Lorie Lisius is the Senior General Manager at The Parks Mall at Arlington.

She shared with us how she's living her American Dream in the City of Arlington, TX:

Arlington is more than just my place of work. It's my home.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington and have remained here since.

I met and married my husband here (also a UTA grad). We chose to raise our family in Arlington because it provides the best of both worlds: a beautiful quaint city where neighbors know their neighbor, and the opportunities and amenities of a big city.

Aside from great shopping venues like The Parks at Arlington, Arlington has great schools, great parks, great entertainment venues, great cultural events and most of all - great people.

Whether in my role as senior general manager of The Parks at Arlington or just running errands on the weekends, I always see someone I know.

There's always a friendly wave, a smile, or greeting when you're in Arlington. It's that warm feeling of community that makes it special!
