Are You Thinking About Those Weekend Getaways?

When we think of vacations we usually think that it requires one to two weeks off of work, extreme planning, costly expense, and days worth of packing. This does not have to be the case though. Many people take weekend vacations to different parts of Texas. It is very simple and convenient to go to a place that is located only four or five hours away from your home. For many of us, this means places like Galveston, Fredericksburg, or even casinos in Oklahoma and Louisiana. This is definitely doable in a two-day trip. These places are tourist attractions that offer nice weekend getaways from your mundane and monotonous week. Vacations are essential for clearing the mind and helping you cope with your day to day work life. We should not have to wait an entire year to be recharged by a mini vacation. Vacations can occur whenever you want. Granite, weekend getaways are not long lengthy vacations however they do provide us with the relief we need from our hectic weekly lives.

What’s the Best Weekend Vacation Place?

The best weekend vacation place depends on who you are and what you like to do. If you enjoy the beach as well as deep-sea fishing, Galveston may be the perfect place for you. If you enjoy hiking and camping in mountainous areas, then the Wichita mountains in Oklahoma may be the perfect we can get away. If you enjoy small historical towns that are rich in German ethnic culture with lots of shops and wonderful eateries, then Fredericksburg is a must-see. Another attraction is the state park in Monahans, Texas. Monahans provides you with a desert-like experience with its tall sand dunes that you can slide down. The Brazos River also provides a wonderful place for a weekend vacation especially if you are a fan of kayaking or canoeing as well as camping. All these places are great but can require equipment such as a camping or beach gear. You also have to consider if you have room in your current vehicle to accommodate family or friends.

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen Since the 80s and through the 90s, movies involving car dealerships shined a negative light on car salesmen and painted a stereotypical picture. These comedic characters came off as shady, sleazy, pushy, and willing to do anything to make the sale. The News Wheel has listed the Top 5 Worst Car Salesmen from Movies and they're some pretty bad ones. Here are my three favorites from the list. Rudy Russo from the 1980 film Used Cars . A young Kurt Russell portrays Rudy Russo, a state Senate hopeful. In order to get a $10,000 campaign investment from used car lot owner Luke Fuchs, Rudy must help him sell some cars to keep his business up and running. While doing so, Rudy uses standard stereotypical used car salesmen techniques like cheesy commercials, fast-talking, and pressure selling. He even baits a customer from a competing lot by using a $10 bill on a fishing line to get the man to cross the street. Joey O’Brien from Cadillac Man . The ...

Why Buy Through a Pre-Owned Car Dealership

Why Buy Through a Pre-Owned Car Dealership When you hear the words “used car dealership” you think of pushy salespeople trying to sell you an overpriced clunker. But there advantages to buying from an independent car dealership. And if you keep in mind that not all salesmen are trying to make a quick (and dishonest sale) you just might find the vehicle you deserve. The Advantages If you decide to go the route of buying from a dealer, instead of a private seller, you can choose some extra options for your vehicle.

Dealerships care about their reputation, it’s how they keep customers and gain new ones. So you can expect that customer service will be top-notch and they won’t just wash their hands clean after the sale. Dealers also offer their own financing and financ...

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America Over the years, Route 66 has provided travelers, dreamers, and renegades with an experience no other route can give. Established November 11, 1926, covered 2,448 miles and originally ran through eight states starting from Chicago, Ill to Santa Monica, CA and quickly began to be one of the most popular highways in America. It soon became known by other names such as The Mother Road, Will Rogers Highway, and was spotlighted in John Steinbeck’s classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. When The Great Depression hit in 1929 over 200,000 traveled to Californa seeking reprieve from The Dust Bowl and used The Mother Road to escape. Some traveled west with the promise of work. With barren land surrounding them, farmers and their families gathered essentials and traveled west in hopes of work. Towns, mom and pop businesses, and service stations along the highway survived The Great Depression by catering to travelers with supplies, fuel, and car parts. Res...
