WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.680
<v Speaker 1>We are smack dab in the middle of the five

2
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>worst suburbs in the DFW, according to Dallas Observer's reader's pull.

3
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:10.359
<v Speaker 1>And just a second ago KT gave you number four.

4
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>It was Frisco. And already there is a lot of

5
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>controversy happening right now.

6
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, I mean number five, hovering number four Frisco.

7
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.480
<v Speaker 1>And then do they say why they've lost their damn minds.

8
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Frisco's number one in terms of being the best.

9
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Kevin.

10
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:25.440
<v Speaker 3>And this is here's a couple of things that Dallas

11
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Observer said in their article, like, hey, people, who if

12
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:29.920
<v Speaker 3>you vote on this, have you never had the Texas

13
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker 3>twinkie from Hutchins Barbecue? Like, have you ever been to

14
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 3>some of these places? A lot of people just pick

15
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 3>places that they're not from or you know, this is

16
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 3>the Observer.

17
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:41.759
<v Speaker 2>They're hipsters.

18
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:43.719
<v Speaker 1>They're like, oh, look, these guys are way out in

19
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 1>the urbs. It can't be cool out there. That's all that.

20
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 3>That's not dude, This is all readers. This is all

21
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:51.320
<v Speaker 3>bas okay, all readers. They didn't they didn't weigh in

22
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:52.799
<v Speaker 3>on this, I know, but tasted the math.

23
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 1>To Ben's point, the people that read the Observer, which,

24
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:57.679
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I'm one of them.

25
00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I love the Observer.

26
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I am, I'm I'm now I'm an aging Kelly Dearmore.

27
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 1>Article on Kelly Dearmore is my guy. We love Kelly.

28
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonnasue him. But they just put the post on

29
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>social media. They just went and tallied the results and

30
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>I and I think. I don't think Kelly lives in Frisco,

31
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 1>but he doesn't live far from it. He's not anti

32
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 1>northern burbs. But to Ben's point, I think in general

33
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the readers of the Dallas Observer are the Dallas Denizens,

34
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 1>the East Dallas hipsters, et cetera.

35
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:26.959
<v Speaker 2>Three is not a knock. I support the Dallas Observer.

36
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 3>The places where the Dallas Observer is there in their

37
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 3>favorite diner. Three Garland, we just rocked Garland. I really

38
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 3>loved the paragraph that Kelly Dearmore road here.

39
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:40.079
<v Speaker 2>I want to read you some of it.

40
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay, perhaps the mangraves against Garland lyon what it's not.

41
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:45.719
<v Speaker 3>It's not one of the glitzy emerging suburbs like Alan

42
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 3>or prosper A good chunk of town has a tendency

43
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 3>to look old and out of date. But it was

44
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 3>recognized as the state's most Outstanding districts by the h

45
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.280
<v Speaker 3>EB Excellence and Education Awards, and it's one of the

46
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 3>most racially diverse populations in DFL.

47
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Respect Okay, nude, I and look, we've always hated Garland

48
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>because we're from Richardson and we're death rivals. But when

49
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.599
<v Speaker 1>we went out there to Fortunate Son, we had an

50
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 1>absolute blast and I was blown away by how cool

51
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>it was.

52
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 2>It reminded me like a little baby Austin Red. Garland's great.

53
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 3>All of these towns are great, and that goes for

54
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.000
<v Speaker 3>you except for number two.

55
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 2>That's a great way to the number two. You get

56
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 2>what's coming to you. You get Plano. Okay, because of

57
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>all the heroin deaths in the nineties, just.

58
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 1>So washed, there's the lasting has done. So you like

59
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>Colin Creek Mall, I don't know, Like, what have you

60
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:41.719
<v Speaker 1>seen Colin Creek Mall. I know that's what I'm saying.

61
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>It's the last thing it did that was good. I mean,

62
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.719
<v Speaker 1>it's had its day everything. It just mowed all right

63
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 1>on past it like a tidal wave. I will say this,

64
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and part of it is Plano is more sprawling than Richardson.

