Addison is just a big commercial district of places to eat and party. It literally has an extremly low population (15k for a metroplex city)of residents but an enormous population of visitors. The daytime population is something like 75K.
I live about 40 miles north of Dallas in a little town of about 3K but if I am talking to someone from outside of the area I just say near Dallas or north of Dallas, because even though I have been to Boerne Tx about as many people know it as they do Van Alstyne where I live. I even know to call it "Burny". Before my dad died we hunted in Kendall county and around Uvalde and down towards Del Rio. I have always liked that area.
And Comfort has had some nice mountain bike races.
Hows that for a thread HIJACK
