If you haven't been to Heroes Memorial Park, Kyle TX lately, the new Cultural Trail is now open between HMP and La Verde--offering even more fantastic walking space. Great place for a date! And it will only get better over time.

Big day for Kyle! 🎉

Today, Kyle became the first city between Austin and San Antonio to break ground on GFiber.

Huge thanks to John-Michael Cortez and the GFiber team for setting the bar high on how a company can build trust, deliver results, and invest in the future of a growing community.

Reliable, high-speed internet is essential to our city’s success — and we’re proud to partner with innovators who share that vision.

I have really enjoyed curating the start of a digital Kyle city archive this last year. It’s turning into a family affair. The stories are amazing! Take a look at a few of the images we are scanning. My hope is to see these old photos and documents preserved for all time and also made available for anyone to view for free. Learning about Kyle history has transformed my perspective of this town.

During my last State of the City speech, I told the story of Kyle's longest operating business. It was called the Bon Ton, and its founder, Lex Word, contributed to the city in many ways over the years. Link to the entire address in the comments. Special thanks to the many sources I used when compiling this story. In particular, the news archives and photo collection of The Hays Free Press were instrumental in helping me gather and share this story.

I bet you never knew THIS happened in Kyle, TX, 114 years ago.

On Saturday, at my final State of the City address, I told the story of Cal Rodgers and the Vin Fiz Flyer in Kyle, TX. This story was researched using multiple sources, including the book "Iron Aviator," by Christopher Wehner and "Kyle: The Prairie City," by Ann Strom. I also found dozens of old newspaper articles in the archives that mentioned the crash landing from all over America, and conducted interviews with residents who had records and oral histories to share.

The images I used of Kyle at the turn of the century were sourced from a variety of places including the Kyle Public Library, Portals to Texas History, the Hays County Historical Commission, The Hays Free Press, and more.

Kyle has a fascinating history.

On October 18, come to City Fest where I will give my eighth and final State of the City address to the community as mayor. I'm going to spend much of my time telling stories and showing pictures from the vaults of Kyle history, including one story from 1911 that is almost too incredible to believe.

This event is free and 100% kid friendly with fireworks to follow! Details in the comments.
