Plano named one of the 10 best places to grow up

Collin Gouldin, says:

So THAT'S why i turned out so good. :-)

Pavel Lishin, says:

Well, it's a bunch of suburbs, a bunch of parks, and a bunch of schools. If you're a kid, great. If you're me, you're already loathing your harpy of a wife that made you buy a house in the middle of nowhere, not even a bar within walking distance, and god, the kids are home, time to pour myself another vodka vodka.

Pav,it is not that bad,when you think about crime and immigrants, walking downtown who are really...out to find a new problem...The inner citie's were safe last year, now I am wondering, Plano is not such a bad ideal, besides the train trip is great and the little town has charm , you can actually go to a place an eat without some immigrants...problems...A/T. Sign of the times.......

Jason Rice, says:

::in driving distance of Cowboys games

more like -- "a safe distance from Cowboys games"

I also liked the fact that Cedar Rapids made the list... Yeah, the place that was completely flooded and under water about this time last year. (No not the FEMA trailer perople, the boring northerners.)

alexander troup, says:

Jason you on the right map while seeing is knowing, Cedar Rapids and Plano...How about Allen too, time to invent the space shuttle ship to get to all of these places in the 4 quadraplex...and shake Jerry's big...hand too. I love Plano and it will love you...oh no bikes please....A/T, Times are changing...

alexander troup, says:

No monkey bean they are concerned folks as we all should know the Inner City is having a tuff time, while last week I was attacked by an immigrant, I felt like hey who is running this town, now I go to Allen on my way out to Plano to work on a secret project and bam...I feel safe......A/T, I did fix stupid....

Jason Rice, says:

::running for mayor?

alexander troup, says:

Stick with best dressed director Mr Rice and the town will hold you for ever.....A/T, A Pegsus Pioneer to Plano...

Travis Bush, says:

No mention of the draw bridge?

Jason Rice, says:

Draw bridge - actually almost all of them have them. We just lack a river as a mollifying excuse to appease our neighbors, a distinction we share with Overland Park.

Russ Vandeveerdonk, says:

I hear they have a pretty nice theatre up there with great plays to watch as well!! Rover-Dramawerks? :)

Jason Rice, says:

::Russ, your check is in the mail::

Now if we could just get you to audition!

Jesus Valadez, says:

I feel so left out in this discussion.

david torres, says:

PLANO BABY !!!! Jesus, this isn't like the Love Field, I grew up in!!! Even Old East Plano, isn't bad !!!

alexander troup, says:

Plano has mellowed, And became a 35 year old community.....While it was an old cotton town in the 1900's, it has held on to its plain old feelings ...which made a come back a couple of years ago..and in the 1920's it was the home of flying bootleggers...now with the DART rail it's something good for the county...A/T,... The drawbridge is open to Plain O.

david torres, says:

I remember when I worked at the Tom Thumb in old Town, in the late 70's, Plano seemed like 100 miles away. Wasn't UTD, the University of Plano, at one time? I don't remember going north of Campbell, in those days.
