The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is a bunch of cities that are right next to each other, but hold your horses they're not that next to each other. Like you might want to go to a museum in Fort Worth although you're staying in Dallas, but it takes like an hour to get there with practically no traffic so surprise surprise. Anyway, I like the way these places look. Fort Worth is especially pretty, although there are a lot of rolling grassy hills, knolls even, throughout all of DFW. They are weird though. Like they call Randall's Tom Thumb, and Hardee's Carl's Jr., and there's this weird flashing yellow arrow for yielding left turns that doesn't exist anywhere else. In Conclusion, from my day and a half in the DFW Metroplex I can safely claim that it's a pretty good city/cities, even though the drivers there are the biggest assholes of any city's drivers. That's never been said before, I know.RATING: 71%

While you were here I forgot to check if you had elbows or not.
As for the drivers, I've never been to Dallas, but you, friend, have never been to Massachusetts.
I second that. Drive 5 minutes in Boston... it will make you cry.
I've driven in Boston and NYC before, and I was pretty terrified. I think if I had to drive there everyday I'd rather just not have a car.
But I've been more terrified in Dallas because it was all happening at 80 MPH.
Only 80mph?
Typo.
I don't understand why Dallas drivers get so angry about someone legitimately pulling into their lane several car lengths ahead of them using a blinker and giving them plenty of time to react. It's like they think it's a race or something. Maybe they should watch less NASCAR. I was driving with a Texan yesterday who would curse and swear every time another driver changed lanes at all. I was like, "Why do you think those lanes are there?"
As Seinfeld said a few months ago: "They'll let you merge in Dallas, but they want to see you earn it. They won't hurt you, but they won't help you, either."
Before I moved to Houston, a prof told me I'd be a "road hazard" on the highways there, and I thought he meant everybody in Houston drove incredibly fast (this, for some reason, is the stereotype of Houston drivers IN Dallas...if you can imagine). When I got down to H, I realized he meant the opposite...I'd be the crazy-ass.
Fort Worth is under-rated. They quit slaughtering horses for French cuisine a loooonng time ago (like, two years!). Why did it take you an hour to get there?!
We missed the exit and got stuck in traffic both ways. Either that or the distance between Richardson and Fort Worth can only be reckoned in cubits, and Glenn's rubbery forearms are twice as long as a normal human's.
I think Garland is underrated.
The only words in this post and comments that I understood were "New York" and "Boston." The rest was written in some strange Texas language that I didn't understand.
I went to a place in Garland called Nickelrama and played a bunch of old arcade games like House of the Dead and Tekken Tag for a nickel a game. There's a decent italian restaurant right next door, with real live italians in it.
