The "old Taylor Middle School", referenced in the description, is actually the "old Taylor HIGH School", built in 1927. I was in its last graduating class in 1969, along with Kirk Bohls. (We both had "Ruthie" as our English IV and Journalism teacher!).

I was raised in Taylor. As is the case with many wild-eyed youth, at times I considered myself "stuck" in a podunk little town. Now, after a professional career that has taken me to many large cities and states throughout the country, I again reside in Taylor. My perception of it, however, has changed considerably since the "know it all" days of my youth. True, Taylor has entered the modern world in embracing latest technology businesses. (Taylor is home to the brain center of the Nation's ONLY one-state electrical grid system, but relatively few people even KNOW it!). But the City still retains it's rustic agricultrual charm and downhome friendly persona. It is, wonderfully, a modern day "Mayberry RFD". (Today's wild-eyed youth might not appreciate that).

If you still instinctively want to stop as you're driving east or west on Lake Drive and approach its intersection with Kimbro Street, then you've been around here long enough to appreciate the sweet metamorphis Taylor has undergone. My dear Mom, Margaret, summed it up rather simply when she won Taylor's Centennial Slogan Contest with her entry: "Taylor, Texas, USA . . . getting better every day". Taylor misses you, Mom.
