Jaylan Ford is a fixture outside the Parks Mall at Arlington, where he dances nearly every day to Taylor Swift tunes in heavy rotation. Commuters have now repaid his infectious joy.
If you drive in Arlington past the intersection of Cooper and Pleasant Ridge outside the Parks Mall at Arlington, you've probably seen Jaylan Ford dancing his heart out on a traffic island.
"It feels good every day 'cause I'm doing something positive," Ford said, smiling ear-to-ear."They're like, 'why is he so happy? Why is he dancing? Why is he happy?'" "I don't know where he gets the energy, but he loves getting up in the morning and making people smile," Munguia said."He's a big 'Swifty.' He loves Taylor Swift. He told me she was coming to concert here soon and that he'd love to be there, and so I decided to see what I could do."6 hours ago
