when I worked with a contractor we used to go to some steel mill in Midlothian. Damn, that was a little town and was just in the early 2000s. Rockwall used to be tiny back then. Even Garland was like the end of civilization. Rowlett was like all horse farms. Hard to believe they will be 5A this year. And yeah, most of 5A is moving to the new 6A so Cedar Hill, DeSoto, all of them are moving up.

It's crazy how Midlothian and Waxahachie was Cedar Hill biggest rivals in 90's. Now it's Desoto and Duncanville.

Dallas, Texas
:what: whoever says Dallas ain't diverse don't get out enough
Nightlife is cool here. Definitely not compared to NY, LA, Atl, Mia etc
If you're trying to start a family you'll love it here. Cheap big house etc
But if you single and like clubbin there are obviously better options
Overall a great city. BUT if you don't like rubbing elbows with white people you won't get the full experience.....probably won't like it

Black population in mesquite is going up, white population going down :blessed:

I stay in Fort Worth from my perspective:

The ratchet/hoodrat chicks are stuck up, but the classy women are a little bit more friendly. Just a little.

People try to scheme and scam at every turn, so watch who you associate with.

The traffic is horrible and depending on construction or accident you could be waiting in traffic for a minute.

Cost of living is amazing. I work at a blue collar job and I manage ok.

Amazing restaurants and bars

Clean environment

The weather is bipolar

All my yrs in dallas traffic aint been a problem for me, yall need to learn the alternate routes, especially for rush hr. Wanna avoid 75 traffic go down greenville ave. Wanna avoid 35 go down riverfront. Wanna avoid the mess that is 635 go forest ln.

Dallas-area brehs. Just locked in a house in Grand Prairie (just north of Joe Pool Lake). Was looking residential in the city, but didn't want a 60 year-old house. Any thoughts on the GP area?
GP is okay but its not as consistent as the other areas in dallas plus its more out the way from the city of dallas. The property taxes out there Is high though
