That’s close to the National Videogame Museum, which is well worth a visit!

Also near the Snowcone Lady.

Trivia: What was the mascot for Frisco High before it was changed to “Raccoons”?

The Fighting Coons. But since "coon" is considered a racist term they changed it.

But if they're so worried about racist terms, how does South Garland get to stay the Colonels? (Enough to convince my SO to become a Lakeview Centennial Patriot instead)

I sent these to my buddy who lives near there and he said he rides his bike daily and said the pile has been there for a few days but knew exactly where it was... I wouldn't be surprised if the houses near there each have a pile of ammo the size of those stacks in their garages...

Yes, I do actually. And I've had hundreds of bricks delivered without a claw truck and they were delivered on pallets.

but thanks for pretending to be a know it all

Fake ACME delivery, not on pallet.

Brick isn’t delivered on pallets. It’s delivered in cubes strapped and wrapped. Holes for forks to lift from.

I’ve unloaded many a cube of bricks.

Most bricks are delivered with a truck-mounted fork-lift.

If you'll notice the two holes in the brick stacks. Those are for the forks to lift the bricks up.

Yep. Anyone whose ever bought a cube of bricks knows how they are delivered and unloaded. Can’t see a brick company just randomly delivering piles of bricks to street corners without asking questions.

So protesters are going to what looks like a suburban office park to riot?

Yep, see em. Most of the brick jobs I worked in ancient history time were primarily industrial, not face brick like in the picture. In those situations, the bricks were pattern bricks for specific jobs at the plants, etc. Came on pallets.

I'll concede the picture represents residential application, and you are right, no pallet.

That water tower is still standing near the corner of Preston and Main, I think. The part with the old name was painted over.

How is Colonel, a military rank denoting the pay grade of O6, a racist term?

Yep. Better stick to the major cities. The bullets they fire in the country won't be made of rubber.

Preston and Main

Did you know the first Southfork Ranch was there for the TV show Dallas? I think it’s the northeast corner. Only used for the five-episode first season until it went to that one we all know, down in Parker (east of Plano).
