Welcome to AK! Have to admit I've never heard of Trophy Club, and I lived sort of in the area for 4 years.

I lived in Dallas from 2000-2002 north east right up near Garland, Plano, Richardson, Mesquite. Off Jupiter near MLK. . .
Dallas/Ft Worth area is a great place to live. Lots of Audio deals there in that part of the world.
I will never forget walking into what looked from the outside to be nothing but a big building with a few little junk stores attached to it. . . Sign in front saying "Flea Market" is the only thing that would give you any clue that you could go inside.
I walked in the door and found a giant city inside that building with thousands of people everywhere. Shops everywhere. It was the biggest thing I have ever seen in my life. I remember thinking "Where are all the cars"? . . .
I guess I must have came in on the back side or something but that was the biggest baddest collection of Thrift Stores/ Pawn Shops/ Restaurants/ Outlet Stores/ Barber Shops/ Electronic Repair Shops on and on that I have ever even heard of much less seen. . .
I liked Dallas. . . The company I work for moved me there and moved me away from there. Don't miss the heat but in reality its no worse than anywhere else.
