I'm in Southern Europe. I have very dear friends in Dallas and Austin. I'm welcome to their homes any time I want. The thing is that I know that if I go, the only worthwhile thing would be being with friends. I've been to Dallas twice, and really don't know why anybody would go for tourism.
That plus the danger of entering the country.
Never have i seen so many billboards and ine story buildings
went back for a family thing, a lot of the billboards are gone, replaced with video billboards. so that's distracting.
one story buildings is just the historically low cost of square footage vs the cost of building upward. it's like this throughout the country - expensive land people want to occupy gets built up, the rest gets sprawled ever outward.
it's horrific unless you're fine with driving everywhere, often in moderate to heavy traffic if you're anywhere near population.
Dallas destroyed a relationship I was in. It was such a bad time that we just broke up afterwards. I can’t really explain it. But it’s a terrible place to go to.
