I lived in Dallas for a decade and loved it.
I do like it there. Its a large city too, its ninth in the us.
Dallas always has a lot of interesting events going on but traffic is definitely an issue.
With a population of 1,197,816, I can imagine
Dallas has that Texas Cowboy culture while also being an affluent area different from anywhere else.
It is also known for its oil and cotton industries.
Dallas is the most sophisticated big city in Texas and has a huge number of oil related businesses.
Dallas is in a metroplex with Fort Worth.
Dallas and Ft. Worth used to be different cities but they actually run together now, the whole area is huge.
Its simply known as DFW or the metroplex.
During rush hour traffic is slowed all the way from Dallas to Ft. Worth, it is something to see.
