The history of Falcon is fascinating. It began in the late 1880s as just a crossing point of two railroads. Less than 10 years later, it blossomed into a small town on the eastern plains.After reading descriptions of Falcon’s early beginnings at www.wikipedia.com, pictures of Little House on the Prairie’s Walnut Grove came to mind; complete with a school, a blacksmith shop and a couple of general stores.Today, Falcon has grown in both a residential as well as a commercial aspect, with many modern conveniences. But what’s missing? A community center? A movie theater? More restaurants?This month’s Streetwise asks the people of Falcon what’s on their wish list of things they would like to see in this small but growing community.

 | Brandi Cole PeytonA Wells Fargo bank. I dislike commuting to get to one. Oh, and a real Starbucks. Like an actual store you can go in. |
| Tiffany Brewer FalconTexas Roadhouse. We need a good steakhouse. |  |
 | Matthew Heitman CalhanA zoo, then we wouldn’t have to travel so far into the Springs. I like to look at the giraffes – they’re my favorite. |
