DALLAS
We all know dallas kicks ace. All of texas kicks ace except Ft. Worth. Forth Worth blows bc they copy dallas in everything and its only a bunch of redneck NASCAR fans running around wearing cowboy hats and jeans with buckles half the size of them. To sum it up, Texas rocks, Dallas Rocks, Ft Worth Blows!!! :D
Does Texas really kick ass? Why? I've never been there, and you haven't presented me any reason to want to go there, other than your opinion that it "kicks ace." So, what's in Dallas besides the "grassy knoll" and a million people?
At least you gave somewhat of an explanation as to why Ft. Worth blows. :)
First i will ignore the mocking. But anyway Dallas "kicks ace" for many reasons which include: The Dallas Cowboys (they may suck now but the got history), Mavericks (awesome now), there arent whores everywhere (this could be a bad thing for some of you), its clean, not freezing cold, not a bunch of hicks, nut full of fat people (coughHOUSTONcough), not full of inbreds (which isnt bad unless you like kids that are as quick as molasses), and there is a texas spirit that inhabits the land (i know its corny).
Now, Ft Worth sucks bc they copy dallas in everything. And it is a dump (at least what i have seen of it), TCU sucks, those damn Radio Shack buildings that look so stupid, and finally at there science museum they have a whole bunch of mullet growing rednecks waving on top of a roof and whining about the negative effect of light pollution on the moon. Because you now all those people on the moon sure do get pissed
If you need more explanation then ask
And the grassy knoll incident was in the 60's and we do not endorse that crap.

It wasn't mocking so much as goading you into offering something of substance about Dallas.

Dallas is at no. 5 on the fat cities list, after Houston, Chicago, Detroit, and Philadelphia.
Nobody was endorsing the grassy knoll. It's about the only thing I really know about Dallas, other than the fact that it's one of the largest cities in the US.
So, are there good art museums there? What about food? Are the people friendly? What's a hip yet earthy place to hang out a la Philadelphia's South Street or Chicago's Wicker Park?
It's not that hard. :)

Well YES. Dallas is home to the Meadows art museum at Southern Methodist University. It is i believe like the biggest or 2nd biggest museum of Spanish art outside Spain. I haevnt been but i have heard it is magnificent. Food is superb. Dallas is the home of the original Chile's, and has other great casual and formal places but there are too many to name some examples are Landry's and Burger House(very casual). Hang out spots would be Deep Ellum for clubing and for a good earthy spot that a lot of people are, a there a tons of parks but i cant think of anything like central park or south street, tell you if i can. And are the people nice, well this is the south and that is a pointless question bc the south is home to the nicest people in the nation. We talk to random people.
If you want websites i will give them to you :D

I'm guessing, then, that you've never been to San Angelo?
How about El Paso?
What about San Angelo? I have never been there, but i have been to El Paso. Its not bad, just a little hot. Little is an understatement. But its not bad. I didnt see much, I just went visted UTEP and went to Jaurez but nothing else.

Ever eat at <a href="http://www.snuffers.com/">Snuffer's</a>? I know the girl whose dad owns the place. He built the original himself after getting discharged from the Navy. He didn't have any money, and liked to cook. Everyone always said he made a decent hamburger, so he decided to see just how good it was. She also told me that at first he was so poor that he sometimes had to sleep in the office or on a booth when he couldn't afford rent. Last time I saw him, he was driving a new Benz convertible V-12. Nice car. I've never tasted his burger, though.
For those of you who can't see it 'cause you're at work...
http://www.digipulse.org/images/CL103.jpgYes i have eaten at Snuffers! It is a great place to hang out and the cheese fries are the best. Snuffers is awesome.
For those of you that think dallas is just a prarie town with a bunch of cowboys n six-shooters
Hey clown would your friend whose dad created snuffer's happen to live in Highland Park?
Classic, Nic. Dig on the title. :)
I lived in the Dallas area (Irving) for about 6 years (only moving to the Charlotte, NC area 7 months ago).
My impression was that downtown Ft. Worth was cleaner, better-lit at night, and felt a lot safer (cops on bicycles all over) than downtown Dallas. If you only get into the big city every once in a while, Ft. Worth seemed to be a nicer atmosphere than Dallas, in my limited experience.
I hear they got some tasty burgers! I ain't never had one myself. How are they?

Catch my drift...? :D
I lived in Austin for 8 years and would travel to Dallas/Fort Worth on business. The Dallas Museum of Art has a fine encyclopedic collection and in Fort Worth, there is the Kimball Art Museum, which is great. Fort Worth has more soul than Dallas. Dallas is big, sprawling, car-scale, chain-store, oil-boom city but Fort Worth has some history. The traffic through Dallas at rush hour in August is perhaps the most heinous I have ever endured.
If you're heading to TX, I would recomend a trip to Austin, Houston, or San Antonio - over DFW. These three all have history, distinctive neighborhoods to explore, good unique food, arts, sports and/or sites.
Yes! SA is a great town. If you only have a day or two, then I would definitely head to San Antonio. If you have extra time, Austin, then Houston.
San Antonio is quite a city. The river walk alone is worth the trip. As I remember, they just finished cleaning it a while back. (I know it's a chain, but not everyone has a <a href="http://www.dickslastresort.com/">Dick's Last Resort</a>. Go there if you have a chance.)
The river walk is great, there are music clubs, cafes all along, under the city like another world. Touring the missions is very cool, too. And on the westside of town, perhaps the best Texas offering, found at any local joint: Great Breakfast Tacos. Potato, egg and cheese (maybe chorizo), and pico on fresh corn tortilla.
What's San Antonio (or Texas for that matter), without the <a href="http://www.austin360.com/aas/metro/kelso/0502/052402.html">Alamo</a>?
Relating to the link, Kelso is a funny writer for the Statesman. Today's column (about the First Lady) is pretty humorous.
Ha! I can see the BBQ parties as they torch it and wrap up shooting. Dang!
I confess I got sidetracked deep into the gorgeous images of Town Lake bats from the gallery. Purty.
