Big Al Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 In the BFT #21 Answer thread, .:.impossible asked if Dan was from Texas. I don't know either; all I know is that there is a street close to where I live that bears his name. I took a couple of pictures of it today, cuz I happened to have my camera with me: Quote
SGUD missile Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 Where is that? somewhere near Grapevine? Euless? ( I see a DFW airport sign ) former Dallasite here .. Quote
Big Al Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Posted January 23, 2005 Here's a link to Dan Gould Drive, lest any of y'all think I'm Photoshopping some pictures (like I have THAT kind of talent!). Quote
Aggie87 Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 Top notch Honda/Acura maintenance facility over in the distance there.... :rsmile: Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 What can I say? I'm speechless .... except to say that I am not from Texas! Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 I'm overweight, but not that chunky. Quote
Noj Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 Yes, but would you believe the street's former title was... Quote
Big Al Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Posted January 23, 2005 Where is that? somewhere near Grapevine? Euless? ( I see a DFW airport sign ) former Dallasite here .. South Arlington, just north of Mansfield. Remember how Cooper used to be a two-lane going down to dinky little Mansfield? Now there's this little section of area right between Arlington and Mansfield where people actually live in Arlington proper, but they're in the Mansfield school district. Seems our city "leaders," back around 20 years or so ago, thought that Mansfield would always be just a little hick town and practically gave 'em all this land. Now Mansfield's growth is rapidly outpacing that of Arlington's, and they are reaping the lucrative benefits of the school taxes that Arlington could be getting right now if our "leaders"--then AND now--weren't so damn myopic!!! Sorry to go off on a tear there. After I took that picture, I just shook my head in realizing how different the background of each picture was about 15 years ago. Nothin' but trees. Was nice while it lasted. Quote
JSngry Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 A tall cool one at Millies Oasis, and all is forgotten! Quote

catesta Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 Yes, but would you believe the street's former title was... Nice one. Quote

Was nice while it lasted. Yep ..now I know whereof you speak! And the overcrowding and sprawl ( along with the deadly ass f*****ing HEAT ) were a couple of the reasons for my presence in the Pacific NW. I recall when the Turnpike opened ..and it was great not to have to fight 183 anymore to get to FW. all my old jazz buddies there say the whole scene has gone down the toilet workwise.. Quote

JSngry Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 Seems that I remember another member who once expressed an interest is obtaining similar objects... (always good to have a Plan B, doncha' know. Just in case...) Quote
Big Al Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Posted January 25, 2005 I'll talk to the folks at that auto repair place there. They gotta know SOMEthing!!! Quote

Dan, doing his best Aric imitation I'd be really impressed if there was a street called "Gene Harris Fanatic Boulevard". Quote
