Sunday's NYT had an interesting piece on the fast-growing exurb of Frisco.  But the WSJ's Q&A today with Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly was a say-nothing story.  Frisco is exploding with a pop now of 82,000.  What draws residents? More house for the buck. Child-centered opportunities for stay-at-home moms (dads), conservative neighbors, and good schools. The school reputation is amazing, given that Frisco has gone from one elementary a decade ago to 18 today and four more scheduled to open next year, and a second high school already added. The drawbacks? "Life is framed by the hours spent behind the wheel" -- particularly for business commuters to downtown Dallas.  As for the WSJ's Marketplace front interview with SWA's Kelly...LaGuardia next year? Maybe yes, maybe no.  And maybe somebody else gleaned a nugget that I didn't see.
