Default I'm going to Dallas

...for few days. probably have an afternoon or two free while I'm there. is there anything worth doing downtown?

I've only ever driven through... never spent anytime.

Downtown is a wasteland, save for DeLaney Plaza/6th Floor Museum and West End (lol). Get a car and drive out to another area, or take DART or the train to Ft Worth.

Stars vs Ducks is always entertaining, even if they lose. I would highly recommend it, especially with how cheap tickets are these days.

Also, you can hit up the bars in Deep Ellum afterward, if that's your thing.

I went to Houston once in the summertime

several people I'm traveling with are on their way right now to see the site of the JKF assasination.

wtf?


So far, I'm not liking Dallas. I'm stuck at the Hotel. Can't walk anywhere. You can get a cab at the hotel, but it's almost impossible to hail one anywhere else. no public transportation. I'm a mile and a half away from the hockey arena and can't figure out how to walk there.

horrible, horrible city

what? there is public transportation.. there is a train station less than a three minute walk from where jfk was shot. but you're right about the cab thing; they aren't very popular in dallas unless you're hanging around the uptown area with the yuppies.

where are you staying?

hockey arena? you mean American Airlines Center? that's at the victory station. it would take you like 15 minutes.

I've been told that it shouldn't be that hard to get a cab back from the Stadium. it's only 1.3 miles from the hotel.

the walking directions on my iPhone tell me to walk down the highway! Ha.

2 different DART train stations are easily within a 20 minute walk from you.

You're also close to Bob's Steak and Chophouse on Lemmon, it's pretty awesome.

Also Nana in the Anatole's great.
