As you remember, my family and I moved to Bartlett Texas February 14th 2014. I started my blog writing about the good bad and ugly characteristics of the city I call home. In the honeymoon days every thing was interesting, wonderful , new, different, appealing, appalling, delicious,
distasteful, hurried,slow, practical, impractical, yet a year later, only a few things are the same. The Churches are true to their standards of worship. The Methodist church still stands out above all ( probably because it is the one I have attended most) and conversed with it's ministers and parishioners. I am aware of the clothing closet, Friday hot meal deliveries to residents in Bartlett Granger and Holland? and the vision of the Church. My second familiar church is Holy Temple. My Husband had never been to a Pentecostal church and cannot wait to return. We keenly remember the sermon and testimony of Pastor Binder.
For the most part Bartlett's mixed population of resident's are "what you meet is what you get." This brings to mind, one little lady about five feet tall, a retired nurse. She rides around town on her bike, very opinionated, I don't care who you are. She's a spit-fire, and very comfortable in her skin and situation. Then, there is the City official's wife, Statuesque, quite spoken, a stand by your man classy lady who should in my opinion be friends with the former city council women and current local business woman as they share the same characteristics and have so much in common. It is my belief they can unite the other professional women in the city including the former and current city secretaries, the Artist, the church mothers, shop owners and lastly the City Council women.
In my initial Blog and updates I asked a lot of questions and left them out there for open answers, but consistent with the don't ask don't tell ,don't ask don't answer, don't ask don't vote atmosphere of Bartlett no questions were answered which dissolves the mystery of why people don't vote. Simply they don't care enough to vote.
Yes, there are many rumors as to why people don't vote. I will discuss those on the rumor versus fact page. That page will be deleted after in April the reason why will be discussed on the March forum of Rumor versus Fact
Please read though all of the pages as they have all been updated for March 2015.
