So I flew to DFW to see my mom for Thanksgiving and BOY ARE MY ARMS TIRED!

 

*yuck yuck that sucks*

 

Te gusta Fort Worth

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My mom's home...Grand Prairie.  Oy vey.

 

 

 

"But they got good houses here!  Black folks here ain't mad!"

 

 

SHEEEIIIIIT! Right, mom.

 

And literally, up the highway...Dallas

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Driving back "home..."

 

 

 

 

And on the way back home...with a three hour layover in St. Louis (thanks STLGasm for taking me out of that airport for an hour or two!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And (crack)home sweet (crack)home...goodnight, from Dayton

 

Enjoyable...except our crack home has an updated skyline.

You're mom built a new house? 

 

So what did you think of the Victory Park area of Dallas?  Overrated?

I guess I could've gotten you out of the STL airport for an hour or two as well since I was at the parental units' home.....  But alas, now I'm back in C-Town.  Nice pics :).

Very Nice!

Cool

Fort Worth looks much more promising than Dallas. And where were those homes and coffeeshop in St. Louis? Downtown? The less said about Dallas the better, although it was where R.O.T.O.R. was filmed, so I'll give them that.

Yeah, she built a new home.  Oy.

 

And yeah, Victory Park wasn't even rated for me as I didn't care about it in the first place.

 

And where were those homes and coffeeshop in St. Louis? Downtown?

 

The Central West End.

It's a new tacky cheap watered down payless shoe store version of University Circle.

Hahaha.  It's like Coventry more than University Circle itself.  Oh, and Coffee Cartel is a gay coffee shop (or at least it was when I was in high school).

whip me harder....I like it like that!  grrrrr  lol

Outstanding photo tour, as usual! I've only seen those three cities from train windows, and even on Amtrak that doesn't allow a lot of time for sightseeing and photo-taking. Looks like I oughta' go back and walk around!

Fort Worth looks a lot more interesting than Dallas. I like the shots of the black cowboys -- who were a big part of the American West in the "cowboy days," despite what Hollywood made us believe.

You are an idiot.  First of all, nothing about the Central West End is "new"... Secondly, there is nothing cheap or watered down about it.  The vast majority of businesses are independently or locally-owned.  The Central West End was a mature urban neighborhood when University Circle was a pasture.

 

I advise you to visit before claiming to know what you're talking about.

I love when lurkers come out of the woodwork lol!

The next time you decide to call someone and idiot, make sure you know how you're talking to.

 

As CLEARLY explained in a previous post, my comments are about DALLAS. 

 

Where in St. Louis is "victory park" or a "W hotel".  Those should have been HUGE clues that I was not speaking about St. Louis.

 

Reading is fundamental.

 

 

Yeah, Gasm - welcome to UrbanOhio my hell. And try to read better next time ;-)

Well, with all the quotes, it was a very hard exchange to follow.

Now that's just disturbing...

I agree, Dallas is disturbing, with the exception of the Original Neiman Marcus!  ;)

ha! weak. don't they have their own history to mural about? steers and oil rigs or something?
