Since I have gotten into the Public Transportation in this Thread, I will elaborate a little more and I will get more into the Areas around some of the Highways and Things, some of the Towns are Old Mill Towns and Things too, there are Train Tracks that used to be more important before all the Highways were there, and some of those Paths have been used to make the DART Lightrail.

So, first, the DART is a Light Rail, and it is Electronic, it Stands for Dallas Area Rapid Transit, and Generally it is not exactly like say the New York Subway, which seems to be more of a Locomotive, and many, many Cars, the DART is 1-3 Cars, usually 2 Cars, 3 on Busy Days like Fair Time on Certain Tracks. But a lot of People can Ride it, the Cars of the Train each Hold like 30+ People or something. Usually it is not too Crowded, there are Busy Seasons and Busy Times, and Generally it is Safe. So this is something that many will want to know about the Light Rail when looking at it from the Outside. So, Generally, if you get a House that is by a Stop, you are Generally safe. That maybe could be expanded to much of the Tracks, but that is not to say that being off of the DART Tracks makes you safe, there could be some Places that are less safe to Live that are along the Tracks and not near a Stop. But most of it is Fine. The Further you get from the Public Transportation, the worse it can get. Because usually everyone around knows "DART Police, are REAL Police", that was actually a kind of Ad Campaign they had to do to Raise Awareness, but everyone pretty much knows that DART Police can Arrest you, and don't want to like mess around too much by the Tracks. There are now, some Exceptions. If we look at Bauchman Station, very often there are People here that are Forced off the Train, there are often some Angry People here sitting around doing nothing, and Drugs. This is where one of the DART Hubs is, kind of like an HQ apart from Akard Station, the Bus Port, and there are lots of Tracks so they can move the Trains around. There are People that find Places to Live all along the Train Line, so that is a Thing. They are just living in the Woods and Digging in Dumpsters for Trash, and Selling it for Meth, and Buying Tents and Tarps and whatnot.

These usually don't last forever, after COVID there has been kind of a Thing where Police want to allow People to Live in Abandoned Apartments and Condos and Everything, because there has been kind of a Problem, but I think it's Largely like a Meth Problem, and Fentanyl, and some kind of missing Things that you can even just Feel are missing and available on VanKushFamily.com, we are a big part of the Solution, we are in Dallas, TX, this is a post from Dallas about some of these Problems. But, Generally, if you were to Buy a House near a Station, there might be some kind of maybe Drug Addicts that ended up around, or someone Sleeping there, or maybe a Group ends up Sleeping there around somewhere and making Camp Fires and Things. But not in Collin County, there might be People Sleeping around, but there is less of the Roaming Drug Addicts. They are still there though, Plano has a lot more going on you could say than McKinney, McKinney is catching up, if you look at the Population Growth you can see. McKinney is more of a kind of Rich Community, Collin County in General is Wealthier, but a lot of People in Dallas know about Stone Bridge and Things.

But Basically, I'm saying that if you were to Buy a House Closer to a Station, you are Safer kind of than if you are Further out from the Station, or maybe a Safe Middle. Then the Bus is kind of Random, Wikipedia now has all of the Different SubStations, like the Bus Transfer Locations, and this has happened just within the Past few Years. You can get all Kinds of Things about DART off of Wikipedia now.

OVERALL

It is Generally safe to like Ride the Train and Ride with your Kids on the Train, usually People aren't going to Fuck with you but the Later it gets the Worse your Chances are, but it is Slim Chances, most People Ride the Train every Day and everything is Fine. You are supposed to Pay $3.00 for an AM or PM Ticket, or $2.00 for Mid-day, but if you are going just a few Stops, sometimes you can get away with looking at if there is a Grey Shirted Fare Checking DART Employee, or a DART Police that might Check, and not get on that Train. As long as you are not on the Train you can not get in Trouble for not having a Ticket, but they can ask you to leave the Station if you are unwilling to Buy a Ticket.

