Bwahahaha!

Most of Collin County was very rural, before the White Flight phenomenon
kicked in during the mid 80s and neo-Plano (before just a tiny Podunk
holler with brick streets) boomed into existence.

The rural landscape was littered with farms and small settlements, some of
which were established long ago and some which just sprang up for various
reasons, county establishment not being too hard to get, at the time.
Lolaville was really something of a disporting joke, actually.

Est after the Civil War by freed Slaves. They built homes and stayed until
the late 1960's. Today an abandoned fruit stand with the name of Lolaville
on it is all that remains. Located on the SW corner at the intersection of
Hwy 121 and Hwy 289 (Preston Rd).

It was conventionally more well known as *NIGGERTOWN* -- LoL!

Moving up FM 289 (aka Preston Road) was an adventure, just after the late
60s, when a cluster of whorehouses (mostly delapidated trailers) became
established there, apparently due to county "commerce" cooperation.  They
disappeared quickly when "progress" demanded, along with a healthy palm
pasting of "officials", as neo-Plano became more developed.

Then, the same whore haunts and more sprang from the ashes along 121,
which also disappeared, after "officials" ordered a drug sting, thanks
to another healthy palm pasting from "interested parties".
