i went to see NIN the other week in dallas and i have not been to dallas since i was a little kid. anyhow the concert was at the AA center and i felt disgusted sitting in those seats looking around at all the bs mav crap they have in the arena. anyhow about the city itself.... well it's fuckin' lame! my buddies and i went out downtown after the concert and i swear to god we were the only ones down there on the streets. directly in the center of downtown and no one to be found, no bar open, no nothing to do. fuck dallas!

ps: we saw a lot of wrecks too. dallas folk can't drive either just like they can't win championships.

downtown dallas is not the place to go if you looking to have fun, go to bars, etc...Uptown or greenville is your best bet. there is also Deep Elum but I'd prefer not to get shot. Uptown is alot nicer, newer and safer than greenville/deep elum.

I take the Trinity Railway Express from FTW to downtown Dallas everyday. No fuckin' way I would drive that, not just for the money I save on the train, but also the lack of stress.

it isn't the giant suburb in the US (that's Mesa), but arlington sucks. that's all it is, a suburb.

and ride public transit. help the environment. you don't have to be a bum to ride it. have you seen the riders on dart? especially those on the north Red line?

[Spurminator]

I rode the DART when I worked downtown. I got to work faster than when I drove and I filled up my tank once every five or six weeks. Except for my car getting broken into four times in three years, it was totally worth it.

Dude my sociology professor told us that Arlington is the fastest growing suburb in the US so maybe I worded that wrong. And arlington has everything, the Parks Mall is one of the better malls in Texas. It's on the outskirts of dallas fort worth so not as much crime and riff raff, but still in driving distance of pretty much everything in the DFW. Plenty of major lakes in driving distance if you like the outdoors, and dont forget Six Flags. overall it's a decent place to live

[IronMexican]

But the truth is LA > All:king

[Findog]

the Parks Mall is one of the better malls in Texas.

I guess if you like malls. It's certainly the malliest of malls. Between it, the chain restaurants and big box retail, I personally can't stand having to navigate South Cooper.


It's on the outskirts of dallas fort worth so not as much crime and riff raff,

There's plenty of sketchy areas. It's only real benefit is that you're in the middle of the entire metropolitan area, so therefore it's a 30 minute drive to wherever you want to go. Most of my friends live in Dallas and I live in FTW, so do I want to deal with the drive to get over there? A lot of times I don't. If I were living in Arlington, that would be much easier. That's about the ONLY benefit to Arlington, in that every DFW attraction or point of interest is within "driving distance."

Houston and Dallas are in many respects the same city. They both have huge swaths that just suck ass (Dallas anything north of Mockingbird, Houston anything north of downtown), alongside pockets of coolness (Houston would be the Rice University area, Dallas certain parts of Oak Cliff, Uptown and the Lakewood area). I give Dallas the edge because the Houston humidity is just a bit worse, and you don't have to worry about tropical storms and hurricanes in north Texas. In terms of livability, the both pale in comparison to Austin. Austin equals them in nightlife. FTW doesn't have quite the nightlife that Dallas or Houston does, but it's more livable and it has enough nightlife (Sundance Square/West Seventh area). FTW is underrated.

[mavs>spurs2]

There's plenty of sketchy areas.

Once again my words failed me, what I mean is that I feel alot safer in the worst part of Arlington than say South Oak Cliff. I realize it's not perfect, go to the local park on a sunday and theres a chance someone pulls a gun i've seen it before. But alot of it is just white people and suburbs.

The downside to "only" being 30 minutes away from everything is that you're 30 minutes away from everything. I think if you're gonna live here, pick either Dallas or FTW and be done with it.

Lol at this whole post.

First, Arlington is no where near the fastest growing suburb in the US. Not even close. Go look at the Census stats. Second, the Parks Mall is not one of the better malls in Texas. It's nice, but not that nice. It's filled with fake wannabes and there is always some bullshit happening there. I can name a ton of malls in Texas that are better. It's not on the outskirts of DFW. It's right in the middle of Dallas and Fort Worth. The only good sides of Arlington are SW Arlington near Martin High School (where I go to school), and North Arlington around Lamar. Everywhere else could be better. A lot better. Especially areas in Central Arlington on Division Road and around Six Flags Mall.

[Findog]

What is the appeal of malls, anyway?

I'm sorry you go to such a shitty school. didnt you guys get beat up by that little school kennedale?

[GuerillaBlack]

And my parents know they made a mistake by moving to Arlington (well, dad, mom not so much). They don't want to move, because they would like me to graduate from Martin because I'm a senior. They much prefer Coppell or Grapevine better. So do I. The string of Plano/Allen/McKinney is another good area, but too far from things.

Now Kennedale, that is a city. All of your adult bookstore/GILF titty bar needs can be taken care of in Kennedale.

Dallas is still growing, just not as fast as Houston or SA (city limits only). Metro area wise, Dallas-Fort Worth (you have to add in Fort Worth), is the fastest, followed by Houston, Austin, and then SA. That of course, is raw numbers wise. Percentage wise, it's Houston, DFW, Austin, then SA (metro areas here).

In other words, Johnny_J_Jackson is looking like a dumbass.

I feel you if you are in High School... thats where all the young chics hang out, but if you are judging the lifestyle of cities then malls are not considered tourist attractions. The way you guys brag about your cities makes me not want to ever come there. I have been to Dallas and Houston though... the women were generous in both cities I might add:toast

Yeah, still in high school. I don't judge cities on malls though, but malls like Northpark or Houston Galleria are where I get most of my clothes though (unless I go online).

LA is the hotspot of the world. Its the only place on the planet that you can drive an hour in different directions and either wind up at the beach, the mountains in the snow, the desert, or the country up north.
