In a Dallas Suburb Lies a School…

by on June 25, 2008

In my freshman year at UT, I actually drove through Mesquite, Texas on the way to Tyler to meet some girl (way, WAY pre-Francy days). Back then, it was a sleepy little town on the outskirts of east Dallas. Looks like in the passing years, Dallas has pretty much assimilated it.

Apparently there was an elementary school built there in 1995:

Jay Thompson Elementary

What does this have to do with real estate?

Absolutely nothing.

I just thought it was funny. You, oh avid reader, probably not-so-much.

Now if we could just get a school named “Phoenix Real Estate Guy Elementary”, we’d be rockin’!

I'm a real estate broker in Phoenix, Arizona and the publisher of the Phoenix Real Estate Guy blog. I tend to drive too fast and scream at the University of Texas and Denver Broncos football teams. My two kids are smarter than most adults I know and my wife is simply amazing.

We always appreciate your comments! Phoenix Real Estate Guy uses two commenting systems, Facebook and LiveFyre. LiveFyre is the most robust system (and easy to use!). It allows you to login with Twitter, Facebook, Google+ LinkedIn, OpenId, LiveFyre and as a "Guest". I recommend getting a LiveFyre account, it has some great features (just click the LiveFyre button when you write your comment).

 

BLOG COMMENT POLICY: We respectfully ask that you use your real name (first name only is fine) and not use keywords (Why no keywords?). The only real "comment rules" are be civil -- no personal attacks -- and no advertising. (See the full comment policy here). Opinion and debate are welcome, but attack the idea, not the person.

Jay, did you look up the school report cards and see how your students are doing. Or is it just one of those party schools.
