Splash Amarillo Waterpark

Splash Amarillo Waterpark was a waterpark located in Amarillo, Texas. It was originally built as FireWater Waterpark in May 2000. It sat on a 13-acre (53,000 m2) site just half a mile down Interstate 40 from the Big Texan Steak Ranch. Attractions consisted of a 14,000-square-foot (1,300 m2) wave pool, 845-foot (258 m) long lazy river, a tower housing six separate slides, kids pool, and kids play tower. It also features a gift shop, concession stand, volleyball courts, and an arcade. It closed in 2016, and all the slides were relocated to a new park in Plainview called Royal Splash Texas, which opened in 2017. History Construction Groundbreaking for the formerly named FireWater Waterpark began on May 7, 1999. It was constructed at a cost of $3.7 million on a 21-acre (85,000 m2) site, but it itself would only cover 13 acres (53,000 m2) of the complex. Missouri Valley Inc. of Amarillo was the general contractor of the project. The construction was completed well before the set opening date of May 6, 2000. Bankruptcy FireWater Waterpark came under scrutiny in 2002 after it failed to repay loans taken during the original construction of the park. While park president Gary Abramson claimed to be in the process of securing long-term financial backing for it, Satana Corporation sued it for $2.16 million. The suit claimed it signed a promissory note and that investors even ignored written payment demands sent directly to them. Eventually, it was forced into bankruptcy after Missouri Valley Inc. filed a bankruptcy petition. It was reopened in May 2003 under completely new management and ownership and renamed Splash Amarillo. Fire In July 2009, the park experienced a fire inside a building which houses lockers, dressing rooms, restrooms, a concession stand, and maintenance room. Over 200 park patrons were forced to evacuate after witnesses reported a water heater had caught on fire. The fire caused over $70,000 in damage after spreading from the first floor to the attic. Park president Paul Johnson claimed that the building was not insured. As of June 2011, it has been refurbished and is functioning again.

Spring (building)

Spring is a 43-story, 132 m (433 ft) tall condominium in Austin, Texas. Upon its completion in 2009 it became the 3rd tallest building in Austin and the tallest building in the West End. The tower currently stands as the 14th tallest in the city. It was designed by Vancouver–based architect Foad Rafii. The architect of record was Morris Architects and Pentagram was the graphic designer of the project. Spring was the first point tower in Austin, a term referring to a slender tower above a large, mid-rise base. Spring is known for its prominence in the West End skyline, being the furthest west skyscraper in Austin. The tower was also the first building in Austin to feature an in-slab HVAC exhaust system, in which the exhaust air from the building is carried through horizontal ductwork cast into the floor plates and the building's perimeter, rather than being exhausted vertically to the roof. The tower's main structure is made of cast in place concrete. Austin Energy has given Spring a green rating. Facilities The skyscraper features a handful of amenities, many of which are located on the 5th floor deck. This includes a pool, spa, and grills. The building's design combines a concrete parking base with a large glass atrium lining the tower with windows and balconies, anchoring the west side of the Austin skyline.

Spring Valley station (DART)

Spring Valley station is a DART rail station in Richardson, Texas. The station is located on Spring Valley Road, approximately 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) east of North Central Expressway (US 75). It serves the Red Line and, during peak periods, the Orange Line. The station serves southern Richardson, including the headquarters of fashion company Fossil Group. The station is adjacent to Brick Row, a mixed-use development which contains apartments, townhomes, condominiums, and retail space. History An elevated station on Spring Valley Road was first proposed and approved in 1997. The station was expected to serve commuters on Spring Valley, including the then-headquarters for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. The city of Richardson sought a state grant to build a pedestrian bridge between the station and local businesses, but no bridge was ever built. The station was constructed as part of the Red Line's second expansion, which stretched from Walnut Hill to Galatyn Park. Construction of the extension started in 1999. The station was decorated with a floral theme and two 10-foot (3.0 m) brick sculptures. The extension was opened to revenue service on July 1, 2002. Development Shortly before the station opened, the City of Richardson announced a study to determine development plans around Spring Valley station, Arapaho Center station, and a proposed station in downtown Richardson. In 2004, the city announced the creation of the Spring Valley Station District, a 61-acre mixed-use development zone in the area surrounding the station. In 2006, plans were announced for Centennial Park, a 30-acre project directly east of the station in the Spring Valley Station District. The development would include apartments, townhomes, and condominiums for a total of 950 residences. In 2008, shortly after construction began, the development was renamed Brick Row.

