I for one feel as though the close proximity of I35 allows for easy travel and always makes for an easy travel plan. I think the city has plenty in terms of entertainment, I mean I've never had a boring weekend out on the town. I do enjoy time at the Rock It Man Entertainment over on Bent Tree Hills.
