Staying in McKinney and spent the day driving around Blue Ridge,Rockwell,Royce City....etc.
It is nice country out there.
Time for a beer (or two). :-)

Didn't care for a year in Ft. Worth or another year in Plano/Richardson.
Dallas downtown is boring after you have seen the Depository.
But I might move there anyway -- no income tax and very central so it would be easier to fly places.

take me back please! I miss D/FW.

Spent 5 years in San Angelo as a kid.
I've had my fill of Texas. Plenty of other area's in the US that I'd rather live.

Downtown Dallas is meant to be boring. That's why everything is some place else.

Thank God for the Garmin getting me out of DFW airport.....not used to having 5 or 6 lanes of traffic.

DFW is a triumph of arrogance over design.

Actually, DFW is a triumph of compromise over idiocy.

I guess I can`t speak to either but it certainly was a lot more sprawling then any of the limited number of airports I have ever been in.

It is more sprawling than most countries.
Also, it was a land deal between the Governor of Texas and his friend who owned the land. That is why it is so far away from Dallas (who gives a shit about Ft. Worth) with so much open speace between Dallas and the airport.

When it was being planned and built back in the late 1960's and early 1970's, it was out in the open. It isn't any longer. There are no "open spaces" outside the airport.
I knew one of the "civic leaders" (family friend) who gave up quite a lot to see DFW become a reality. It was a convoluted process that stretched from Austin to Washington, D.C.
The Dallas DFW airport board had no choice but pretend Ft. Worth was important to the process. There was no room in Dallas county for such a project, even in the south. It ended up where it is for a very good reason. It has worked out well.

For everyone. It changed the course of aviation in north America, changed the scope and future of the DFW area making the impossible possible, and, best of all, pissed off Chicago no end.

Put me on 98 anywhere on the panhandle of Florida and I'm in heaven.
