There is a VULGAR amount of money in Highland Park. It must be nice...very, very, nice. On the other hand, what is it like to be a kid from there? "Stuff" is all he's ever known...he starts looking for a college to attend, and most of the schools he visits will have LESS facilities than his high school?
I realize that's not so uncommon in Texas anymore, but HP is on a different level than those, even.
