keep dallas not weird.

I just spent an amazing four years bleeding burnt orange in Austin, Texas. After graduation, I was more than ready to make the three hour drive back to Dallas-so ready that I made the drive in two and a half.

My college experience was filled with fun activities (do frat parties count?) and interesting encounters. I once had a young homeless guy lecture to me about how I was obviously not a native Austinite and rambled on about how he could easily be accepted to the public Ivy League of the South that I was so proudly a part of. By the end of my four years, I realized that Austin definitely holds up its standard of 'keeping Austin weird'. I was ready to get back to Dallas...keep Dallas not weird.

I decided that I want to venture out on a journey through Dallas to figure out exactly what keeps pulling me back to this city. As a native Dallasite, I have fallen into a routine of a few places I love (all of them within the walls of Northpark Center). Now that I am fresh to the city again, I am going to explore all of the 'Dallasights' and keep you in the loop. What is hot? What is new? What is old but new to me?

This is Dallasights for Dallasites.
