Default Planning a trip to Southlake....What to Do??

Will be going down to Southlake which is near Grapevine...just wondering what shops were down there to check out, or some of the local boards there to see what is going on...

RPM is in Lewsiville, and thats about it for local. You could drive to the other side of Dallas and check out Fastech. Both great shops.

Southlake is expensive tho man, if you're gonna do any regular shopping I'd find my way elsewhere, unless you've got some deep pockets. Bunch of rich folks live there!!

I work for a real estate company in Southlake. In fact, I work with my mother and she sold Chris Robinson his house. If you need help finding a place, let me know.

BTW, I live here too.
