From: Jennifer K. on 2 Sep 2006 19:23 Well, I lived there from 1985-1989 and adored living there. I still love going to Fort Worth, to the zoos and museums and the stockyards and Joe T. Garcia's, I like going to Arlington to watch the Rangers (even moved near the stadium in 1987 and went nearly every night, I'm a huge baseball nut). I love the Park Cities in Dallas, the whole Preston Village area, my gosh the restaurants and shopping in that area...I love pro sports, went to the Mavs all the time, I love Northpark, love the original Neimans downtown (I worked downtown)...what's not to love? Big concerts and shows come there...and *for me* it's the most perfect climate, year round. My brother lives there, on my recommendation, and he agrees...not too cold, not as hot as where we grew up, just right! Oh yeah, and I even love country music, I feel sure that you do not...but you can hear a lot of great live music all over the metroplex. I loved seeing Lyle Lovett at Tommy's in Deep Ellum...Dwight Yoakam at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth, etc...wish I could move back but my hubby's in the refinery business, so it will be Houston at best...but I love Houston almost as much as Dallas, just not the climate!

So Six Flags wouldn't be a draw to get them to fly here for a visit. Once they've seen the Sixth Floor exhibit they've always felt they've seen everything Dallas has to offer.

You make me want to reach for a big glass of water just hearing you talk about being outside in that heat. <G> Anything more than 99 and I'm as grumpy as I can get. Dave in Dallas - The one and only!

OK, you're a Texas native and not a transplant or a mere tourist. So you see Dallas not as a outsider but as someone who has a direct, emotional connection to the city as part of your home state. I understand that completely. I like a lot of the things you listed as well. As I said, there is a lot to recomend living here. We feel it's a good life we have found in Dallas. It's just that the things that attract a local sometimes are hard to get people to fly from another state to share with you. Oh well, I guess I'll have to put up with meeting them in other places for a get together now and again. But I got to say we see things quite differently on the "Not too hot, not too cold" area. There is a woman here in town that has a business of home baked cookies she's baked in her car that is sitting in the Dallas sun. That's WAY too hot for me. As far as country music goes, I can get into it. I really like the classic Texas Swing sounds the best. I like and respect most types of music. Even though my most favorites are 20s, 30s and 40s jazz and swing. Give me Duke Ellington or Ella Fitzgerald and I'm a happy man. Now Houston. That's a city I could coax friend to visit with me. There is a LOT going on in Houston that has a big draw for visitors. Same with San Antonio. Dave in Dallas - The one and only! Accept no substitutes.

Our next home will probably be in San Antonio. I hate that there's no pro baseball. LOL. But it's my DH's company headquarters, and the ultimate goal is the corporate office, I guess. Thanks for the conversation, I spent 42 years in TX, now it's one whole year in Delaware...the two previous years we were in Houston, which you are right, is pretty wonderful. Jennifer > Now Houston.