The Dangers are like someone on Drugs, or Worse, someone who isn't on Drugs and needs Drugs, and they have like a Knife or a Screwdriver, sometimes they have a Stolen Bike or a Backpack with Stolen Things in it. They might just be Crazy, there are all kinds of Crazies around Parkland Hospital, and a lot of those People are getting on the Train and are not contacting Doctors, are not trying to get Housing from the City, they are just on the Train getting High on Meth, or Shooting up Meth or Fentanyl or both.

Most of the Time nothing happens to Cars left at the Lots at the Light Rail Stations, but I'm not going to say no Cars have ever Been Stolen. If you have to take a Bus to get to Your Car, it's Safer, because People can get on the Train with no Ticket but you have to Buy a Ticket for the Bus unless their Meter is Broken. But the DART Train can Definitely be used to get around. A lot of People like to Part at Mockingbird and go Through the Tunnel. And Uptown Station is an interesting Station to walk around even though most People probably don't. But at Night it might be considered Dangerous, Uptown Generally is maybe a little more Safer. There is a Trade-off that happens where the Nicer People are to the like Panhandlers, the more they are like Hippies, and the Signs are kinda like you can see that they have Hope in Humanity when they Write them.

But it's Overall not Super Dangerous, T-Pain said Deep Ellum is the Hood, and that is on the DART Rail. Deep Ellum is where you might see like a Famous Band that People are listening to Right Now, like Pop Culture, but kind of like maybe Grungy. And there is a lot of Drinking and Crazy Shit that happens in Deep Ellum, it's kind of Different than other Areas in that there is a Bar, and a Club Next Store, and a Comedy Club on the Corner, and all across the Street is Bars, and the Next Street is Basically the same. It's kind of like how there are like Out Door Events that are on a "Main Street" or whatever, not a Parade, but like Everyone comes out for like an Art Festival, Deep Ellum is that Area.

I will get into the General like Radio Stations that are around Dallas, if anyone wants to Add some Please do. There are a few Christian Radio Stations, and they don't get Enough Listeners, mostly because People don't maybe Talk Enough about Christian Musicians Songs, if there were more like Discussion about the Meanings of the Lyrics and the Videos and Things, that would Translate into kind of the People who want to Listen to it out Loud not being so Embarrassed maybe, because actually if we get to it. There is something in that Shame Feeling, like being Afraid to do something in Front of Other People, it is similar to what I said about Britney Spears and how Writing her Book she has Probably Contributed to the World, though I have not Read it Yet, because she has been a Part of these kinds of Feelings we get. These Things God Sends, and Sometimes God wants you to be Afraid, Brooke Ligertwood or Brooke Fraiser/Fraser, she is on a Fear of God Tour maybe Right now Still.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzUBFqmDRUE

God sent Jonah into the Whale and gave him a Message, and Jonah went to Nineveh, and he told the People of Ninaveh something the Angels who came to Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19 could not tell the Citizens of those Cities, Jonah said "Look back to the Scriptures, look at the Punishment God Cast of THEM" and he pointed to Ebla, which is the Archaeological Site of Sodom and Gamorah, where the Premiere Civilization, like an Atlantis, in the Bronze Age in the Desert, like Delos before Delos or maybe around the same Time, and it was Struck out of Existence by a Meteor, or Fire from the Sky as Far as Science can tell Us. Jonah went to Ninevah, and he said "Turn from what you are doing, READ THE ANCIENT SCRIPTURES" and they did, and God did not Destroy Nineveh, because they Listened, because they Feared the Lord, because they knew that God would Punish them, they Felt that. And then Jonah, he Feels Shame because his Prophecy does not come True, so he is Ashamed to be seen in Town. And sometimes when you are Playing with a Ouija Board, or doing a Seance, or you Watch the Right Movie, and now you have to take out the Trash or take the Dog outside, sometimes that kind of little Bit of Fear can be there, God wants those Feelings to Lead you to him. There is nothing New Under the Sun, and all Designs Lead back to the Original Creation and it's Design, and nothing can Escape it. So if you Play Christian Music and Feel that Shame, God is Testing You, sometimes the Shame or Fear are Warnings, sometimes it is Tests. And there are more of these, some of them are Human, some of them are Dead People.

But now, having said all of that, I will get into some of the Radio Stations around Dallas.

