All of these namesappearedinthefield notes of Stephen F Austin’s surveyor E. R. Wightman Wightman madenoteofthemwhenhe surveyed the original land grants for the American colonists. The two traces that existed along the length of what is FM 149 today were the Coushatta Trace and the Contraband Trace. names original that was road or trace had existed along the course of present-day FM 149 that had been denominated as The Montgomery Trace” prior FM 149’s renaming.

a cup of PJ’s ‘Viennese Blend,’ one of their Dark Roast coffees, which would have helped against those Ninja sword wielding whiskys I tried a while back. Ienjoyedthearoma. It'satoastyreminderofthe coffeehouses of the Old World, and is PJ’s attempt to bring to Montgomery the unique balance and blend of Vienna roasted beans (with origins in Nicaragua and Honduras) so that tasters can enjoy in every cup that is brewed. At first to the untrained palate, you might get an espresso feel with the VB, butyouwillcometofindit

Next I tried a cup of ‘Maple Street Blend,’ which I envisioned would be perfect for those who don’t need to be jolted awake with the darker roasts It's a blend of Honduran and Brazilian beans, with it yielding a more floral and nutty aroma. MSBharkensback to1978andTheBigEasy whenPJ’sFounder,Phyllis Jordan,pouredherfirstcup of coffee on Maple Street, in The French Quarter; using high-quality beans and the best roasting method available The Maple Street Blend is a Crescent City original Each sip of this Medium Roast has a crisp, clean, and smooth finish to make agreatstarttotheday

Pj’s‘HazelnutBlend,’is much lighter for the younger palates that are getting into the coffee scene Perfect for any segment of the population
