Idk I’m not the biggest fan of Atlanta but it doesn’t feel nearly as bland and boring as Dallas.


The suburbs are bland and boring. That’s their nature.

Dallas is anything but bland/boring, especially close to downtown. Downtown, the Arts District, Hardwood/Klyde Warren, Deep Ellum, Lower Greenville, Knox-Henderson, Uptown/Turtle Creek, Park Cities/SMU, Trinity Groves, Lakewood/White Rock … all have immense and distinct character.

On the Fort Worth side, I’ll challenge you to find a more kickass area in another city than Clearfork Main. Neiman’s, Louis Vitton, etc. with pastures of longhorn cattle next door.

You’ve also got the Stockyards/Northside area, full of incredible history and modern/$$$ cool shite.

DFW is the 4th largest metro in the nation. It’s f’n massive. Yeah, the bedroom communities are all function over form, but that’s the nature of them anywhere. What Long Island is to NYC.

Unless things have drastically changed in the past few years I’m gonna have to disagree with this.

I’ve been to downtown Dallas many times for work and it’s always struck me as a desolate place with little appeal. This seems to be a common trend of big metro Downtown areas lately from my travels.

I see nothing special with the other areas mentioned either.
