Talent and creativity are abundant at Valley View Senior Living!

Valley View Senior Living at 1002 King Arthur Drive, Harlingen, TX 78550 has a certain special resident who spends most of his time building wooden classic cars. Mr. Vernon C., also known as Jimmy, has been making cars in his own style since 2003. In fact, most of his time is spent creating all kinds of wooden cars in his apartment.

“Jimmy is amazing and extremely talented,” shares Independent Living Manager, Lillia Briones. “We are so honored to have such a creative artist in our community.”

Jimmy has also been kind enough to sell his works of art for $20 each. If you are interested in a unique car handmade by Jimmy, feel free to contact Valley View for more information!
