Welcome To Case's Column
Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken.
Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.
In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.
Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!
Regards,

Disappointing News For Metroplex Salt Lick Fans
Posted 07-05-2020 at 09:18 AM by case44
I knew that it would come to this.
When I inquired with the city of Grapevine (Texas) about the status of the deal being worked out with Salt Lick Barbecue, they told me that Salt Lick was still in negotiations and a deal may eventually be worked out.
That was two years ago.
After Salt Lick had promised to build a location in Grapevine on a very fine piece of land that would have doubled its Driftwood capacity, I got the news from a Salt Lick manager yesterday that the deal fell through. The land was just too expensive.
This was not the first time Salt Lick had been in negotiations was Metroplex citizens about building in this area. But this experience of overhyping and then getting nothing in return is demoralizing. What this means to all of us is that it will be even longer before Salt Lick Barbecue shows up at the right place in Dallas/Fort Worth.
That is, if it ever happens at all.
