City of Wylie Website

"The Nitzes incorporated many aspects of modern Wylie culture into their design: a determined young girl rides front and center in the annual Pedal Car Race, and Mayor Eric Hogue is depicted, along with local businessman Raymond Cooper, who’s driving the train. Landmarks and businesses such as the Brown House, Wylie Flower and Gift and The Wylie News are included and, in honor of the special anniversary, the number “125” is hidden throughout."
