[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 552048, member: 3306"] I grew up in a small town. Granbury's not small anymore, but back when I was a kid, there wasn't even a grocery store. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I went to school at UTA and then continued to live in Arlington until 1997. Keep in mind, Arlington grew a LOT between 1982 and 1997. I mean, a LOT. And it still continues to grow. I left because I wanted a slower pace of life for my sons. It was all about having your kids in 6 different activities, bussing them around from one to the next. It was all to hectic on them and on me. So I got back to my roots and have never looked back. My only regret is not having done it sooner. When I see neighborhoods spring up in corn fields, it makes me so sad. It isn't like I was not one of those people, but when I moved, I left my issues in Arlington. I see so many just moving their problems, their gangs, their lifestyle, away from where they came and they don't escape their problems, they take them along. Progress seems to be following me. I gotta get out of here. Soon. [/QUOTE]
