I can see for miles and miles

The Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex offers visitors a unique blend of Southwestern warmth, cosmopolitan flair, Old West charm and modern sophistication.

Historical aspects of Big "D"

Dallas has it's unique place in U.S. history. On Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on a downtown street.

Made for TV

It's also the home of Southfork Ranch...home of the 1980's hit TV show Dallas. That's right, you remember J.R. Ewing and all is dirty deeds along with the rest of the family.

But most importantly, I'd like to thank kodi01 and keeweechic for all of their helpful information...it really made our trip to Dallas a wonderful experience.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Many things to see and do in the area
  • Cons:Drivers are some of the worst in the nation
