Dallas, Texas

[buster]

Dallas isn't all that nice. The best cities in Texas, IMO, are Austin, and San Antonio. The rest are just ok.

If you haven't been to NYC, you should go. You'll seen an even more distinct contrast between the wealthy and poverty. Just as The Critic LOL.

That's Joe T Garcia's in Ft Worth.

The roads get beat-up when we have Ice Storms, We don't know what Snow is, But we know what 3" of solid Ice is.

I've been to Vancouver on a Navy boat. Love that place.

Austin is beautiful land-wise,but it's too full of pseudo hippies and people who think it's uncool to bathe and use deodorant. Can't stand the liberal politics and the homeless bums everywhere. Everyone i know who lives there hates it and has escaped to the suburbs.

But it's in the most beautiful hill country in the US.

sounds like my kind of town (politically)but i hate both hippies, and hipsters, which all accounts say run rampant in Austin.

and while i've never been to Austin, We Did drive from Ft.Worth to Fredricksburg a couple years back. truly is beautiful(and naturally Mildly radioactive) Hill Country. (many of the Hills are Granite Domes, and the Granite Contains either Uranium or Plutonium...I forget...

LOL where in the world did you get a hotel? yes Midwest from what I know is VERY segregated, Dallas would be the same I would think.

good neighborhoods here are good to the point that we leave our front doors always open...just saying...

bad neighborhoods here, you don't even leave your thoughts unattended or you will get taken advantage of.

The hotel itself was quite nice and wasn't near anything I would classify as "bad". Probably about 5 minutes from the hospital?. Also near a brand new Holiday Inn that was going up.

We vacationed around Dallas several times in the 70's and early 80's. Back then it was a pretty decent area.

We were in the Little Elm/McKinney area for a wedding 2 months ago and I was surprised at the change. Filled with densely packed neighborhoods and typical strip malls, it no longer had the open feel that the area had in the past. All that population density translated to a stereotypical overpopulated suburbia feel. During the week we were there the police responded to 2 different incidents in the "upscale" neighborhood that we were visiting.

I'll give McKinney credit-the town square area has been nicely done (the wedding was held at the performing arts center). But beyond that the area was nothing more than another poorly planned, overpopulated, boilerplate suburb filled with ticky-tacky tract homes.
