Richardson, Texas

by mccalpin - last update: Mar 23, 2006

Richardson, a suburb of Dallas

Richardson, Texas, is a suburb of Dallas, Texas. Although Richardson was originally a farming community some 13 miles north of Dallas, by the 1950s, it had become part of the greater Dallas metropolitan area.

Richardson is the home of the Telecom Corridor, a term invited by the local Chamber of Commerce to refer to an area populated by businesses focused on the telecommunications industry. For this reason, Richardson hosts offices for Northern Telecom, Bell Northern Research, and other companies.

Wildlife in Richardson

Richardson is definitely the suburbs, but there is still wildlife (i.e., the four footed and winged kind) that passes through here.

Here is a mating pair of hawks in a tree outside my house in the Spring of 2006.

Look at the travelogues for more photos of wildlife literally in my backyard(!)