65
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like Richardson's resilience has shined brightly in

66
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 1>the last decade in a way that Plano's has not.

67
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Boom and you're face Kevin.

68
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 3>I just think Plano and then they let all that

69
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.599
<v Speaker 3>sewer water run down because they had a water problem

70
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 3>and on their sewer water ran into White Rock Lake.

71
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>A couple of oh that was Plano was doing on

72
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.199
<v Speaker 1>their receipt right now. That's why they're getting blasted. It

73
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>fell out of a pipe at Colin Creek.

74
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 3>I just think Plano two takes credit for some things

75
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 3>that are actually in the colony and in Frisco and Planos,

76
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 3>like the towers.

77
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>You know what, There are surprising places of Plano that

78
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:29.199
<v Speaker 1>you don't realize, right north, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

79
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Just kidding. We love planet here.

80
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 3>Mosquito number one Sunny Veil, speaking of the Mosquito.

81
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:40.639
<v Speaker 2>Lives out there not far off.

82
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 3>Shout out to the Skeeters number one, the Mesquite Skeeters.

83
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, so what are they saying? Too many wranglers?

84
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>That's it.

85
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.159
<v Speaker 3>No other Dallas over garnered more social media votes on

86
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 3>the pole question. What's the worst suburban dw than Mesquite?

87
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Dude, there they're mascot that's offensive to call them asquiter.

88
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can't do that.

89
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>That's Chris Arnold used to talk about that the windows

90
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>to the Wall.

91
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 3>I say, however, those who chose Mosquite didn't give us

92
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.759
<v Speaker 3>many reasons why they voted that way.

93
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>See. I can understand you people that are putting Garland

94
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.639
<v Speaker 1>and Mesquite and Planeo and Irving because they've all those

95
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>places have sucked.

96
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.240
<v Speaker 2>For a long time and their long standing punchlines.

97
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.439
<v Speaker 1>But if you haven't gone back in and checked recently,

98
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 1>like to me, Garland has improved their situation. I can't

99
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>tell you that Plano or Mesquite has, and definitely Irving hasn't.

100
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 1>But Frisco shouldn't be on this list and Garland should

101
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.399
<v Speaker 1>not be on this list. I think that this is

102
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.319
<v Speaker 1>a I think Frisco is the one that stands out

103
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that I think is a reflection of backlash of the

104
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 1>typical deserver get headlines.

105
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I guess, dude, again, if the coupleys are there too,

106
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.480
<v Speaker 3>that's another thing that makes people go good.

107
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you ask observer readers what the best suburb in

108
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>DFW is, they're going to say deep elm.

109
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.319
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting. World.

110
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.879
<v Speaker 1>The gentrification, dude, there's a couple of blocks of deep

111
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 1>element that's way too swaggy.

112
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Now.

113
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 3>I could see Frisco making the top five there too. Yeah,

114
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 3>and the most top and the and that's where you

115
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 3>want to be in the middle.

116
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, it is a lot of people

117
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>consider to be a hip again, and I really no offense, Allen.

118
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 1>I think I want to move there. It just would

119
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>be further away from the brewery we're opening in October.

120
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.079
<v Speaker 1>But I'm jealous of KT.

121
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Living in Richardson.

122
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.879
<v Speaker 1>I love Richardson, and it's not just because we grew

123
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 1>up there. I mean, I grew up on the East side,

124
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 1>and if I moved back there, I wouldn't want to

125
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 1>move to the west side. But I just think it

126
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>has reshaped itself in an amazing way. I love downtown Richardson.

127
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I like that whole Lockwood district. I like all of it. Richardson.

128
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 1>You're kicking ass. I'm gonna blow you a kiss.

129
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh thank you, And I'll take that win. All right?

130
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 2>All right? Did you hear her tepid clapp in there? Yeah?

131
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Good golf car?

132
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, all right, kat is gonna take the win

133
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>on behalf of Richardson. All right coming up next in

134
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 1>the weekly weekday up, Why today is the last good

135
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 1>day We'll discuss next
