What was hatched as a plan for a nice day trip out of the DFW area turned into a horror show when we pulled into town and saw the desolate downtown square. Run down, beat up, rode hard and put away wet. Regrettably, the visit lasted all of an hour, and after taking a few pictures near the replica Eiffel Tower (which was quite fun, incidentally), ...
I have lived in many places already, and I don't see myself ever living somewhere else again than in Paris. Relaxed, not a lot of traffic, one of the least expensive towns in the USA to live in (even with a strong economy), and lots of entertainment only 1 1/2 hours away in Dallas.

Not a Tourist Attraction
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/16/06

During my 5 month stay here in Paris TX, I did not find anything worthwhile doing and a lot of the attractions were non-impressive and over-rated if ...
