Dallas Finally Enters the “Sh*t People Say” Meme
A tired trope, but one that was bound to land here anyway.
I did a pretty cursory search for “Sh*t Park Cities Residents Say,” but didn’t find any hits. Isn’t there some engineering HPHS junior with an iPhone that’s willing to make this happen? A few quick suggestions:
– “Ugh, the parking’s always so bad at Snider Plaza.”
– “I saw Troy Aikman on the Katy Trail.”
– “Why is there ALWAYS so much construction on Preston Road?”
–‘Oak Cliff? Is it safe?’
–‘Deep Ellum? Is it safe?’
–‘Where do you go to church?’
–‘I grew up here.’
–‘Are you going to the school carnival?’
–‘Are you going to the auction party?’
–‘Are you going to the home tour?’
–‘I belong to the DCC.’
–‘I belong to Brook Hollow.’
–‘I belong to Royal Oaks.’
