Albermarle road had lots of good restaurants on it like Gradys, Casa Galardos and Rock Ola. (also Daryls which i didnt like that much)

There was an Ivys downtown.

The Christmas Bears at Eastland mall and Eastland mall rocked and was insanely crowded especially at Christmas.

When there was no Ballantyne.

My parents were about to build a house in Ballantyne before it was Ballantyne (1994ish). They decided not to because it was to far out and some real estate agents were saying you don't want to be near 485. lol they had some friends who built in that neighborhood and made a fortune when they sold their house.
