Plano is just north of Dallas in southwestern
Collin County. We moved to

this growing community in about 1990 and lived there
for 20 years. When we arrived, our neighborhood was bordered by a wheat field
and a blimp airport. By the time we left, the airport was replaced by houses
and an elementary school took over the fields. This growth has continued until
on a recent visit I nearly didn’t recognize the area. Plano wasn’t always a
hotbed of growth. It has some of the same mundane roots as other towns in
Texas.
