Grapevine is a city in Tarrant County, Texas, United States and a suburb of both Dallas and Fort Worth. It was known in its early years as Grapevine Prairie. An extremely small portion of the modern city of Grapevine extends into neighboring Denton and Dallas counties. As of the 2000 census the city population was 42,101, though the 2006 U.S. Census Bureau estimate puts the city's population at 48,583. In 2009, the population had jumped up to 51,038. The city is named for wild mustang grapes prevalent in the area (the high school football team is named the Mustangs). In recent years several wineries have opened in Grapevine, and the city has been very active in maintaining its area. The city is adjacent to Grapevine Lake, a large reservoir impounded by the Corps of Engineers in 1952. Part of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, which serves the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, is located inside the city limits of Grapevine. In 2007 CNNMoney.com rated Grapevine as one of "America's Best Places to Live."

Grapevine, Texas Video

Battling cancer, nine-year-old Jayla Cooper now gets her ONE BIG WISH. ---------- [FEB 21 2009] CLICK To Watch JONAS BROTHERS SURPRISE JAYLA ! : www.youtube.com CLICK To Watch JONAS Brothers EXPERIENCE: Interview & Life Story : www.youtube.com The bride was dressed in ruffled white and wore a tiara. The groom pledged to be her best friend forever. They exchanged rings, and the lucky North Texas couple swooned as they danced to their favorite song -- "Love Bug" by the Jonas Brothers. They may be a tender age -- Jayla Cooper is 9 and the groom, Jose Griggs, is 7 -- but their parents were behind them all the way. For Jayla, who has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia and who, according to her doctors, may only have weeks to live, the "wedding" was less a dream come true than a last wish. "He is very cute, and I love him," Jayla said of Jose, who has a chronic and more treatable form of leukemia with a strong prognosis of recovery. "I was so excited and happy," she told ABCNews.com. "It was really fun, and we had dances and did a lot of things." She met her husband-to-be at a Halloween party while they were both being treated at the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children's Medical Center in Dallas. "They did it right, like the real deal," according to hospital spokeswoman Jessica Newell, who said it was more of a celebration of friendship. "It was really sweet." Jayla wanted all the fanfare of a wedding -- including 150 guests, floral arrangements <b>...</b>

This is video from corrupt cop that pulled me over. Officer Savage claimed I was speeding & had no license plate light but my tail light was OK on my jeep. He turns off mic while giving me a ticket & uses choice words & turns it back on forgeting he is on camera. His partner tries to warn him while he is talking. You can hear him call me a cocksucker before turning off the mic. After entering a plea of not guilty, all charges were dropped with-in a week when they found out I had a copy of the video. They kept harassing me for over a year until I sold the jeep. The cops are near the Texas Motor Speedway (Hwy 114) and LOVE to give out tickets. Seems like a small town money making scheme.

Finally after many times of fighting internet troubles, camera card and Youtube glitches, and this crazy Texas weather, I am able to now upload my 100TH YOUTUBE VIDEO!! I want to say thanks to all of my friends and subscribers for your support. For this video I want to also extend a huge thanks to Texas Toyota of Grapevine for not getting on me about making videos at their dealership. They know I'm not a salesman, and I have respected that notion as such, therefore I have and will not be mentioning prices or anything relating to attempting to sell a vehicle in my videos. If you wish to know the price of a certain vehicle that I feature or wish to learn more about a certain dealership (such as viewing current inventory), I will most certainly give you that dealer's contact information via PM. For my 100th video, I chose to make a tour of the 2011 Toyota Avalon Limited sedan. Now to some of you, this car may not be as epic as say a Ferrari, Lambo or something sporty and exotic like that, but to me, it was treat within itself to even be able to tour one of the new 2011 Avalons. Ever since I saw the commercial for this car, I was itching to get a tour of one. Now even though there is no start up in this video, I was foolish enough to not ask for the keys to do a start up, so the dealership did nothing but leave the car open for me to tour. So before you go criticizing the dealership for not giving me the keys, just know it was mine, not the dealer's fault. The 2011 Avalon was <b>...</b>

Thanks to Sean Briggs, New Car Director at Texas Nissan of Grapevine, and his sales personnel who made this tour possible. If you're looking for a new or pre-owned Nissan, and a friendly sales staff to help you out, then check out Texas Nissan of Grapevine, at the intersection of Hwy 114 and Grapevine Hwy. in Grapevine, or check out the website at www.mytexasnissan.com for the latest inventory. In this tour I feature the 2010 Nissan Altima 3.5SR Sedan in "Tuscan Sun" with a Blonde (Tan) interior. The Altima has been one of Nissan's most popular cars on the market today. The Altima competes in a vast catagory of entry level mid-size cars with models like the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion, and lately, the 2011 Hyundai Sonata. Throughout the years, it's undergone some redesigns, some of which became quite radical in some aspects. This latest design uses essentially the same format as the previous 2009 model, but with minor changes such as a slightly reshaped grill, headlights and new trim levels such as the SR, shown here. The interior is roomy with plenty of space for 4 or 5 people. The leather seats in this particular Altima SR are plush, but not too soft, and not too firm either. All the buttons are within reach and easy to access for things like the radio, windows, door locks, and sunroof. For power, the standard Altima and Altima Coupe feature a choice of 2 engines. The first of which is a 2.5L I4 (S, SE, and SR trims are available), and a 3.5L VQ35DE V6 that <b>...</b>
