Got to see it for the first time this weekend. North Dallas has changed so much. Where are all the people coming from that live in Prosper, Frisco and McKinney? Frisco doesnt look anything like it used to. Even Celina now has a "subdivision". I have to get back to Dallas more often. I miss it.

LOL, I bought an Explorer this weekend at Troy Aikman Ford in Dallas. One of the salesman asked me who my team was and I said Spurs. He was going to give me a Mavs magnet to put on my car but since I said Spurs he said I couldnt have one.

That High Five Project got done REALLY quickly. It was very impressive how fast they completed it.

Frisco will be the size of Plano when it's all said an done and the next boomtowns are Prosper and Little Elm. The people that move into Prosper, Frisco, McKinney, Little Elm, Corinth, et. al are the same people that want to live in Dallas but not "in Dallas." You'd be surprised at the number of folks from California moving to Texas.

Dallas has a goal to get people back into the city...living and working. They are doing a good job of it too as you see more stuff in Uptown and near the Victory center right by the AAC.

Deion Sanders' house is amazing. Kinda weird seeing a "big timer" in little ole Prosper Tx. My older brother says he has Sunday Services at his house so he can write it off of his taxes. I dont know if I believe him or not. He also was trying to get me to believe that Terrell Owens was born in the back of a Cadillac Eldorado since his middle name is Eldorado. :thinking:

I live about half a mile from the High Five and it's a very impressive road structure. I loving coming eastbound on 635 from Addison at night and being able to look at all the cars on the High Five and the Interstate Batteries building changing colors...it's just great!
