The Feds basically said no, you and Dallas will share a new airport and they stopped supporting FW's. Love Field was doing fine though.



Joe Pool Lake is not even on the map. I love that place.
This map might have been made in the 50s.

Edit: That was a ninja edit there Htownlove. I swear when I first quoted you, your post said that the Greater Southwest Airport was DFW Airport and you were telling Ladarron it was in between Euless and Irving.
you were dreaming .

are you one of those who deny that FW helped Dallas grow?
Are you talking about the city proper or the metro?

my point is not how big they are. I am saying that they are nice burbs. Dallas's influence in the region is diminishing.

Dallas is gonna be just another part of a really powerful area in the next 50 years. mark my words.
Look out for the rise of FW, Arlington, Plano, Irving.

lol, tell me what characteristic of land area in terms of hindrances does this one show that mine doesn't? lol are you just trying to show how spread out the cities are?? that is not my intention. I was just pointing out that miami FLL are confined while DFW is not, lol, but all you are concerned about is showing how big it is
