Antiques Texas City will be open Thursday, Friday & Saturday Hours 11am to 5pm

Merry Christmas from all of Us to all of You!

2012 has been our best year in Texas City



Business patterns change

Folks spending habits are changing

If you don't change...
you're going home empty handed.



For most of us, this is the first thing we see,
our alarm clock waking us up for work.

As the year draws to it's close

I think about how we earn our living here in Texas City

It brings us a lot of joy in life

Meeting new people and making friends with other collectors who enjoy window shopping.

Business is Booming in Texas City, Texas from Rust & Dust to Blessings & Bargains We are bringing new money & opportunity to the Heart of a city moving from Dullsville to Disneyland

Dullsville to Disneyland

Last January our downtown business district looked similar to downtown Berlin 1946.

Now it's slowly progressing along with a new concrete road , double wide side walks and retro style street lights.

  
I've made some interesting observations about business activity in our city from Thanksgiving to our approaching Christmas Holiday.

The thing that appears most fascinating is the number of people who travel on foot.

There used to be more bike riding enthusiasts , but even on warm weather days you'll only see two or three grown Men pedaling down 5th Avenue North.

One of the regular Elderly Bike Riders has a Beach Cruiser with a big basket, he's a devoted Angler sporting fishing poles, tackle box & a white bucket.

We have a new street running through downtown

Please visit our friends Debbie & Keith
at Rust and Dust




RUST & DUST
6th Street North
Texas City, Texas, 77590

Open Wed, Thurs, Fri & Saturday

Hours 10:00am to 5:00pm

Located near intersection of
6th Street North & 16th Avenue North.

Keith restores Cushman Scooters and Cushman Trucksters

He has a large collection of Project Cushman vehicles and a nice selection of restored Cushman's ready to show or go!

Debbie has quality used furniture, housewares, home decor, all the neat things our Grandparents had ...even nifty collectibles from the 1950's & 1960's.

Rust and Dust is a family owned business.

Debbie and Keith invested their own time and life savings in their business.

They survived Hurricane Ike despite heavy flood and wind damage to their home.

After the Bank Crash of October 2008, they remained opened.

True Texas Pioneers in the classic sense.

Self reliant, independent small business owners who built their own business without any Federal Cheese or Chicago Pork



Texans like us know that if you don't work, you don't eat.

In our world we provide goods and services.

We do it because there is a need.

As we move towards 2013

Think about a City like Dullsville

A place were all the windows and doors are boarded up.

Roofs of building caved in from standing water.

Weeds overgrown in parking lots with gates & fences falling over.

A town where Strange Characters cut down the 
electric lines & telephone wires.

Don't let Texas City end up looking like Dullsville

We are bringing Disneyland to the 146 Loop one storefront at a time.

Small business does what no Goverment Agent can do.

We restarted the Merchant Economy on the 146 Loop running through the old part of the downtown Texas City business district.

From Rust & Dust to Antiques Texas City

Business is coming back to life

Visit Debbie and Keith and meet the hardest working married couple I've ever seen

Texas Entrepreneurs who understand that Customer Service is the key to success.
