Places to not live: Euless, South Ft Worth, South Dallas, Oak Cliff, West Ft Worth is ok just not near anything, Irving, Richardson, Dallas (except maybe north east)
Have them give me a freep mail if they want any more information.
I agree completely with not living in Useless, I mean Euless, but totally disagree with your opinion of South Fort Worth.
First off, for all you foreigners out there (i.e. anyplace outside of Texas), Fort Worth is where the West began, and Dallas is where the East...peters out!
The South West side of Tarrant County (Fort Worth) is a great place to live---and DRIVE in. Unlike driving ANYWHERE in crowded Dallas or in the hectic North East part of Tarrant County, the traffic is MUCH LESS on the South West side of town---except the Hulen St. area...and they're building a Krispy Kreme shop just North of Hulen at Grandbury Rd.
BELIEVE ME...you will get to work in just a FRACTION of the time in SW Fort Worth than pretty much ANYWHERE else in the DFW area. And the drivers and shoppers are MUCH friendlier in SW Fort Worth than ANYWHERE else in the DFW area.
I've been to MANY different Churches: Disciples of Christ, Catholic, Baptist, Morman, Methodist, Presbyterian (sp?), and Episcopal. I've even been to Jewish services and Messianic Jewish services (the Messianic Jewish services are actually kind of neat).
The best Church I've EVER found is SOUTHCLIFF BAPTIST CHURCH, located at I-20 at Granbury Rd---BAR NONE!!! I think there are something like 30 different types of ministries, e.g. for disabled kids (and respite nights for their parents 2x/month), unplanned pregnancy help, shut-ins, foreign and domestic missionaries, etc.
There is a a beautiful sounding FULL ORCHESTRA pretty much every Sunday---not canned music. There are some of the best singers I've heard in a Church. There is a FELLOWSHIP among the Church Members that I have longed for all my life...If you need help, the Members are right there for you!
And the Paster is fantastic! I remember sermons from when we first attended (2 years ago or so). Check it out: http://www.southcliff.com. And if you're going to be in town on 12/04, 12/07, or 12/11, FReep Mail me and you can come to our FANTASTIC SINGING CHRISTMAS TREE program...I've got some extra tickets, but they go fast. God is definately present at that program!
And last, but not least, there is a political saying that "As goes Tarrant County, so goes Texas and so goes the Nation." I've found it to be true for years.
Euless is a fine place to live, since I live here. Nice neighborhoods, and the area I live in is in the Grapevine/Colleyville School District without the Colleyville housing costs.
Maybe you've singled out the areas you've singled out because we, along with the others, live alongside black people.
My black neighbors are some of my best neighbors.
What's wrong with Irving and the surrounding area? I travel there on business frequently, and from what I've seen it's a pretty nice area.
