Plano

Not sure why people "rip" on Plano so much. Nice city that is very "suburban" true. At the same time, it is clean, and low-crime. Shopping is excellent, to say the least (if you love shopping, it will be like you died and woke up in heaven). At the same time, yes, there probably is not much else to do. That is why you get in your car and drive down to Dallas. Put it this way, would you rather have "culture" and live in an apartment in some city, or live in "mansion" that only cost $ 250,000 and then have to drive half an hour for your "culture" ? To me the only downside would be that the suburbs can be heavily "Christian Right". I really don't know enough about Plano to judge that, but I am sure that that element exists there, to a lesser or greater degree.
By the way, Plano: great job getting the clean indoor air ordanance passed, banning indoor smoking. That is a big thing ! Also, the shops at Legacy and the Tollway are really nice. The new Fox Sports Grille is great.
