Nah, he's from Arlen.

Besides, if you stopped he'd probably try to sell you some propane or propane accessories.

Well for Mexican food she needs to go to
Marianos
2614 Majesty Dr
Arlington, TX
Tel: (817) 640-5118
Ask For Maye (Pronounced MY-Yeah!)
If she's old enough and likes margarita's get the meltdown. Just be careful...they got some kick!!
It's right off of Hwy 360 near Sixflags.
Of course then there's Six Flags if she's into that.
Could take in a Ranger game.
She could drive over to Dallas and go to my favorite Beer Bar. The Gingerman!
Go to "The Oasis" on Joe Pool lake.
I didn't like the food there when I went but others have raved about it.
Nice view though.

Never liked that place.
I just can't figure out why people are drawn to other peoples overpriced junk.
The only thing I ever got there was sore feet.

Used to be the first thing out of the wifes mouth some 20 odd yrs ago.
"Lets go to Traders Village"
My reply was, "See ya!"
I went a handful of times and decided that there was nothing there for me.
I don't like crowds or garage sales.
This place is like a giant crowded garage sell.

Hey there is a little piece of Marianos near Arlington VA.
They invented the Frozen Margarita machine.
One of their first machines (if not the first) is in the Smithsonian!!
