A few exits north of Dallas lies the bubbling town of Frisco, which I quickly learned is a mecca for sports fans and has plenty to sustain itself for a weekend of adventure. Frisco was the final stop in my grand tour of North Texas after days spent in Dallas and Plano. Here’s what I … Continue reading
