I think many people in McDade thought it would stay small and it still is. McDade also had a school that went from kindergarten to 6th grade when I was growing up. Now it has a high school and a football team. Elgin and Bastrop have grown considerably through the years. I fully expect McDade to have a 2 or 3A high school during my lifetime.

Some of the surrounding ranches near my parents have been sold and broken into 10 acre or so plots. These plots have new homes on them. It's just weird everytime I visit seeing it all.
My grandfather grew up in McDade. We've held a few family reunions there over the years. I've always though of moving there at some point. For the foreseeable future though, divorce decree keeps me in DFW.

I may know him or the family name. Lots of nice homes were built on Brown Rd headed in the Star Ranch direction. A new home was built across the Lutheran church. A few homes on Lexington Rd too which is past the Star Ranch exit
