So, let me preface, I don't like most things...I'm really just apathetic and sarcastic, so I look for faults in things for comedic value...
That said, this is my first real visit to Dallas...been here since Thursday afternoon and I have really enjoyed my time here. I am least impressed with the fact that it doesn't cool off. I left the AAC Friday night at like 11 pm and just about passed away. It doesn't cool off when the sun goes away here? In Philadelphia, it gets hot, but when the sun goes to sleep, you get some reprieve. It felt like it was 90 still at 1 am. How everyone is not dead is a testament to your strength or evolution.
I am super impressed with how accessible and navigable the city is. I was a little concerned that it was one of these Western cities with no sidewalks, no public transit, no walk-ability, and lots of eight lane highways with clover leaves...but I haven't even considered using uber/taxi once here. Even from the airport. I live in Center City Philadelphia and used to live in N.Y. metro, I walk or take public transportation to most things because it's faster and easier than alternatives...so I am very impressed with the ease of use and navigable quality of the city.
Been wandering through the West End today as it's a day off to wind down after the draft...just enjoying my time, the food is terrific and the people are less annoying by a whole tier compared to Philadelphia (though your homeless are more aggressive than back east)...
Glad I came and explored the area a bit...
