I liked it being there because I could go there for Mercedes parts and to Zim's for Porsche parts! Zim's is right next door.

I guess with the whole Collyville and Southlake boom the center of money has shifted to Grapevine.

(By the way, I am so old I can remember when 114 was a two lane highway.)
Do you remember when Dallas rd in Gvine-was 114 buisness and there was a go-cart track coming into Grapevine-- the parking lot was paved with --Do you know?????
This was pre DFW airport, when still being planned, about 68.