106.1 Kiss FM, this Probably the Most Popular Station in Dallas, I Grew up Listening to it. It has like Everything, there used to be Kid Kradick but he Died I think, from Cancer unless I am Mistaken, they would do like "Hey, hey, what you got to say, Hollywoooooood... Hollywooooood..." because People in Texas would Call him Hollywood because he had Come from Hollywood or something. There is Kelly Raspberry still I think, she was on the Show before, and there are maybe some of the same People but I just remember those 2 names, I don't even Really Remember what they would talk about. This Station is Generally like all the Stuff that Everyone is Listening to all over, and this is like what DFW Listens to kind of, maybe not Everyone, but mostly. It's all the Female Music for sure, like Females in Dallas Listen to Kiss FM for sure, and then they have all kinds of Music. Between 8am and 8pm Every Hour you can Win $1,000 Listening to Kiss FM.

97.9 The Beat, this Station has all the Rap and Hip Hop Specifically usually, there were like Rock Stations that used to do Better, but I don't think there is now. Maybe the Country Stations, the Wolf Country came out of a Rock Station, but The Beat is Probably like Number 2 in the Dallas Area after Kiss FM. This one does NOT offer Money to Listen, they may have Contests and they may have like you can Win something Cool, but there are other Stations that do like $1,000 every Hr, if you are Listening all the Time. But the Beat is like the most Popular like we could Call Kiss FM and The Beat the most like not Generic, because they have all the New Stuff and can have it First somethings, these are like Big Stations that make Money and everything, but you could like Play these 2 Stations when People come over in Dallas and no one is going to ask you to Switch it Necessarily, unless they want to Listen to the other one kinda Thing. I think this also is where the Ricky Smiley Morning Show was when I was Listening to Radio all the Time Driving. 

Hot 93.3, this is a Newer Station and they maybe have been kind of Corrupted from what they should be but you don't have to like go Visit them at the Station, I'm just saying like if they Start getting big and doing events it might be something you have to sign like a Consent Form in Case you Die, it's meant to be like for Millennials to Young Girls really, but it is like Everything that we Listened to in Middle School and Everything. All of the Things that were on in DFW like 20 Years Ago on Kiss FM and Everything, they have it on this Station. And it is kinda like Geared Towards the Girl that is Grown and doesn't want to Stop Listening to Backstreet Boys and N*Sync, like that is their Actual kind of Target Audience in Particular.

Latino Mix  107.9/107.1, there are a lot of People around Dallas that don't Speak English, and there are Several Spanish Radio Stations, there is also like Univision and Telemundo and Things. But there are like Events and Everything just like the Other Radio Stations. They have all of the Newer Songs, like they had Justin Beiber when he did his Spanish Song and Everything. And Spanish Music has been having a lot happen kind of the same as other Things happenings around the Van Kush Family, it's Part of like a Global Thing happening.

I know KCBI is a Good Christian Station, 90.9 KCBI, and then there are others, 94.9 KLTY is one, 89.7 Way FM, KDFT 540 AM, AFR 90.5, KDKR Talk 91.3, Air1 101.7 FM, KDKR 97.5 FM, KWRD 100.7 FM, KEJC 104.1 FM, KKGM 1630 AM, KATH 910 AM, KJON 850 AM, KHVN 970 AM, KAAM 770 AM, KEXB 1440 AM. The Christian Radio Stations Generally Play the Best of Older Songs, but there are Newer Songs in there, but there aren't as many, and aren't as many Good ones, like Brooke Ligertwood/Fraser is one of the Leading Christian Musicians, there is a need for more Musicians to make Christian Songs and Things if they Believe that the Songs are something that they would Sing in like Church and Things, more Musicians should Consider Creating Songs for Christian Radio, the only Problem being that it might not do well on other Stations. But Kanye is in the Middle of Talking about that with Everyone Right now.

The Eagle is 97.1 KEGL, it's like Classic Rock. The Wolf is 99.5 KPLX, and there is New Country at 96.3. 92.5 KZPS is Rock, 102.1 KDGE is Rock. 97.1 the Freak does Giveaways. Alt 103.7 does Giveaways. 102.9 the Mix does Giveaways. 102.3 Star FM might do some Giveaways. There are Several Stations that do Giveaways.

