Kingswood Topps Trading Cards, Part 1

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with sports trading cards.  In baseball, especially, I was brutal.  I would trade five Mickey Mantles for one Arnold Portocarrero if the latter was tough to get.  Remember, in those days we purchased our Topps cards one package at a time, for a nickel.  The bubble gum … Continue reading

This autumn, we redesigned the Kingswood brochure.  Several of you already have copies and can attest to how bright, shiny and fresh it feels.  Sara gets 100 % of the photography credit!  We hope you enjoy seeing the piece in “screen shot” segments, even if these lack the crispness of the actual product.  If you … Continue reading

Yeah, well, you might recognize some of these mug shots, and, if you do, just tell the authorities they can locate all of these characters along the shores of Lake Tarleton come summer, 2016.

Summer 2015 — First Two Weeks

Summer 2015 — First Two Weeks

This is the first of several reports from Mr. Wiff, which take you through last summer, a few weeks at a time.  Lots of things changed, and mostly for the good, as summer progressed.  For example, I could not resist showing both the “before and after” of the council fire area.  It sure was a … Continue reading
