The Carroll ISD board of trustees unanimously approved its next step to sell the CISD property located on 801 Shady Oaks Drive, which is where Don T. Durham Intermediate School is located, at its Feb. 23 board meeting.

What’s happening? The board is issuing a request for qualifications to find property broker services to aid the district with the eventual selling of the property, which won’t be done until the 2027-28 school year.

“Selling government surplus property is ... time consuming, and there’s a lot of steps that we have to take to legally be able to sell property,” Superintendent Jeremy Glenn said.

The request for broker services will be posted for three weeks to see who is interested in helping the district sell the property, Glenn said. Once they get the applications back, district officials will bring the board of trustees a declaration to sell the surplus property after the board declares the property surplus.

Los Amigos Grapevine celebrated its 30th anniversary.
The Grapevine Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the occasion on Feb. 27.

A closer look: Owner Arturo Gutierrez said he purchased the Mexican restaurant in February 1996. He mentioned that Northwest Highway was once a two-lane road and how much it has changed over the years.
Gutierrez thanked his staff, saying multiple employees have been there for a decade or longer. One of his servers has been there almost 30 years, hired just months after Gutierrez bought the building.

The details: Los Amigos Grapevine offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. He said some of the most popular items now are street tacos and quesabirria. When the business opened, he said enchiladas were a big draw.
The menu also includes tortas, flautas, fajitas, tamales, taco salads and carne asada.
