An unused plot at a busy WF intersection to finally find a use

It’s a piece of land that has stood noticeably vacant on one of Wichita Falls’ busiest retail intersections for years. It appears it won’t be vacant much longer. The land, less than an acre at the intersection of Call Field Road and Lawrence Road, became the property of the city of Wichita Falls in 2011 when the city realigned the busy intersection. While businesses sprouted up around it, it remained barren, a desert in a retail forest. Part of the reason was the city being very choosy about what could be built on it. In 2022, the city posted a long list of no-nos for the acreage that included gas stations, pawnshops or check-cashing businesses. The city put it on the auction block on March 17, 2022. Smokestack Investments of Austin had the winning bid of $926,000. Wichita Appraisal District records show the land is owned by Desperado Investments LLC and is valued on the tax rolls at $864,000.

Study reveals unhealthy profile of Wichita Falls residents

A study of Wichita Falls' collective health conducted by Blue Zones LLC claims residents of the city have high rates of tobacco use, are physically inactive, have poor diets, suffer from high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and are obese. The numbers are in comparison to national and state figures as well as communities that participate in Blue Zones initiatives. The findings were revealed in a virtual forum conducted online Nov. 9 by Blue Zones LLC, a for-profit company headquartered in Edina, Minnesota. United Regional Health Care Systems sponsors the Blue Zones initiative in the city. URHCS CEO Corey Edmondson said in August Blue Zones considered coming to Wichita Falls “because we are one of the most unhealthy counties in Texas.” The study, available at bluezoneswichitafallsreport.com claims Wichita Falls adults have high rates of diabetes and depression but comparatively low rates of cancer.

Amelia Cabots, chief operations officer for Blue Zones, said the purpose of her company is “to empower everyone everywhere to live longer.” She said Blue Zones conducted 101 local meetings, including meetings with 49 organizations; led
