Addison! Texas, a place to Be

Addison!

The soft blue-grey sky spiked by a cotton wave of apricot glow from the setting sun. The swollen white moon tucks itself behind evening clouds. A warm wind blows over dry brown grass.

The roads large and intimidating, streaked with luxury cars and SUV's looming.

A young boy leaves the music studio and sings as he rounds the rotary, skipping under the web of deep blue steel sculptures suspended on matching steel beams. Zero 7 smoothlyh pours out of speakers flanking the doors to a salad shop, its sole occupant the handsome dark haired server.

Addison! Circle Esplanade Park. Dry roses hand full and blonde on tall green bushes along the wide walkway. The park slopes down in an almost ampitheater form.

Busses lurch out of their hub, behind the park. Dog owners and runners move quickly in the warm fading evening.

Smells from nearby restaurants sail on breezes through the clusters of hotels flanking Quorum Drive.
