  • Krissy S
    "Very diverse area. High speed is a great problem. Especially when they go 10 to 15 over the speed limit on Robinwood Lane. Ridiculous contact from both the fire department and the police department. Not sure why I was simply trying to dispose of moving boxes. That were wet due to the fact that the garage does not stay dry. That the Denton Fire Department was here."
