What's up with this little town?
I'm gonna live here for awhile (I grew up in this suburb as a kid) and it's dead.
It's neighbor Forrest Hill has fast food places, a hotel, grocery stores, etc
Burleson exploded with resturants, hotels, strip malls, movie theater.
Even Crowley looks alot more vibrant than Everman.

I once heard a comment, "I wonder what happened with Everman, it was a develpoment that never developed". It's over 5,000 in population, but we only have a Dollar General. We lost the only fast food chain we had (Dairy Queen) a few years ago and only some small town eats only left.
We got a new housing develpoment (Pulte Homes) off of Everman Parkway and Oak Grove Rd, called "Everman Park" but its on the Fort Worth city limit side. Also other Fort Worth housing went up on the other side of Everman Prky between the jr high and high school. FW creeping in kinda

Why doesnt this suburb just get absorbed in FW anyways? I mean the FW city limits surround it. Anyone have any info or history about Everman? It has no progress, I mean if ya lived here 20yrs ago, its like a town sized time capsule. Nothing changed other than DQ and Winn Dixie (formerly Buddies) left town.

I myself can't ever recall stepping foot in there (Not like I would be welcomed?). However, I do sympathize.

Is it a town or some innercity subdivision.

[DrkLts]

It's incorparated as a town. City Hall is a small building. But it just feels like a subdivision. What's funny is there are parrots that live here. They have the biggest nests on a few utility poles. Nobody knows how they got here. Thier mentioned on the city's websight...

Everman, TX

Just scroll down a paragraph or two to read about the infamous parrot population lol

[safly]

Not to sound rude (like I ever). But reading up on the history of your lil town, it would make for a nice educational play at the Casa Manana. SERIOUSLY. Would be a wonderful venue to market your dear lil Everman. No need to go "Tennessee Williams" about it either. Just factual and of course, hit the funny bone every now and then. Could get a big sponsorship out of it too ya know. Use public funds and GET PAID! CASH MONEY!


BTW, the parrots nest pics. Yeee-yaaah, it looks like a "BigFoot" Pinata hung up on a phone line there. Yee-ya.

All and all, nice website. Or page.

I grew up in Everman. Yep, it's small, just like a lot of other small towns around the outskirts of this area. I think the fact that Everman proper is a couple of miles off of both 20 and 35 is a huge reason why it has little retail development. Outside of the 5000 or so people who live in town, most people could get to Burleson, Forest Hill, or the Alta Mesa area as quick as they could get into Everman. The town itself is going to be built out as far as homes go before long.

ornery leaders of Everman never wanted to grow.

they always insisted they wanted to "stay a small town" and "keep the small town feel"

sounds as if they got their wish!

[DrkLts]

I agree Buck

Everman just puzzles me. It's right there in the southeastern corner of south 820 and I-35, not like its in the middle of nowhere, and never prospers. I mean everyone around it like Forrest Hill, Mansfield, Burleson and the south tip of Fort Worth just grows and expands. Like JBB said, all those surrounding cities are quick to get to from Everman, but its still odd that progress is being made all around it BUT Everman itself. Where its located, somthing has to spill into the city limits. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Go Everman Bulldogs!

What happens to RV demand when gas /diesel hits $5/gallon?

[JBB]

And by that you mean later on this week, right?

[Stadtplan]

The odd thing about this site is it is within earshot of Alpine Shooting Range. That will make for a peaceful morning.

[JBB]

Having grown up 3 miles from Alpine, I can tell you there's a lot of houses within earshot.
