Yes, cost of living in general is rather low. I moved here from New England not intending to stay. That was 24 years ago.

If your in the mood for Prime Rib, I would suggest Lawry's in North Dallas.

yea for like 300k can get a realllllllly nice place down in Dallas suburbs.. in NJ i'm lucky to get a 900 sq foot single family home for the same amount

I'm from the Boston originally which is really expensive in just about every way...

I have a nice home in a NW suburb, 3/4 of an acre on a heavily treed lot , with a creek in my backyard. About 30 miles from downtown Dallas.

Besides, I have no regrets about leaving behind the likes of politicians like Ted Kennedy and John kerry in good ol' Taxachusetts.....

Well, it is a little bit of a culture shock.... Dallas is pretty cosmopolitan though and there are lots of "yankees" here. Some people adapt pretty well, others hate it.

Austin has a somewhat younger, liberal flavor. It is more expensive than Dallas. Both cities would be fun if you're single....

Think we are gonna hit up the Bob's chop house near downtown. Don't wanna be driving around everywhere.

adultchica · 12-09-2005, 09:23 PM

Well I'm in my 20's and I can tell you that Dallas has plenty of fun shit to do. Lots of clubs, college crowd, trendy places to hang out, and a huge mix of people from different areas.

Although I'm in Houston area now, I am originally from Austin and we used to party in both Austin and Dallas. I can tell you that Dallas is fun and Austin is great too.

Plus if you move to Dallas you are only a couple of hours from 6th street in Austin and a few hours from Houston .

Martin3 · 12-09-2005, 10:03 PM

A crackhead actually jumped onto the hood of my truck while I was driving the last time I was in Dallas.

Everytime I go up to Dallas there's fucking crackheads everywhere. We probably have just as many here in Houston, but they're mostly on the east side. In Dallas they seem spread out everwhere

I'd stick to the suburbs.

Sosa · 12-09-2005, 10:11 PM

I'm reading and talking to a few people from the area. Sounds downtown dallas sucks, lots of homeless people and nothing to do. Gotta find something to do tomorrow afternoon and then hanging out at Deep Ellum for the night I think.

Might do that on Sunday depending on how warm it is. Friend lives 5-10 min from Six Flags. Was just down in that area yesterday and hitting up a sports bar to watch a game in a few hours down there.
