Perhaps a sign that the end is near ... for Texas

Or maybe the end is just near for Dallas and its burbs. The place has only been tangentially Texan for quite some time.

From WFAA in Dallas. This is kind of maddening ...

Jim Greenwood of Frisco said he never dreamed his HOA would have a problem with his new Ford F-150 pickup. Then he received the first of three notices threatening him with fines.

"Mr. Greenwood, you're violating a subdivision rule that prohibits pickup trucks in your driveway," the notice reads.

Stonebriar HOA rules allow several luxury trucks on driveways, including the Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Avalanche, Honda Ridgeline and Lincoln Mark LT.

But most Ford, Dodge or Chevy pickups are restricted.


This reminds me of some of the things me and my wife have talked about on tract housing. I'll update this after I sleep.

That's pretty rediculous - but it comes from a town that has crystal chandeliers in their McDonalds.

Our soccer fans in Houston have long called Frisco "South Oklahoma" - it's pretty sad when more fans from Houston show up than from Dallas. I guess that's why we have 2 trophys in 2 years and they have none in 11.

Highest per capita income in the US - outpacing even those crazy Californians.

There is some money to be taken in big D.
