How about the other percentage (in Dallas) that get right up to the stop light and decide that they don't want to turn left. They want to turn right and expect 4 or 5 lanes of traffic to come to a complete stop because they're too self-absorbed to plan ahead. Instead of completing their turn and finding a place to turn around, they somehow feel that everyone is supposed to just stop and "take care of them"? I see this irritating behavior way too often. I used to install satellite TV, and would often have to work downtown. I hated this because the closer you got to downtown Dallas, the more aggressively people drove.

[@eventhisidistaken]

I think the rise in crime recently, is due to kids being out of school from the pandemic. It's not just a Dallas thing or a Texas thing. The same thing has happened all over the US. As far as homelessness, there are limits to what can realistically be done about that. Most of the homeless have serious alcohol/drug and psychological problems, and we long ago got rid of the infrastructure to compel treatment.

I live in Arlington and have for decades by choice. Ft Worth is a much superior city to Dallas. The Dallas downtown is filled with commuters from 80 miles out and then empty at night. Ft Worth's downtown has plenty to do and is safe to walk wherever. Dallas reminds me of Atlanta and Ft Worth of the true west. By the way on the Cowboys, they are and have been THE most valuable sports franchise in the world in all sports according to Forbes. They are also located in Arlington next door to the Rangers and Six Flags. Overall, your video of Dallas proper is pretty accurate.

I've been thinking of moving to Texas and Ft. Worth has seemed a better fit than Dallas.

[@jaylucien669]

I'll give you that Ft. Worth has the better downtown and that it is the true gateway to the west. But overall metropolitan area goes to Dallas. Many Ft.Worth suburbs are still back water hick towns. Plus Ft. Worth seems to lack overall ambition in certain areas like landing a pro sports franchise. Ya'll could've gone after the Rangers a few ago by helping them build an awesome downtown ballpark. But I doubt that option even crossed any Ft. Worthians minds. Also the new Cowtown Arena is 2nd rate. That place could possibly draw an NCAA Tourney first round. But thats about it.

Bob, I lived in Arlington for almost 70 years before moving to another Metroplex city. Nice place, but not what it used to be.

As a resident of San Antonio, saying that San Antonio is more populated than Dallas is amusing. The only reason that statistic appears as such is because San Antonio has drawn an outrageously large city limit. Dallas has a more moderately sized city limit. Same thing occurs in Florida with Jacksonville. They appear to have a large population because of their enormous city limit. No, it’s not actually more populated than Miami.

Hey Briggs Great to see You!!!

[@0HARE]

It’s interesting seeing my city through your eyes. My family moved here from N.C. in 1964, when I was ten years old. Dallas is an exceptionally dynamic city, offering lots of opportunity for advancement. I live in the Junius Heights Historic District, in Old East Dallas. This is a wonderful place to live.

[@nighthawkjs1969]

Good video, however, the Dallas Cowboys are not in Dallas Texas. Their stadium is in Arlington Texas around the corner from the Rangers!

[@SeanCarterCFH]

Fyi, Arlington is the SECOND home to the Cowboys. The first was in Irving, still nobody but you is making a correction on semantics. Guess who else doesn't play in their named city? Half of sports, go tell em'! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤗

There's also a trolley tour you can take showing the Depository, Oswald's house, and the Texas Theater. I went on it shortly after the 50th anniversary of the assassination; would highly recommend the Sixth Floor Museum in the Depository.

My main outings were at the Reunion Tower observation deck and the Dallas World Aquarium. I would've loved to visit their Zero Gravity theme park too if I had extra money and company with me. I went alone. Also Dallas' skyline at night looks awesome.

One interesting statistic.... Dallas is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth television market, and it's currently the number FIVE television market behind New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia. However, the difference in television households between number 4 Philadelphia and number 5 DFW is so small that I expect next year's rankings to place DFW as number 4.

[@thullraven1]

Everything Briggs said is spot on! However, one thing that sometimes gets overlooked is DFW Airport. Briggs touched on it, but there's more to it. DFW Airport is the home base of American Airlines. American states that they can fly you almost anywhere in the world on one connection or less, and they're right. Plus, because DFW is their home airport, they have a lot of Non-stop flights leaving from there. If you ever get the urge to travel, it's easy to do so from here. DFW Airport is halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth, and is easy to get to from anywhere in the DFW Metro area.

You missed one fascinating place to see in Dallas. The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza is a museum located on the sixth floor of the old Schoolbook Depository overlooking Dealey Plaza at the intersection of Elm and Houston Streets. The museum examines the life, times, death, and legacy of United States President John F. Kennedy and is located in the very room from which Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed President Kennedy. Plan on staying a few hours.

[@JRobbySh]

The Museum that Ross Perot built is worth a stop. Ole Ross left his mark. There is a huge commercial airport along I-35W. And how could you ignore “CowTown”? Fort Worth may outgrow Dallas by the time all is said and done.
