Dallas
is the most mythical city in Texas, with a past and present
rich in all the stuff American legends are made of. The 'Big
D' is famous for its contributions to popular culture - from
the Dallas Cowboys football team and its cheerleaders to the
long-running Dallas television series. Dallas is endlessly occupied
with growth and status; it's a city known for its business acumen
(especially in banking), its restaurants and its shopping. In
the materially minded USA, Dallas stands tall as a paragon of
conspicuous consumption.
But the
city has its surprises, and they're not hard to find: a tiny
sliver of downtown set aside to promote the ideal of gratitude,
not greed; a stirring museum devoted to one of the greatest
tragedies in US history, JFK's assassination; and acres of parks
providing oases of relaxation and recreation.