Here is a Link to some of the iHeart Radio Stations where you can Win $1,000, you can Listen to Dallas Radio Stations from anywhere on the iHeart Radio App.

McKinney's Remarkable Growth Over the Past 15 Years

McKinney, Texas, has experienced significant growth and transformation over the past 15 years, evolving from a quaint town into one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation. This growth has been driven by various factors, including economic development, infrastructure improvements, and a surge in population. Let's delve into the history and factors that have contributed to McKinney's impressive growth trajectory.

Historical Roots

McKinney's history dates back to the mid-19th century when it was established as the county seat for Collin County. The original county seat was a town called Buckner. However, due to the Texas legislature's decision that the county seat needed to be within three miles of the geographic center of the county, McKinney was chosen as the new county seat after a vote. The town was named after Collin McKinney, a pioneer, land surveyor, and one of the signatories of the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico in 1836¹.

Rapid Population Growth

Recent data indicates that McKinney ranks as the 4th fastest-growing big city in the nation². This rapid growth can be attributed to several factors:

1. Economic Development: McKinney has seen a surge in businesses and industries setting up shop in the city, leading to job creation and attracting residents.
2. Infrastructure Improvements: The city has invested in infrastructure, including roads, public transportation, and amenities, making it an attractive destination for families and businesses.
3. Quality of Life: McKinney offers a blend of historical charm and modern amenities, making it a desirable place to live. The city boasts parks, recreational facilities, shopping centers, and cultural attractions.
4. Educational Institutions: The presence of quality educational institutions has also played a role in attracting families to McKinney.

Demographic Insights

McKinney's demographics have also evolved over the years. The city is home to a diverse population, with 74.6% White, 11.9% Black, 8.4% Asian, and 17.6% identifying as Hispanic³. The city has a high education level, with 92.3% of adults aged 25 and over having at least a high school degree or equivalent³.

Economic Indicators

The city's economic indicators are robust. The median household income in McKinney stands at $93,354³. The unemployment rate is at a low 3.2%³, and 90.0% of households have an active broadband internet connection³, indicating a tech-savvy population.

Conclusion

McKinney's growth over the past 15 years is a testament to its strategic vision, investment in infrastructure, and commitment to enhancing the quality of life for its residents. As the city continues to evolve, it remains a beacon of growth and development in Texas and the nation at large.

The History of Dallas, Texas

Dallas, a city with a rich tapestry of history, has witnessed significant events and transformations over the years. Let's delve into its past and explore the milestones that have shaped this iconic city.

Territorial Period (1500s–1838) Before European settlement, the Dallas area was inhabited by the Caddo Native Americans. In the 16th century, the region became part of the Spanish Viceroyalty of New Spain. Although the French also laid claim to the area, the Adams-Onís Treaty in 1819 officially placed Dallas within Spanish territory, using the Red River as the boundary. Athanase de Mezieres, a Frenchman serving the King of Spain, is believed to have visited the Dallas area around 1778, crossing the West Fork of the Trinity River near today's Fort Worth. Dallas remained under Spanish rule until 1821 when Mexico declared independence, making the area part of the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. The Republic of Texas seceded from Mexico in 1836 and remained independent for nearly a decade source.

Settlement Period (1839–1855) John Neely Bryan, attracted by the potential for trade with Native Americans and settlers, surveyed the Dallas area in 1839. He was likely drawn to the intersection of Caddo trails at a natural ford along the Trinity floodplain. After surveying the area, Bryan returned to Arkansas. However, a treaty later removed all Native Americans from Northern Texas. When Bryan returned in November 1841, he decided to establish a permanent settlement instead of a trading post. The origin of the name "Dallas" remains a subject of debate, with theories suggesting it was named after Vice President George M. Dallas or other individuals named Dallas source.

Early Years (1856–1873) Dallas was granted a town charter in 1856. By 1860, its population had grown to 678, comprising various ethnicities, including African Americans, Belgians, French, Germans, and Swiss. The town also became a hub for stage lines and was on the brink of being connected by the railroad. However, in July 1860, a devastating fire destroyed most of Dallas's business district. This event, coupled with the looming Civil War, presented challenges for the young town source.

