Well, a hundred years ago is pretty vague, so, I'm not sure exactly how much has changed since then... But, I do know that I've been in the area since 98, and, it's scary how much it's grown just in that time. Entertainment still is scarce, as far as nightclubs (are there any at all?!) and bars. If you want to eat and shop, though, you can't go wrong in that area. There are lots of choices. I really like Lewisville, though. It was right in the middle of everything, but, not "city life". Carrollton isn't a lot different in that way, just a little more upscale in some parts, but, it's still easy to drive pretty much everywhere. Everything is within 30 or 45 minutes. Which seems like a lot, but, I love driving. I used to drive all the time all over town because I dated a drummer and went to as many of his gigs as possible, so, I got used to driving.
