      Arlen. With an “e”. I’ve heard from multiple sources that it’s taken after “Garland TX” though, so it’s an easy mistake to make.

        The city King of the Hill’s Arlen is based on is Richardson Texas, which is the next city over from Garland. It’s close enough it’s an easy mistake, and probably not a coincidence.
