Richardson, TX
Memory from the past -
10/28/2006I lived off coit rd / cambell rd: I went to JJ Pierce HS and we loved our town. I have to admit my memories are all good. I loved the Clean enviroment, and honest people. Granted this was 1980-83. Today I only know that Coit rd/Cambell rd is a major intersection, and Plano HS still kicks Butt. In my humble opinion the area was prime for raising kids (from experience) and the culture was not RED-NECK: We always saw North Dallas, Richardson and Garland, Addison..as LA..in the middle of Texas. I recommend Richardson to anyone who can afford it. BE advised that Now-A-Days..Traffic is really bad, and LBJ freeway is as bad as it always has been. NOTE: Dallas is not Really...a "HOUSTON" type city..it is a WANT-A-BE..Los Angeles.

Run while you can -
11/21/2005Fresno on the surface, to the outsider looks like a smart financial move. If you want to stay in California, and can't afford the Bay, LA, or Sac..Fresno is it. But...beware. This place is a Good 'ole Boy town. Racism is rampant, Gang violence is exaggerated by local news to justify over zealous police force. Air is Bad, Jobs few and business owners act as if YOU are LUCKY to have a job at all. Wages are at early 1980s rates, and most people are working in a field different than they are trained in. Ag is KING, and you better love the Republican Party or you will find your car with damage after your low paying work day. Oh, the courts are right out of the American "South" of the 1950s! RUN while you can! -on the way out soon, to Sac, Portland, or Washington State.
