Next up for the last of the 2007 series, Gary, Detroit, and Chicago.

Dallas doesn't look bad. Seems to be some decent density there.

Better then I expected!

You did a lot of damage in a little amount of time!  Where's JR Ewing?

Rather nice-looking town. I might want to visit, but I'm not sure I'd want to live there.

I didn't think I'd like this thread much, but I was pleasantly surprised.  Thanks, Chris!

This is THEE window folks...

huh?

That is the window that Lee Harvey Oswald fired the fatal shot on President Kennedy.

When I went to Dallas for a conference two years ago, one of my teachers was surprised that their downtown is dead after five.

 

His reply "Wow, so it isn't only an Ohio thing!

 

In what little I saw of Dallas, it was nice. I would like to go back and explore more.

I think alot of Ohioans/Clevelanders/etc. think that it IS just an Ohio/Cleveland/Columbus thing.  In reality, there are few Downtowns that stay lively after the offices let out.  Ohio's cities are far from the worst.  Heck, I was in Tampa and found that Downtown was deserted mid-weekday afternoon.  I think alot of sunbelt cities are in the same boat.

^Not just Sunbelt but a lot of Midwest and Northeast cities (screw it, all of them except for Chicago, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Boston, and New York; even DC somewhat closes after 5pm and Baltimore's only activity is the Harbor).

^yeah the CBD in DC does shut down quite a bit at night with a few exceptions (Penn Quarter, Chinatown, Conneticut and 17th area), but the rest of the downtown is surprisingly quiet at night.  Though DC is much improving in this regard; I heard that since 1997, downtown DC has added as much office space to their downtown than all of present day downtown St. Louis.

Dallas is ok ... CDM's photos make it look better than it actually is at street level. One thing I like about Dallas was it's incorporation with art and it's DT. Dallas has a healthy electronica scene, with some great clubs -near the CBD.

I have to agree. 

I have a hard time thinking of anything other than the Dallas Cowboys and Chuck Norris when I think of Dallas.

Nah, this is the spot where CIA-hired hitmen from the Mafia killed Kennedy....

 

 

Dallas has a better rail system than any Ohio city -- light rail, subway, streetcars and regional commuter rail. It's still new, and the urbanism is still trying to catch up.

Nice, but you could have gotten a shot of the best and in my opinion, the only reason to go to visit Dallas - Neiman Marcus!
