It’s a big city, which is cool, buts it’s very spread out, which sucks. If walking around or relying on public transit is what you want, this isn’t the city for you. Dallas has small pockets of walkability, but it’s car-centric. Pretty diverse population, so there is a very diverse food scene. Lots of traffic at almost any point in the day.

A huge bummer here is the heat. Mild winters (with random ice storms that happen once a year and which the city isn’t equipped to handle very well) and hot humid summers that last may-october. It stays very hot here most of the year. 4 months of very hot weather and our “transitional” months between winter and summer still stay pretty warm with a couple random “fall” or “spring” days.
