America's safest cities

[ghost of miles]

No doubt because of the presence of Sheriff Sangrey!

America's safest cities

[JSngry]

Not safe from drug trafficking...not safe from gonzo cops in SUVs handing out speeding tickets like they were after-dinner mints...not safe from institutionalized, if subtle, Republicanism in the schools...

Still, all in all, a "nice" enough place to live. If you want the thrill of the urban lifestyle, it's just a few minutes away, and if you want the excitement of street crime, same thing.

The one thing I do like about Plano is that it is rapidly becoming an extremely culturally diverse town. There's a lot of "second-generation" children of immigrants who are coming here to pursue a quiet, middle-class American lifestyle, and they're bringing with them their clothes, food, languages, and business acumen. If you want to see what "the new America" is going to look like in about 50 years (unless the teabaggers take over), this is it.

Hey, that's still within Sheriff Andrew Griffith's territory. . . .

It looks pretty scary to me

[mellowT]

Yeah, book signings always petrify me too.

The only thing I remember about Plano is shopping centers, condos & look-alike housing developments.

[JSngry]

Yep. The New America.

Sad to say, the safest of all might well be Circuit City.

Wow, Plano had less than 4,000 inhabitants in 1960 and now is approaching 300,000. No wonder I haven't heard of this city until now.
