Salado’s Main Street has been the Main Street of Texas forever, it seems. It was the Old Military Road and then Highway 81 before I-35 was ever conceived. It was a feeder trail on the Chisholm Trail during the cattle drives that links the image of Texas with that of the Longhorn and the Cowboy.
Now, thanks to John Barclay and Salado artist Ronnie Wells, Salado’s Main Street is further connected to the mythos of Texas and the Texas cowboy.

Salado Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 110 N. Main St. at about 4:40 a.m. to find the building completely engulfed in flames. The fire did not spread to other structures on the property, which houses Wild Angels Boutique. The fire fighters were able to save the building next door as flames had spread to the roof and attic of the neighboring property. Main Street was blocked off at the intersections of Thomas Arnold and Blacksmith Rd. Fire Chief Jim Franz told Salado VIllage Voice that he had not yet determined the cause of the fire.

“It’s not a matter of ‘if,’” Bell County Judge David Blackburn said last week, “it’s a matter of when they are found and what the impact will be when they are found.”
Judge Blackburn was talking about what he calls “creepy crawlies.” These aren’t the cute teddy bears or the American Eagle or other species that have been saved from extinction.
