McMansion neighborhoods surrounded by WalMart-Kohls-Target-Home Depot shopping centers, with the same chains of restaurants: Olive Garden, TGI Fridays, Starbucks, Red Lobster, blah, blah, blah.

So true. Arlington, North Richland Hills, Plano, Mesquite. They're almost identical.

I used to enjoy the occasional Saturday shopping excursion but no longer.

Now it's an all day ordeal of traffic jams, big box retailers full of overpriced junk and crowded chain restaurants serving lame food.

*shudder*

I can't wait to get out of here.

I can't wait to get out of here.

And go where? That's the question.
