Dallas is on the Trinity River in the center of Dallas County in North Central Texas. It is crossed by Interstate highways 20, 30, 35, and 45. The city was founded by John Neely Bryan, who settled on the east bank of the Trinity near a natural ford in November 1841. Bryan had picked the best spot for a trading post to serve the population migrating into the region. The ford, at the intersection of two major Indian traces, provided the only good crossing point for miles.

Lots of interesting stuff here Mark. Good practical transport tips, nice-sounding restaurants and I like the woodpecker shot too!
One of the most famous cities in USA. Nice page
Mark, lots of very useful tips on Dallas! Nice photo too of that Red-Bellied Woodpecker!
Maybe, just maybe, we might get to visit here one day.........
Great Dallas tips.. I hope that all your travels go well. Best wishes from traveling Canadians!
Sometime insted of driving AROUND Dallas, we need to take the train into the West End! But, I also want to see the window from where JFK was shot.
Loved the travelogues! Great intro with facts about Dallas. Good restaurant tips, and the West End looks quite interesting.
Fancy that!! And Dallas has a big eye too haha!! Love those train shots Mark, looks like you guys had fun :o) Oh and I've never heard of fish tacos? Cheers, Ann :o)
Honestly, I'm not a fan of Dallas, but enjoyed the page. El Salvadorean food sounds good- love those fish tacos!!
Hah, what can I possibly add to VT about Texas that hasn't already been said!?! (Will be in Dallas later this year, enjoyed the West End link, thanks!)
