have you ever seen dallas
from a DC9 at night?
dallas is a jewel you know
dallas is a beauitful sight
dallas is a jungle
but dallas gives a beautiful light
jimmie dale gilmore ("mark it eight, dude") wrote that song but he wasn't from dallas, by the way...he was from lubbock.
i grew up in a suburb of fort worth. i can count on two hands the number of times we crossed the dallas county line when i was a kid. most of what i know about dallas geography comes from the fact that fort worth and dallas get the same TV stations. our impression of dallas was that it was a crime-ridden pothole-pockmarked cesspool of corruption, racial tension, and really bad schools. plus there's that smell when you're driving into dallas on 30 from the west. i think the freeway goes past a sewage plant or something.
from what i hear dallas is still a crime-ridden pothole-pockmarked cesspool of corruption, racial tension, and really bad schools. whereas fort worth is one of america's safest cities and it is home to the single greatest building built in america during the 20th century.
for the most part she is correct about dallas being a crime-ridden pothole-pockmarked cesspool of corruption, racial tension, and really bad schools, only now they're going to have three calatrava designed bridges which are prescribed to do everything for the city but cure cancer.
if you are looking for a place to live stick to the fort worth side. It costs less to live and the housing market downtown is really booming. the city is at that point where it is growing rapidly yet still affordable for most to live downtown if they choose. several historic buildings are being renovated into apartments so you could probably find a pretty affordable place. Also, downtown fort worth is expected to stimulate as many new jobs as downtown dallas over the next five years, to a base only half its size.
Dallas
