Great places to live for sure. But having to move. Wish home prices were still what they were in the summer. Resilient yes, but like everywhere, real estate is tumbling.

When I lived in Frisco it was 550 people. The hs was statistically the worse in the stat by graduation rate. I have not been there in 30 years. It was the ***hole of the state in 1978.

That’s great. My lake Southeast of there is doing well.
In fact, most of Texas is doing good.

Well at least the one good thing is they really know how to do the lights thing. You’d think it was already Christmas with the lights in our neighborhood.

>>it was 550 people.

And the high school mascot was the Coons.

To be PC, they had to change it to the Raccoons.

Never heard of Frisco

Pro soccer team, pro baseball team (Double A), a couple of Bowl games, an indoor stadium for the high school teams. Pro football team headquartered there. Used to have a velodrome, but I think that bit the dust. It's the location of choice for sports fans. Upscale suburb of Plano.

If it’s all Indians now, probably a hotbed of Natl Merit Scholar finalists and Natl Spelling Bee competitors.

I was shocked to see FC Dallas’ stadium full for their playoff game, I’ve never seen it sold out before. I’ve been to a few games, but it’s always maybe 3/4ths filled at best.

I’m right on the edge. Kid has competed with them in various academic activities. DAMN, they cheat like crazy. Seems to be no cultural shame about it at all.

And to attract developers to the area, they had to get rid of all the hot tub houses along State Highway 121.
