Introducing Dallas
Big hair, big egos and big guns. Flashy TV-show millionaires and heroic/criminal football players are what outsiders see of Dallas. The reality is not unrelated. OK, while the hairstyles have been tamed, the ‘Big D’ is still highly image-conscious. That’s all right, the upscale ethos in this town of 1.2 million makes for a great dining scene – you can tell which place is hot by the caliber of cars the valet leaves out front. Then there’s all that shopping. Oh, and some folks come for the history of JFK’s assassination (and memories of JR Ewing being shot). Visit for a couple days, but don’t try to scratch the surface too deep – you’ll come up empty.
