The industrial section of North Garland is absolutely JAM PACKED with small,
medium and large machinists. Just head for the area around 78/Lavon and
North Garland Ave and drive around. There is a machinist, welder or some
other kind of metal worker in about every 3rd business. I kid you not. In
fact, I have often wondered if we have the distribution and manufacturing
base to start a pinball company in Garland!!! You walk around that area and
every few blocks hear the thundering drumming of a machine press going 24/7!
