GRAPEVINE, Texas
hilarious...now, when I would hear/read "heard through the grapevine", I would think of this Texas place, which is real, btw (population ~51K)
Grapevine is a part of the greater "DFW", or Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Also known as the Metroplex. Grapevine actually straddles the division between Dallas and Ft Worth... spanning three counties actually.
The greater Dallas area is home to approaching 9 million humans.
Grapevine is a hub for retail commerce mostly... interesting place. I have been there.