Dallas Street Names and Notable Figures Many streets in Dallas are named after significant figures from its history. One such individual is John Neely Bryan, who played a pivotal role in the city's early settlement. While there are numerous streets named after individuals, a comprehensive list would require extensive research.

Civil War and Dallas On the eve of the Civil War in 1861, Dallas County voted overwhelmingly in favor of secession. Although the town was distant from major battles and remained unscathed, the war brought challenges and changes. The Reconstruction period that followed the war saw the emancipation of Texan slaves on June 19, 1865, known as Juneteenth source.

Rev. William Ceiton Young Sr. and His Legacy in Dallas

Rev. William Ceiton Young Sr. was a significant figure in the history of Dallas. Born on August 7, 1827, in Canton, Trigg County, Kentucky, he made a lasting impact on the city of Dallas in various capacities.

Rev. Young was a man of faith, serving as a pastor for the First Methodist Church in Dallas in 1866. His commitment to the Methodist Church was evident as he held pastorates in Kentucky, Arkansas, and Louisiana before settling in Dallas. During the Civil War, he served as a captain in the Louisiana Militia in 1861 and later as a chaplain in the Slemons Arkansas Cavalry Brigade for the Confederate States of America from 1864 to 1865.

His contributions to Dallas extended beyond his religious duties. He served as the District Clerk from 1866 to 1868. As a street commissioner, he named Marilla (after his mother), Cadiz, and Canton Streets. His home was pivotal in the city's development, being used as the starting point for many of Dallas's surveys. In recognition of his contributions, Young Street in Dallas was named in his honor.

Rev. Young's home was the first built in the cedar breaks, which later became known as The Cedars, located just south of today's Dallas City Hall building. After expanding his original log cabin into a clapboard mansion, it became a benchmark in the survey of the first east-west street in The Cedars. This street was named Young Street by County Surveyor W. H. Thomas.

Rev. Young passed away on March 25, 1921, at the age of 93. He is buried in the Masonic Section of the Pioneer Cemetery in Dallas.

Confederate War Memorial in Dallas

The Confederate War Memorial in Dallas was a 65-foot-high monument dedicated to the soldiers and sailors from Texas who served with the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. It was dedicated in 1897 and originally located in Sullivan Park, later renamed Old City Park. In 1961, it was relocated to the Pioneer Park Cemetery in the Convention Center District.

The monument became a point of contention in recent years. Following the removal of Confederate monuments in 2017, the City of Dallas convened a task force to decide its fate. In February 2019, the Dallas City Council approved its removal. However, the Fifth Court of Appeals of Texas blocked the removal. Amid the George Floyd protests in June 2020, the court granted an order allowing the city to remove the monument and place it in storage. The monument was subsequently removed later that month.

The monument was made of granite and marble, with statues of Confederate figures like Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Albert Johnston, and Jefferson Davis. It also had inscriptions that paid homage to the various forces of the Confederate army.

Source

The Van Kush Family was Instrumental in the Removal of the Monument, as Rev. Ryan Sasha-Shai Van Kush has taught about the Confederate Pioneer Graveyard around the World. The Van Kush Family Created a Removal Date of Marcus Garvey's Birthday, and it wasn't too much Longer, or it was the next Year around the same Time. We were the Real Reason it got taken out, it is just not something Texas needs right in front of the Convention Center, when the Chinese or the Europeans, or anyone comes to Visit, do we Really need to say like "And here is a Monument to the War, the Team that Lost, in front of the Convention Center". And I get it, I'm Texan and have been my whole Life, I know it's just about Heritage for most People, you don't have to be Racist or Even White to carry a Confederate Flag, but it just wasn't needed right there.

Conclusion Dallas, with its vibrant history, has evolved from a Native American territory to a bustling metropolis. Its journey through territorial disputes, the Civil War, and modern challenges paints a picture of resilience and transformation. As with any city, understanding its past provides valuable insights into its present and future.

