Hazy Hills

 This  small subdivision was requested by E. S. Bammel and was approved November 1964.  The 24 November 1964 Kerrville Daily Times reported:

The construction plans for E. S. Bammel's Hazy Hills subdivision Unit Number 1 were approved by the council.  The council also agreed to set a public hearing for a rezoning request by Bammel to change Lot 1, Block 4 of the subdivision from residential to apartment.  The subdivision is located in the Bluebell area. 

More specifically, it is located in the 900 block of Bluebell. This neighborhood includes one church, Foursquare Gospel Fellowship, which is at 915 Bluebell.

 Edwin Bammel, the developer, advertised that he erected custom homes. Advertising indicates they were mostly three bedroom, two brick houses. Some were colonials, some ranchers.

The Bear at Henke Bros. City Meat Market

 In his column this week, Joe Herring mentioned the pet bear at Henke Bros. City Meat Market.  I wrote about that story seven years ago. It's time to resurrect.  Enjoy!
