My wife and I visited my parents here in the early 1990's,the sales center was those multi color across 27/441 (I think they are dentists/doctor offices now). The square was a big tent with a dance floor in it. My memory is a little fuzzy but I do remember giving my 3 daughters (now all in their mid/late twenties) money to buy trinkets from the vendors on what was "market night" back then.

We came back a couple years later and they were just starting to rough in Spanish Springs.

My Dad and I played Hacienda, there were only two nines then. There were all of these streets laid out, just a few houses and the black fences and cattle. I remember saying to my self "Wow!, these people really dream big...who is going to buy all of this stuff?" I guess the rest is history.
