Yankee Invasion

That's the big news today as DFW was announced to be the fastest growing area in the nation last year. I believe it. Traffic in the metroplex is insane. Just 10 years ago, you could easily cruise from Decatur to downtown Fort Worth and never hit your brake lights. These days, sometimes traffic is backed up on 287 as it merges onto I-35. And don't even think about a quick trip to Northeast Mall. (Sidenote: Did you know that a Best Buy is being built at Golden Triangle Blvd and I-35?)

And although Wise County continues to grow, its not keeping pace with Tarrant County. It's an odd phenomenon in north Tarrant County where it seems that housing subdivisions pop up everywhere but tend to stop at the Wise County line.
