It sucks.

A great aquarium, Threadcula , a fair zoo (though Fort Worth's blows it away), the grassy knoll, a few tall buildings, but where is everyone? At a honky tonk?

If this is the best of Texas, we should try to trade it for Cuba, y'all.

Why didnt u swing by and visit me?

ThreadCula said:

You're in Dallas, dud?!?! I didn't know that. Where!?

...And sorry to diss your city. I'll add you to the "pros" list.

Lammastide said:

It's cool...I didnt build it

Did u visit the Art Museum?

ThreadCula said:

I opted to pass up the art museum, but I did want to see the new sculpture museum. I hear's it's really very good. I didn't think my 4-year-old would tolerate daddy in a trance over sculpure for a couple hours, though.

havent spent much time IN dallas ... was thinking about it ... maybe, but now maybe not

just another overrated city huh ?



hmm

Lammastide said:

Oh gosh! Yes. I love it!!

Mach said:

Just my opinion, mind you.

Dallas by all means is big, VERY clean, nice roads, great weather. But it's a ghost town. I was just telling ThreadCula in an ornote that I looked out of my seventh-floor hotel window in the heart of downtown on Saturday night, and I LITERALLY saw 3 people in my scope of vision.

That's NUTS for one of the largest metropolitan centers in the U.S. For goodness sake, their airport is actaully bigger that the entire island of Manhattan!!!

I prefer San Antonio, but then I don't know much about dallas anyway, just went up there for the concerts.

Hmmm...and I'm from San Antonio, and I prefer Dallas.

Hey, Lamm, hit me up. We could hit quite a few places. I don't do honky tonks though, so I can't help you there.

austin is the place to visit... NOT DALLAS/FORTH WORTH!

and if you wanna keep it real... Houston.

damn where all these texas orgers come from???



we ALL need to hook up.

At least it's not Atlanta. Now there's a boring city for you.

retina said:

Damn you're so right! And it used to NOT be that way. No more 24 hour discos and many of the great gay superclubs are closed never to reopen- Backstreet open since the 1970s GONE!!! Fuckin straights! Why is it that straight people don't want to move into gay areas until that area is restored? Then they want to move their fuckin families in and close everything down! It's a good thing (for us) that we don't go to clubs anymore, because Atlanta isn't what it used to be by a long shot.


But Atlanta has some good ass shopping... because of gay people!

Oh and Atlanta's aquarium is the BEST in the world!

Lammastide said:

My gf took me to a cool restaurant there. Indian food was really cool. Beautiful decor. I'll get the name tomorrow.

I hear you on Dallas. I long to check out Austin.

let me know when and if you do...

DarthTater said:

I didn't shop for asses when I was there, but I did notice a huge underground mall so that must have been the place to get them.

xpsiter said:

Next time I'm down there, It's a date! And I'll make it a POINT to drag you to a honky tonk!

...I ain't scurred to rock the cowbow boots!

DarthTater said:

Yeah, what's up with Hotlanta!?!?

I always go hoping to finally encounter this amazing place that upper-class black folk keep raving about. But, again, it's big, clean, and the people are amazingly friendly, but it just ain't...well... hopping!!

I've given up on the city proper. When I'm there, I've had more fun roving around the rural outskirts.

...And, though I'm light in the loafers, I don't like the shopping there either. It's perfect if you wanna look like Andre3000 or Reverend Bling Bling, but I'm a bit more... uh... "Boston bookish nerd-type," I guess.

Lammastide said:

That's a bet! Holla at me when you come back this way. There's loads more to do.

Austin does have a more active nightlife (6th street), but Dallas isn't necessarily a slouch either.

retina said:

You don't want any underground ass! Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square is where it's at!

Lammastide said:

It's still

to me!

Lammastide said:

cause depending on where you were downtown, you may have been smack in the middle of a business district....we dont work on saturday nights 'round here ....plenty of nightlife in dallas....you just gotta be in the right area....like the airport, we like to spread things out a bit
