Welcome to Dallas: The City That Just Can't Stop Expanding
FRISCO, Texas — The growth north of Dallas has been so dizzying that people talk about it as if it were a storm, or some other force of nature.
That's how Heather Cowan describes it. She came to the area in 1995 to raise a family after graduating from college in South Dakota. Six months ago, she and her husband moved farther north to the quiet of Gunter, 50 miles from Dallas, 'to get ahead of the curve,' as she put it. Even in rural Gunter, though, Cowan said she was starting to 'feel' the growth.
