Come on, Jim. Southlake has beautiful terrain and wonderful homes. Just think of the wine cellar you could build into this one:  | ||

Leaving at 8:30am I'm in Las Colinas by 8:50-55. Leaving work at 5pm I get home at 5:30-40. It will be much better when 114 is done at Caroll and White Chapel. Even in rush hour I bet my commute goes down to 15-20 minutes. It takes me 15 minute max with no traffic at 2:30am in the Ferrari ignoring the cops.  Here's the fine garages we can store your Ferrari in at Southlake...  | ||

Moving to Southlake would shorten my commute by miles only! I've driven out 114 at rush hour, it makes 635 look like a country road! I think I've got the timing down now, takes about 35 minutes. Enough time for about 2 beers. If I was drinking them while I was driving. Which I wouldn't do, because that would be illegal. | ||

Jim, we can probably get you into a nice place here and shorten your commute substantially. The market looks pretty good right now and, well, you know interest rates are really low. As a matter of fact, my next door neighbor's house is for sale. The interior is completely redone and immaculate... I think he used granite-look-alike countertops.  | ||

Ouch... I made a similar move... that stretch of LBJ (there was no Bush then) was a damn parking lot... took an hour to go those 7 miles. You don't want to hear this, Jim... but after about 6 months of that, I couldn't take it any more and we moved west of I35 (Coppell). Now the trip to Las Colinas is less than 15 minutes... unless I am in the Ferrari, in which case I take the back twisty roads... 22 minutes... but 22 fun minutes. | ||

Yuck, Jim! I used to live in Dallas. That 22 miles probably takes you an hour+ each way? YUCK!!! | ||

My office moved this week from Richardson (2.2 miles from home) to Las Colinas (22.2 miles from home). The good news is, now I can stop and buy beer as I leave work, and I actually have time to drink a couple before I get home. Not that I WOULD drink them, that would be illegal. But I have time! And no, I wasn't in the Ferrari. |
