Preparations are underway to open another new business downtown, this one by David Pantoja. The VP Tire Service will be located on 702 East Broadway in the building where Jesse Faust’s Garage was located for many years.
The VP Tire Service will sell both new and used tires, do general maintenance such as oil changes, flats, and brakes, and make minor repairs. There are also plans to have a service truck.
For a while now, the business has been open on Saturdays and by appointment, but after the grand opening, it will be open six days a week. The exact times are not yet certain, but they will be something like 7:30am-5:30pm Monday through Friday and 8:00am-2:00pm on Saturday.
The grand opening is tentatively set for Labor Day weekend with refreshments for all. For more information, contact David Pantoja at 325-280-1917.

PLANS MADE TO BEAUTIFY DOWNTOWN PARK
At the B (Community Improvement) Board meeting last week, the City of Roscoe solidified plans to improve the little downtown park across the street from the Roscoe State Bank on Cypress Street .
MasterScapes of Abilene will be involved in the landscape design and placement of trees, seating, and pedestrian walkways. This is the same company that previously worked with the City on the Veterans’ Memorial Park downtown.
Funding was also approved for the construction of a seven to eight foot tall brick wall running from the southeast corner of the park along Cypress to 2nd Street and another one running from the southeast corner all the way back to the alley between Cypress and Bois d’Arc Streets.
Plans were also discussed for the painting of a mural on the store wall facing the Veteran’s Memorial Park on the corner of Cypress and Broadway.
