I don't know any landmarks there, or any good places but what usually works is something industrial, or something with water. As long as you have a simple background, and no poles growing out of the car, chances are good you'll have some great pictures.

Good luck!

any high income cities usually have really cool building such as high;and park, plano (shops at legacy), frisco. What I do is put a full tank of gas in my car and get lost. Than when I find a spot I take pictures than save the location on my phone.

i do the same thing. all the time. its also fun to just drive around with no place to go. to see where it takes you and where you end up. i also like the ford dealership idea.

If the cars sharp enough it still looks good even with a pole growing out of it! Well at least good enough to win COTM on another board!

Somewhere with city buildings or water in the background are always cool.
