Our story is the same. My mom’s neighborhood (75074) went full H1B. Ours (75098) went full Muslim.
Our favorite Saturday morning breakfast spot, the Country Club Cafe, is now a halal restaurant.
Our favorite Mexican food place, Cristina’s, closed after 15 years because some Indian dude bought their strip center and doubled their rent.
The real shocker: Christmas 2025 we went to Calloway’s to buy our tree. Their selection was thin. Weird, because it was early December. I asked the guy. His answer put me in a funk I still haven’t shaken: “The demographics of the area have changed. Not very many people around here celebrate Christmas anymore.” NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE HERE CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS?!?! WTF IS HAPPENING?!?!
We just paid our last (outrageous) Collin County taxes. We’ve bought property in Oklahoma. Very sad to be ex-Texans, but we’re done. Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX : GFY. Sincerely.
