Flower Mound's front entrance -- I hope it's not what I fear
I've always hated the fact that we allowed that Best Buy/Maytag facility to occupy the front door of Flower Mound, at 2499 and Old Gerault. It's ugly, and it's a bunch of trucks. I'm glad the facility is here in FM, don't get me wrong, but why couldn't it have been placed further up along Gerault or on Lakeside Parkway east of Morriss.
Now I fear it's getting worse. There's a lot of construction going on, and it appears to me they're building more of that storage/shipping space. But now it's right up along 2499.
While the existing warehouses are ugly, at least they're set off the road just a bit. If you put in some trees or other landscaping, then there's a chance that 2499 drivers wouldn't see this monstrosity. But this new construction comes right to 2499.
I hope I'm wrong, and I hope they're building something more aesthetically pleasing. Otherwise, I fear our Town slogan might be something like this:
"Welcome to Flower Mound -- Home of the Fanciest Warehouses in America"
There's still hope this will all turn out looking great when Lakeside and Silveron are built up. But for now, I'm still worrying a lot about the southside of our Town.
Update Sunday 9/10: Here's a image of what the building is supposed to look like, I'm told. Not quite the massive loading dock you see now from FM2499, so this is an improvement of sorts, as long as its owner Hillwood builds it to match this drawing. It will be interesting to see how this looks when it's up.

Right after we drive in and pass those fancy warehouses....we are going to get to pass the large 2499 sound wall that is coming soon...YUK! I am not thrilled about what is happening in FM. We moved here because we loved the country feel driving up 2499.....
