Saying Dallas is #22 in shopping is as silly as saying New York is #22 in urban density.

In another 10 years, I hope to discover why city leaders are determined to reverse that trend by building more toll roads and a convention center hotel.

It's hyper-heterogeneous at my high school football games. Maybe these folks missed East Dallas. Hola, Hispanics can be a diverse lot among themselves.

We have the exact same stores they have in every other major market, but less of them. We don't even compare to shopping in Vegas, much less Chicago, LA, or New York.

We have a huge restaurant and bar scene, and Dallas has the most shopping centers per capita in the entire US. AND we love football.