St. Laurence Catholic Church (Amarillo, Texas)

St. Laurence Catholic Church, formerly St. Laurence Cathedral, is a parish church in the Diocese of Amarillo located in Amarillo, Texas, United States. It served as the cathedral church of the Diocese of Amarillo from 1975 to 2011. History On June 12, 1949, public Masses on Sundays and holy days began at St. Lucien’s Chapel at Price College in Northeast Amarillo. More than 40 people attended the first Mass. These Masses led to the establishment of St. Laurence Parish in 1955. St. Laurence School began before the parish, however. Ground was broken for a three-room school building on April 18, 1954. The school opened in September of that year with 71 students in two grades. The parish itself was started on May 16, 1955. The Rev. Leroy Matthiesen was named the first pastor. The parish gathered at St. Lucien’s until the church was built. After a capital campaign surpassed its $100,000 goal, ground was broken for a building meant to be a temporary church in early 1959. Bishop John L. Morkovsky dedicated the new church on December 2, 1959. The parish continued to grow throughout the 1960s, but it was affected by the closing of Amarillo Air Force Base in 1968. The parish lost 600 families, and enrollment at the school declined as costs rose. It was able to remain viable by the families and retired military personnel who remained. By the early 1970s Sacred Heart Cathedral in downtown Amarillo declined to 25 families, and it was determined to close the parish. St. Laurence Church, which had seating for 500, was the largest in town. It was also located on diocesan property, including the Chancery Office, the bishop’s residence, Alamo Catholic High School, and St. Francis Convent. On November 10, 1974, Bishop Lawrence M. DeFalco executed the decree from the Holy See naming St. Laurence Church as the diocese’s new cathedral. It was decided not to build a new cathedral but to remodel the existing structure. Fort Worth architect Paul Deeley and Santa Fe, New Mexico liturgical artist Andrea Bacigalupa created a new worship space in the old church. The old pews were given to Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Matador and St. Margaret Mary in Lamesa. The renovated church was consecrated as St. Laurence Cathedral on October 5, 1975. Paul Deeley won a first-place honor in 1977 at the Design Awards Program of the American Institute of Architects in Fort Worth for his work at St. Laurence. On March 25, 2011 St. Mary’s Church in Amarillo, which had dedicated a new church on September 11, 2010, was named by Pope Benedict XVI as the third cathedral for the Amarillo Diocese. St. Laurence reverted to the status of a parish church. See also List of Catholic cathedrals in the United States List of cathedrals in the United States References

St. Mark's Episcopal Church (San Antonio, Texas)

St. Mark's Episcopal Church is a historic church in San Antonio, Texas, United States. It is an Episcopal church in the Diocese of West Texas. History St. Mark's was founded as a parish in 1858. A previous attempt at organizing an Episcopal presence in the area had left a partially-built church on the site, which was taken over by the new parish. Construction was started and stopped several times, due to financial troubles and the outbreak of the Civil War. By 1873, the congregation had successfully finished the building, earning some income by renting the lower portion of the facility out for school purposes. The congregation was outgrowing the building, so construction began again in July 1873, and re-opening services were held on Easter in 1875. Once the church was fully finished and its debt paid off, St. Mark's was consecrated on St. Mark's Day: April 25, 1881. St. Mark's Church served briefly as a cathedral, designated for the specific assignment of incoming bishop Dr. Robert W.B. Elliott. A former Confederate soldier, Elliott was ordained in Georgia in 1868, and in 1874, was elected to serve as the first missionary bishop to the newly-formed diocese Missionary District of Western Texas. Elliott held the post of bishop until his death in 1887. Under his successor, James Steptoe Johnston, the Missionary District became the Diocese of West Texas, and St. Mark's reverted to its original status as a regular parish church. The modern church is located at 315 East Pecan Street in Travis Park, in the heart of the River Walk District and is only four blocks from the Alamo. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 12, 1998. Lady Bird Johnson and Lyndon B. Johnson were married at St. Mark's by Rev. Arthur R. McKinstry on November 17, 1934. The rector is the Reverend Beth Knowlton (called to be rector on May 20, 2014). St. Mark's belfry houses a bell that was cast in New York in 1874 from the remains of the "Come and Take It" cannon that ignited the Texas Revolution in 1835 at Gonzales, TX. The cannon; a six-pound, Spanish made, bronze, artillery piece was unearthed in 1852, inside the Alamo, after being spiked and buried by Mexican troops after the defeat of the Alamo by General Santa Anna and the Mexican army. On September 19, 2019, about 1 million pounds of scaffolding originally attached to the nearby AT&T building (which was undergoing renovations) collapsed onto the parish house of St. Mark's, causing significant roof and water damage and resulting in intensive renovation of the parish house.
