Lived in Dallas till the late 90s and if Frisco is a suburb of big D then you might as well say Terrell is also
Or why not Denton or McKinney?
Yes I remember the cotton fields between Garland and Plano and other pleasant thoughts but you couldn’t pay me to live there now.
mckinney doesn’t seem to go after business aggressively. people here are still ticked we lost out on the Allen shopping mess at Stacey and 75. mckinney is just now getting an Aldi’s and Costco. The never ending argument in mck is where to build the parking garage in the square. sigh....
You missed a lot. Frisco is a Dallas suburb now, the Dallas North Tollway runs through it. After the next wave of development, McKinney will replace Anna (yes, Anna) as the furthest north suburb. Allen lost that position years ago. Denton is still too far away for the next decade or so, Terrell may achieve the status of Dallas suburb in about 20 more years.
I have family in Garland.
Every time I go there I just feel icky. I just do not like the place.
Lots of trash, per capita.
Frisco is a suburb of Dallas - solid development all the way up the Tollway from Dallas to the $5 billion dollar mile in Frisco. In fact, development is hot north of 380 in Prosper.
I wouldn’t call Denton a suburb, but it does have a commuter train to Carrollton where folks can switch to the light rail system into Dallas. (One more change of train will get you to Fort Worth). McKinney has been held back because Central expressway has been torn up between Dallas and McKinney at some point or another continuously since the 1980s and McKinney didn’t want to be on the rail system. It’s easier to get down the Rayburn toll road to DFW airport than it is to get to downtown Dallas. Perhaps McKinney should be called a suburb of Plano and Frisco.
Terrell probably isn’t a suburb of Dallas yet, although Rockwall certainly is.
