Come Fly With Me

"Come fly with me,
let's fly,
let's fly away.
If you can use some exotic booze.
There's a bar in far Bombay.
Come fly with me,
let's fly,
let's fly away."
- Frank Sinatra









Ever since the old Founders' Plaza closed almost 2 years ago, we have been anticipating this opening day of the new one. Now located on the NW corner of DFW airport, Founders' Plaza offers the BEST place to enjoy any beautiful day. The opening ceremony began at 10:00 this morning. A parade filled with horses, drill teams, a marching band, police, a fire truck, and other DFW airport VIP circled the plaza's street as we sat front row, curb side to witness. Carly Patterson sang the National Anthem as the flags were raised and we even had a fly by while 2 fire trucks sprayed their hoses in the distance. It all concluded with a free lunch of hot dogs and apple pie...truly American!


Founders Plaza - By The Numbers
3 - Shaded pavilions
4 - Panoramic view finders
6 - Acres of park land - double the previous site
6 - Picnic areas
24 - Hours of round-the-clock security
30 - Parking spaces
278,372 - Approximate number of aircraft to takeoff or land over in a single year near the site



Over the years, Founders Plaza has also earned a soft spot in the hearts of North Texans as well as made multiple "Best Of" lists compiled by community media. The Fort Worth Weekly voted Founders Plaza "Best Place to Watch a Sunset" in 2004. The Dallas Observer voted Founders Plaza Best of 2003 "Best Free Kids Outing." And the former location was even recognized as "Best Place to Make Out" in 2000 by the Dallas / Arlington Morning News.
