A new Dairy Queen, the Texas Stop Sign, recently opened in Frisco, Texas. The new location is just south of Main on the east side of Preston Road near the heart of old Frisco.
 Copyright 2010 - Tom Branch I’m not originally from Texas. The Air Force brought me here in 1979 and stationed me at Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock. On one of my many motorcycle rides in the Panhandle, I stumbled upon a Dairy Queen.
While I liked ice cream, I was really hungry that day. I’d never heard of a Country Basket nor cream gravy. It was love at first bite! My tour of duty at Reese ended and I was transfered to Germany (German food is also wonderful but that’s the subject of another blog) but I never really forgot about DQ.
As luck would have it, the Air Force brought me back to Texas several times over my 21-year career. I eventually retired and settled in Dallas. Imagine my disappointment to discover that there were only a couple of DQs within driving distance–one in McKinney and one in east Plano.
One of my neighbors is employed by DQ’s corporate headquarters and I was complaining about the lack of a local DQ. I got a nice surprise when he told me about the new Frisco location! Needless to say I’ve been up there a couple of times already.
The Frisco DQ is located at 8890 Preston Road.

By Tom Branch, on November 17th, 2010 Having lived all over the world as a result of being both a military brat and then serving for 21 years on my own, I’ve been witness to the change of seasons in many states and countries.
I’m a huge fan of fall colors as the trees make their transition into winter. Colorado and New Mexico have their yellow Aspens, Montana’s Rocky Mountains were wonderful, but the best color I’ve ever seen were the Maple trees in the Northern Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.
 Copyright 2010 - Tom Branch Last week I was out listing a Short Sale property in Frisco, Texas and came upon a Silver Leaf Maple that reminded me of my time spent in Tupper Lake, New York after my father retired from the Air Force in the early 1970’s.
Rather than a bright red, the leaves were a shade of scarlet, but it was nice to see the color. Sometimes you just have to stop and admire nature’s beauty.
It’s been almost 35 years since I last witnessed the change of color in New England. Dallas, Texas is my home but it reminded me that I need to make a trip back one fall to take it all in again.
