We wanted to find a Costco, so I went online and found the nearest one to here, just 15 miles away. It is a fairly new Costco, two and a half years old, but set up in a different way than any of the others we have been to and definitely nicer. They had a great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as seafood, books and clothes along with a lot of stuff we haven't seen at a Costco before. From there, we went to Super Target, another new store. It has huge, clean, nice wide uncluttered aisles with great quality products at a discounted price (we know now that by far, we prefer Target stores to Wal-Mart.) Our experience is that Target carries better quality brands at very competitive prices and their stores are cleaner and easier to get around in. Most Wal-Marts we've been to are cluttered, messy, difficult to manoeuvre in and a lot of their products are of a lower quality. I would love to see Target come to Canada and give Wal-Mart a run for their money. There is a lot of construction going on here in Dallas as there was when we were here in 2002. The highways are growing in every direction including up; they are layered as many as five freeways deep. The subdivisions are sprawled out with new schools, stores and churches. If the US has been in a recession, it appears as though Texas, or at least Dallas was excluded. (Isn't George Bush from Texas? Here is another view of Destiny Dallas!