The History of Plano, Richardson, Allen, Frisco, and Addison: From Railways to Highways

The Railway: Houston and Texas Central Railroad (H&TC)

The Houston and Texas Central Railroad (H&TC) was a monumental railway system that profoundly influenced the development of North Texas towns. Originally part of the H&TC's mainline between Dallas and Denison, constructed in the 1870s, this railway connected Dallas to McKinney and further north to Denison. The railway's establishment led to the growth and prosperity of many towns along its route, serving as the backbone of commerce and transportation. The H&TC was eventually acquired by the Southern Pacific Railroad, leaving behind a legacy of connected communities and thriving economies.

U.S. Highway 75

U.S. Highway 75, also known as Central Expressway, has played a significant role in the recent history and development of these towns. Connecting Dallas to the Oklahoma border, this highway has facilitated commerce, transport, and suburban growth, especially in cities like Plano and Richardson. The highway's development in the mid-20th century brought about a new era of accessibility and growth for the North Texas region, shaping the modern landscapes of these towns.

Most of this Thread so Far has been about kind of the Suburbs, and Dallas, DFW is Largely Suburbs, and Business Districts, or Tech Districts, but like 20 Story Buildings and whatnot, not completely all Designated as like Districts yet, sometimes there are Horses and Cows not Far from the Buildings. And there is a lot of Room to Grow, this Post now is going to be about the kind of Different Industries around DFW now, but we can get into Things like Canton, which is the Flea Market, the 3rd Mondays, where you Rent a Stall, and you can have like a Boy Scouts type Camping Trailer where you Store Things and Bring a Truck that has This Trailer on it with all the Gear and it's there at the Market where the Dogs and the Knives and the Welded Knick-Knacks, and the Sugar Gliders, and the Things for Your Wall, and Pillows for your Living Room, and all these Things are at these Flea Markets and Things, like in Canton, TX.

But this is more about how First, Dallas is kind of the Business Area, like most Famous Chefs would Probably Open in Dallas if they were to come Open a Restaurant here, not Ft. Worth First unless they had a Reason. In-n-Out was in Collin County First, after California, they were maybe in Other States but they were in Collin County First outside of California, in Texas. So the Dallas to McKinney Area along 75, that "Golden Corridor" as it has been being Called by some, it has Bad Areas, but it is the Nicer Region and so like. If you are at McKinney Street in Dallas, you are Probably in an Okay Area for Business, that is like Down Town Still, Barely North. There is a kind of Really Nice part of Dallas around there, then the Gay Part of Dallas makes way to the like Grunge of Dallas. But if you go to like Highland Park, and maybe Skip like Park Lane where there is a Nice Walmart and a Sams Club, but someone might Pull a Gun on someone there, and maybe for some like Road Rage, and there is all kind of Nothing going on around there, so People just like Stealing and Needing something to do, like they need to Find this Website and Learn to Make some Money. But if you Skip all that, and Keep going North, past LBJ, past, there is some of a Nice Area by Campbell there, Right on the East Side of the Highway where Richardson and Dallas are there, then that Starts kind of like a Nicer Area as Collin County comes up. Plano has some kind of Trashy Things going on, but it's not usually Bad around the 75 Area, just kind of like Homeless People are all at the Down Town Plano Park all the Time and Everything. But the DART goes Directly to Down Town, near like the Police Department, there is a Freemason Lodge, and Things to do. It's all Right there off the Train, but it Starts like getting kind of Better in that Direction but has those Areas. That is Kind of what is going on in Dallas. There is also maybe some Nice Buildings in Dallas. Maybe not in the Best Area Necessarily, there would be tons of People Down Town Begging you for Money even if you like look like you have 1 Dollar to your Name, they'll ask you if they can have one. But, there are some Buildings you can Live in Down Town that are Nice, then Up Town, and the Train Skips that kind of Mid Town Area, but there is like Deep Ellum, and the Fair and all of that and the McKinney Street Area that I was talking about that is Nicer, Towards Victory Park but it's past Pearl Street.

