re: Boring for an outdoor lover - 6/8/2007 -
5/18/2009I have lived in Arlington, Tx for the past 8 1/2 years, as far as living, Arlington is a beautiful city once you get around to the entire city. yes, there are patts of Arlington like other cities that have their not so good part, however it has gotten better through the years. The area where the Dallas Cowboys stadium is going to be, believe me that are will thrive. I lived in that area the first two years of living in Arlington.
The Southeas close to Mansfield is the idea area to live, especially close to all of the shopping, eateries and movie theatre in the mall. There is a lot to do and the city is getting ready for the welcoming crowd when the cowboys stadium is opened. I-20 and Matlock is booming and there are more venues that will be opened for entertainment.
For the outdoor lover, there is Lake Arlington near I-20 and Bowen in that area, then there is Joe Pool Lake off I-20 and Mt Creek Parkway. You have to get out and see the city. For the traffic, there is the new opening of 161 that connects you to Irving, Tx where all of the major companies to work and then there is Dallas itself, North Dallas, just drive and see for yourself. Preston and Frankford connecting Addison, Tx, there is a lot to see and do. Some people will love Arlingtona and some will not. I love it and lived other places after moving there, and I returned because you miss the convienence of it all. Everything is around you. 30-45 minutes from Ft. Worth and Dallas, Irving, Grapevine etc on weekends.

5/18/2009I agree, once the Cowboys stadium open there will be a demand for a transit system. I hope it passes.
