The Growing Town with Lake Attitude

NTTA Rendition

This is a quiet community which enjoys spring & summer music in the park; all sitting just off Lake Lewisville. Besides being a lake town; Little Elm, TX has plenty of shopping and if you can't find it here, it's close enough to Frisco, Plano and Dallas.
Access to major highways is improving everyday. If you work from 8am-5pm, it can be a challenge at times, but traffic is rarely at a standstill and tends to move quicker than you might expect. The city is adding roads in some cases and extra lanes to major roads in others. Highways include: the Dallas Tollway, Highway 380, and 121. The Lewisville Lake Toll Bridge is also being constructed to connect Little Elm to I35. It's a town growing up nicely to accommodate the increasing population.

This is not good... Oil prices hit record high


Frank Holmes, it appears you were mostly right. The problem is that the dollar is not rising and may not any time soon. Today, a barrel of oil went up to $133.79!

Could it be that we have finally reached that point where how we consume this resource matters? Must we actually consider changing our habitual behaviours, like... driving? Should our city councils think about mandating energy saving measures for home builders, as Frisco, TX recently did? New homes in Frisco must meet federal Energy Star efficiency standards.

A small step, but an important one. This takes more than a city or a village. It will take a serious attitude towards a problem; much like a sore tooth, that just won't go away. In addition to a grassroots effort on all of our part; it will also take a concerted effort from the federal government.
