800K? no no honey. 800 people in my town lol. including the cows: 3000. add horses, chicken, goats, etc: 4500.

Greenville is not close to Dallas, it is out east and north of dallas, about 1 hour away, It pretty much is referred to as north dallas. it is west of Casa Linda area.

there are two UO's in dallas, one in Northpark Mall, which is west of where I am talking about, and anther on Mocking bird (not sure of shopping center-had to look this one up) but that is south of where I am directing you.

And there are TONS of small towns arund me with similar population sizes, but if you mapquest Melissa, McKinney, or Anna, or Sherman Texas, you will get an idea of the alternative areas I wanted you to look in. They are all straight north on 75.

The Park/shop is called Eisenberg's. I remember the good ole days of Friday night punk bands and moshing. There is a skate park in Allen brand new, and is a city project. It does not have a shop, so a shop near it might also be a good idea.

yet another plug for how hott chris looks. Too bad I have no chance in hell... tee hee

If you were to plunk down a skate shop say in North Dallas, nright above the uptown area, you might have a good market, uptown has higher property values (so more expensive to open up) and that's why I say go a few blocks north of it. Uptown and some of the surrounding communities are partially gay neigborhoods and family neighborhoods, in a good financial place, so your main customer base would end up being kiddies with a credit card (nothing wrong with them). I dont know if that is your scene, but in the Dallas area, it is likely all you will find. Plus, in that area are also the couture shops in Dallas.

I am not 100% familiar with skate shops in Dallas, however, there is an extremely successful skate shop/park in Plano, so I would go too far north of Dallas, best to stick right around downtown.

Another good area might be the polar opposite, south, closer to the duncanville area, but ou will have more of a "ghetto" vibe in that area, because S.Dallas and NE Dallas, and NW Dallas are heavily gang populated.

Downtown prob. wouldn't be good, because it is just sooooo business.

As always, this is just my opinion on the layout of Dallas, all info comes from living there for most of my life.

Thank goodness I'm out in BFE now, which oddly enough, might be a decent market if your price point is right (we are talking no major frills cowboy lifestyle parents out here, but they dote on the kids). Our humble town has a population of about 800, there are about 350 kids in MS and HS here, and I'd say about 1/4 of them skate, all over the place. The other small towns in the are about the same. If you were to loate in Sherman or N. McKinney, not only would your building and other costs be lower, you are liable to get some awesome tax breaks because of all the incentives they are offering to bring businesses in an d"urbanize" the area.

I really hope this is what you were asking for, because it took me forever to type this.

women: pear or other crisp fruit scent, nothing heavy, just like the scent from a deodarant

Men: nothing but ivory soap and pantene hair shampoo

I personally dontliek or get perfume, I prefer the smell of a clean person.

I see no scantily clad women. I am jealous. time to get on IE (because I do not have flash on my firefox)

Dont know what true republic is..... lol. And I am a true religion-diesel lover, and I feel fine here, maybe it alienates the more sensitive ones, but they are too sesitive if it offends or alienates them.

is this girlfriend hot? Can I be her special friend, I 'll get her to dress well.

But on this subject, my fiance' will not pay more than $30 for a pair of jeans, and if he knew how much the things I have bought him actually cost, I think he might murder me......

Just buy her things that you like and that fit her taste, she can still be preppy (If that is the issue, which I assume from the word, abercrombie, that it is) and dress well.

ahhhh... the man in my life would not appreciate me spreading my naked ass on the internet. That is strictly an at-home activity.

And I am so pale because I dont tan. I dont like skin cancer, it is ugly, and doesn't match well with any of the clothes I have...

Masochism at it's finest.

Those are pretty are they washed yet? <forgive me, I am a dry newbie

Masochism at it's finest.

if you're worried about bacteria, you could mist with lysol.

but in all seriousness, a romp in the dryer inside out wont do any damage to your jeans, but if you want to get the shape back better, you might have tolightly spritz them with a water bottle, this will make the fibers contract more

I just emailed mauro actually about some tapered and tight as hell (like 80's legging tight were my words) dry.

I just bought a pair of slutty silver 5 inch mules, but they were a size too big *cry* gotta exchange them tomorrow.

They are with a skirt, that is flying up like a Marilyn Monroe bit in that pic, hence the odd cropping.

For me.... PDC...

I bought a couple pair, but one of them (made from japanese ringxring) had the crotch rivet and a side rivet pop out on me soon after purchase. To me, that is totally unacceptable, I've had far cheaper jeans that never fell apart on me.

Okay...Here Goes.

I Am Going To Correct A Few Of The Mistakes That Have Been Made.

First Off, Emo Is The Most Overused Term I Have Ever Heard. Emo Does Not Mean Sweater Vest Nerds That Go Home And Slit Their Wrists Because Girls Won't Talk To Them, Nor Does It Mean The Bleached Hair Gothkid Fantasizing About Meeting Weezer.

The Meaning Has Changed To Accomodate What I Call The "Hollister Generation",

i.e. The Popular Kids You Find At The Mall Making Fun Of Nerds And Listening To All American Rejects.

I Am The Fashionista Metro Kid At My School, And I Have Not One, Not Two, But 26 Pairs Of Designer Jeans, Ranging From Acne To True Religion. (HA HA! IT'S SO FUNNY! LITTLE SPOILED RICH KID BUYS JEANS WITH DADDY'S MONEY!)

In Reality The Kind of People (Males, That Is) Wearing Tight Jeans Really Hang Out At The Burger Shop Down The Street Taling With Their Peers About How Amazing The Strokes Concert Was, (Me)

Or Hanging Out In Urban Outfitters Talking About How Amazing The Techno Rave The Night Before Was (Them)

for the record, i saw The Strokes at the Ryman Auditorium (one of the best places to see any band, anywhere) and they sucked. Their sound was great, but it's hard to listen to the same song over and over for an hour and a half. Now, Eagles of Death Metal opened for them, and they played a great show, but that's a whole different story.

and yea, we all have our tastes, but if you really, really like the strokes that much, i can't imagine your taste actually being any good. and congrats on your jean collection, but you genuinely sound like a stuck up douche

ha, i'm a dallasite myself, and that is where I am transferring to.If you've been here for a while, you would know that that is just not the scene here, few if any people venture outside of the abercrombie or goth box or business cas box.

Sorry you live in TX! lol

I'm not into street wear, so this doesn't really affect me, but if you don't like it, either put up or shut up.

Not being bitcy or anything, but like many of the other people have said here, this is the kind of thing that gives rise to creativity, so either do something about it or lie down and take it.

for the sake of science, how do the Tr's compare?

if that doesn't work, throw it in the microwave wet. This should work as long as there is no metal or embellishments that would melt.

My mother used to do this with any "innappropriate" shirts I bought, they shrunk a lot.

I would check it oftenthough, I have no idea how quick it is

Thanks for the constructive criticism!

I do have some straight diesels, liv and keate, I have yet to find the courage to go whole hogg and get tapered, but the j-brand stuff keeps looking better and better.

These are my "fun jeans" I have another pair in a light er wash and they are sooo comphy, but do not compare to the fit I get in straight jeans with "fuck me" heels.

As for before and after shots, that takes a ring on my finger before you get to see that

Best advice on this post!!!

Positive attitude.

Go n there and into your studying like you are going to whoop the tests ass.

Give yourself a peptalk, mine normally consists of things along the lines of making the test cry and letting a good red pen go to waste, etc.

I know it sounds corny, but it works like a charm, when I dont keep that attitude, I fail the test, if I allow myself to stress, I fail the test.

Good Luck!
