The Grapevine Glockenspiel, featuring the Would-Be Train Robbers, is one of the city’s unique attractions. Watch an exciting confrontation every day between larger-than-life mechanical figures.

The year is 1890. Nat and Willy are two animatronic characters that emerge from the clock tower in downtown Grapevine, Texas. A discussion, leading to an argument ensues between the two about robbing the incoming Cotton Belt train carrying a large payroll. The argument ends in a gunfight with one of the characters being wounded, and the train never getting robbed.

Nat Barrett - Born on the Grapevine Prairie in 1861, Nat left home at 16 to pursue his dream of earning enough money to buy a cattle ranch. He joined the big cattle drives, and his savings grew— until the drives abruptly stopped because railroads were taking cattle directly to Chicago. Out of work, his savings vanished, Nat plans to snatch the $60,000 cash box from the train headed to the Fort Worth Stockyards auction. The train is scheduled to stop in Grapevine first, and that’s when he will make his move. No one will get hurt and Nat can buy his ranch and never cross the law again.

Willy Majors - Willy was born to an itinerant family in 1829. Always a drifter, he bounced around from job to job, always managing to wind up on the shady side of the law. He was involved in riverboat gambling and a few stage coach and train robberies. He joined a gang, but left it because he didn’t want to hurt people—just rob them. Willy heard about the big cash box when he was gambling in Fort Worth and decided to rob the train when it stops in Grapevine. Then, he will head to Galveston and take the first steamer out of there to his new life of respectability.
See the action as these larger-than-life figures emerge just before the clock prepares to strike noon and 6 p.m.
No matter who wins, they learn that train robbery doesn’t pay!

From: Mary Frances Burleson, President and CEO of Ebby Halliday Realtors
RE: MARKET GROWTH AND STABILITY
The national real estate market is improving every day.
RealtyTrac, a firm that tracks foreclosures nationwide, reports that new foreclosures declined 7% in September.
And, more recently, CNN Money reported that Barclays Capital has forecast that home prices could be back to the peak levels of 2007 as soon as 2015. Barclays also predicts new home construction “will grow by at least 20% a year for the next two years.”
Closer to home, NTREIS MLS data reflects a 20% increase in closed sales volume for September 2012 over September 2011.
And, at the Ebby Halliday Companies, sales volume in October was up an astounding 36% over 2011, setting an all-time record for the month of October and marking ten straight months of sales increases when compared to the previous year.
That’s real growth, and a strong indication of increasing stability and improvement in the local real estate market for 2013 and beyond.
Our hats are off to the exceptional Ebby Halliday Companies’ Associates who clearly lead the Dallas / Fort Worth and North Texas market! Many thanks to each of you for your professionalism and your exceptional performance!
