best residential real estate address in Texas, with the happiest residents. This has nothing to do with the Homeowner's Association and isn't in any way a competition for it. Here are my goals and reasons for starting this blog:
1. News sometimes gets around slowly and it is easy to hear rumors and half truths. For instance, the recent annexation proposal for Lake Bellwood by the city of Tyler and a proposed change in zoning is something we should all know about, right?


2. There will always be someone we need to check on or pray for or just be mindful of, and it would be helpful to know if someone is in the hospital, or has had a new grandchild or anything like that.

3. When there are issues with the cable company, or the telephone company or the trash pickup people, wouldn't it be useful to know how others have handled similar concerns?

In any case, I wanted to get a forum together where we could all visit and express our hopes, dreams and concerns about our new neighborhood. Hopefully, it will be something useful to everyone.

I am expressly not wanting to make this a "gripe" blog, because we have no standing with anyone, so it might not go anywhere.
