I've been wondering the same thing, as well as the Cheetah.

I think the Gordy's would sell the Varsity for the right price, but not too sure about the guy that owns the Cheetah. He seems to have dug in for the long haul.

Interesting, though not surprising for any of these.

Construction cranes everywhere in this corner of Collin County. Went to Fort Worth just last week and didn't see anything going on in the Mid Cities. It's like putting the I20 corridor in DeKalb ahead of the Perimeter Center area. Just don't see it.
Agreed... This didn't make much sense to me. Perhaps the ranking is being lazy/inaccurate and is including Frisco/Plano/Irving all together as mid cities or maybe just Irving.

I know about the popular grocery HEB out there, but what does HEB mean in relation to the Midcities area?

Irving I could see. Maybe Irving, Arlington and Grand Prairie are lumped in with the HEB cluster. Might make sense then. But that areas is almost as big as an entire Atlanta metro county. Hardly an apples to apples comparison with an area of just several square blocks like midtown.

Nothing to do with Howard E. Butts, the founder of the grocery chain. It's the combination of the Tarrant County suburban trio of Hurst, Euless and Bedford. They have an Independent school district of the same name, gets shortened to HEB locally. If the three of them were one city, they would make a more even counterpart to the other three suburbs (Irving, Arlington and Grand Prairie) that fit directly between Fort Worth and Dallas. It's kind of like lumping East Point, College Park and Hapeville together.

Sometimes these three are called the mid cities, sometimes the combination of all of these above is labeled mid-cities. Haven't gotten a clear word on that out here yet.

Got it, thank you!

Saintmarks beat you to it, but thank you as well!

And now I know what's behind the name of the grocery chain, I frankly had no idea.
