Responses
• Lancaster in Fort Worth.
• Abram Street, Cooper Street, or North Collins
• Waxahachie, Granbury, Grapevine, Goliad There
are so many others but I can’t think of them
right off . They just have there own unique look
about them. I like going to t owns, ci es like
these. It shows there history. They don’t have to
be modern. Like a soda shop or the Ben Franklin
we used to have in downtown Arlington.
• Fredericksburg, TX - It is pedestrian friendly.
•
Even thought the town got the old look but it got
•
unique and a rac ve characters. The verity of
small/mom & pub shops add charm and iden ty
to the town.
