HOT and HOT, Nice BIG houses, not much else

I HAVE LIVED IN PLANO FOR ABOUT five years now, and while I live in a beautiful house that is about all I can think of that is good about this area. It just seems like a boring, surreal life here. It is HOT the majority of the time. There is absolutely no scenery to look at. Trying to get away for a "weekend" or a road trip you are hours away from anywhere. There are really no "mom and pop" restaurants to speak of - everything is a chain. If you come from up north and are accustomed to a local pizza joint, or something - forget it here. You have to drive to get anywhere. It's all about the shopping here too. What designer clothes you have on, what kind of car you drive, what size house you have, and where your family is going on winter, spring, fall and summer break. A lot of keeping up with the Joneses...but I am sure you get that everywhere these days. I miss the four seasons, the mom and pop restaurants and the normalcy of just being "average". There are certainly worse places to live, but there has to be better!
