Well, let me add another 2 cents. It's happening all over Texas. People are moving to Texas in droves. They think they will live like kings in huge houses on tiny lots. All the beautiful countrysides of Texas are being leveled for chain stores and gaudy houses. I am in Weatherford and can see see the boom looming over us. Soon we will be leveled like Southlake and Keller. Old will be replaced by poor taste. Out-of-staters will insist on air conditioned shopping 24 hours a day. They will bring their overindulged children and rude mannerisms with them. Alas...
