    Trunda, Richardson is coming back with new construction. Look at the shopping and restaurants going in around the 75 and Campbell area. Cool!!

    JOHN  I didn't think Richardson was large enough to be noticed until I got into real estate.

    LYNN  Isn't it wonderful? As long as it isn't another Plano, I'm happy.

    Trunda, good info.

    I used to live in uptown Dallas while working for Sprint, and loved to drive around and discover the surrounding cities. Richardson certainly looked bustling. I've been telling folks who don't know this area that it's not just about Cowboy hats, boots and big hair.

    Is that great big, huge, monster, gigantic water tower still there in Richardson? When I was at Texas A&M University, one of my best friends lived just a block away. I stayed at his place for lots of Aggie-SMU/TCU football games.
