The layout and architecture of this city, as well as its size, make it more "hip" than many others, and it's civic base in oil and cattle money mean our cultural hosldings are far better than average, and that will atrract "new economy" people as well. I sent a reporter (okay it was actaully TCU Colleg Girl) to the District 6 Town Hall meeting last night and she had much hopeful to report, although, sadly, they have not yet given up on that accursed toll road that they're still planning.