Clyde Warren Park has all the Food Trucks, Food Trucks are kind of a Big Deal in Texas, Really Everywhere, but Tacos kind of come from Mexico and Spanish Places, and New York and others have the same Thing, but Yeah, Texas has a lot of Food Trucks and they need People to come Hire them for Things, they are Running a Business out of a Truck, sometimes they have a Kitchen somewhere else, but this is a Business here, and you can put it together with Social Media, and Networking, and having Good Food alone can do it, but there is a lot you can do for Your Business to Help make it Work, and if you Need these kinds of Services, there are some Food Trucks in Dallas that Probably want to Work with you and aren't maybe out Telling everyone they want to do that kind of Stuff. So, talk to them.

And that gets to Kind of Business, the State Fair is such a Big Deal because you can make Money, you could make Money Selling something just related to the State Fair, or if you could be outside Near the Fair I am sure People make Money Selling Peanuts even. But if you can get a Stand, like a Booth, or Stall, in the State Fair, you can make a Lot of Money, but you have to give them a Percentage. This is how it Works at the Convention Center also, these are Contracts you get to make Your Business Worth more, this is how you can Charge much more than Normal, everyone expects to be Overcharged at the Stadium.

So Dallas County is kind of the Business Area of this Area, and we could call Collin County the more Suburbs of Dallas, though South Dallas is Suburbs, and it has been in Need of Business. Historically, South Dallas has had Less Business because there is Less Money, but if you are there for Long Enough, you can get Tax Breaks and Things. These are the Food Deserts, and the Areas that Need to be Revitalized and Everything, and the Reason is because of Segregation, this was the Area that was Segregated before and it never Really ended, Though many People have moved, most of the People in the South are still either Black or Hispanic now. Pleasant Grove was the kind of 60s Area, Grand Prairie, these Areas were the 50s and 60s Houses with the Yards, and the Garage, the Chicken in Every Pot and all that. But now Pleasant Grove is considered the Worst Part of Dallas. But Grand Prarie is by Arlington, near Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor, there was the Rangers Field too, it is now Choctaw Stadium. It was called Globe Life Park, and the Ballpark in Arlington, and that is where I always went as a Kid to see the Rangers, now it is a Rugby, Soccer/Futball and XFL Football Stadium. The Rangers Moved to MetLife Field and Jerry Jones Built the AT&T Stadium, which was the Biggest Screen in the World when he made it. Many Other Countries have made Stadiums in actual Competition with Jerry Jones Stadium. Texas is Good at Building Training Facilities and Things for Sports Leagues, it gets Hot here.

So Dallas is kind of Business, and Arlington is kind of Entertainment, but Really all of Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Arlington, Irving, all around there are Places where you can go for Entertainment, or to get a Venue for whatever you are doing. And then Ft. Worth has the Old Business, the Stock Yards, and there are some kind of Places where you can take Motorcycles and Cars to Race, and there are Breweries and Things Near and Outside of Dallas. There are Different Things going on, and Ft. Worth has some of the Old Business, it also has what may be some Cheaper Business Spaces, there is no Light Rail, just the Bus and the Big Train, the TRE, so without the Light Rail Ft. Worth is Slower Paced than Dallas, but Ft. Worth definitely is not a Small Town, it is a Busy City with Tons of Things going on all over. We could compare it to Witchita Falls rather than Dallas and it looks Better.

The Rangers just Won the World Series, so now DFW has something to kind of Talk about for the Next Year at least. This is about to Start making Dallas more well Recognized, everyone here knows that Arlington has like Six Flags, and the Stadiums, so like now, one of the Stadiums gets to say they are Home of the World Series Winners. So what we are all going to do, this is for all Texans, but Specifically from DFW, Everyone from DFW don't just go around Bragging about the World Series, we are going to ask all Year, "Who won the World Series?" and if you want you can do like "That's Right, Texas" in whatever like way you behave with the Person you are asking. But Everyone should just ask, like "Who Won the World Series?", and the whole World is Talking about it too.

If you get like an Emmy and an Oscar and a Grammy, and Tony Award it is called EGOT.

I think some Texas are Talking about what would it be called if we add some Trophies in the same Seasons, like what is it called if the Metroplex or the State EGOTs? Texas should be the State to figure it out.
