More on Burleson, Texas
Description from Wikipedia:
Burleson is a city in Johnson and Tarrant Counties in the U.S. state of Texas. It is considered a suburb of Fort Worth and is located in the rapidly growing suburban expanse just south of the city. As of 2006, the population was 30,300, up from 20,976 at the 2000 census. Burleson is named for Rufus C. Burleson, President of Baylor University at Waco.
Burleson is the hometown of singer, songwriter, actress, and American Idol season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson, American volleyball player and three-time Olympian Stacy Sykora, and singer Jonathan Cook and drummer Kyle Burns of Forever the Sickest Kids. The annual Christianity-related See You at the Pole prayer event originated in Burleson. The city was notable for being a "prohibition" or almost completely dry town, until the November 7, 2006, election when alcohol sales were legalized. The northern reaches of Burleson lie in Tarrant County where merchants were previously allowed to sell alcoholic beverages.
