While Colleyville doesn't have a lot of retail, or restaraunts, or really anything other than residential area, it's that way by design. The surrounding cities provide all the support services that the residents of Colleyville need, and the city is sustained on property taxes.
The city council ran off all the bigtime developers, who ended up building just outside of Colleyville in Hurst, and Kmart died it's horribly overdue death, so really there's not any major retail at all. Other than the grocery stores.
I have been to Frisco lately, my grandfather had a quadruple bipass at the Presbyterian hospital, then a subsequent heart attack. So I'm up there all the time. And their house is in Frisco. His wife's son bought the house there for them. Well, actually, he had bought several houses in the development, and was renting them out. But they decided to move here, so he gave them the house. Me thinks those houses are all cheap cheap cheap. Don (the son) lives about a mile away from me in North Bedford. Can't stand the Frisco mess.
I find it ridiculous that every time we want to go somewhere to eat after leaving the hospital, we have to wait at least an hour for a table of 4. Be it at the Cheesecake Factory, or the California Pizza Kitchen (both at your beloved Stonebriar.)
By the way, I also hate how Frisco has put stop lights on highway 121, what a pain in my rear when I have to go to Legacy. (I work for Penneys, but not normally at Legacy)
As for the guy who said Colleyville is a small hick town... Good call. You sure have us pegged...
