The Metroplex has become one of the biggest and best cities in the country and it's easy to see why.
Once a small frontier town, Dallas has grown into one of America's premier cities. It's a major business center, hosting everything from oil companies to internet gurus and airlines. It's home to the largest state fair in the nation and was the site of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. It was also the home base for the television shows Dallas and Walker, Texas Ranger.
Once it was deep in the shadow of New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. But now Dallas is on that same elite level with America's other supercities and once you experience Big D, you'll understand why it's one of the fastest-growing regions in the country.
When traveling to Dallas it's a good idea to rent a car. It's hard to travel around the metroplex by way of public transportation. However, the TRE (Texas Rail Express) goes as far as Ft. Worth. If you are staying in a hotel downtown it's hard to find public transportation to and from the Dallas-Ft. Worth airport. This airport is American Airlines' largest hub.
It hasn't been since the 1980's that Dallas appreciated being called The Big D, or in a cheesy country song. Dallas has expanded its horizons in the entertainment, event and culture in the past 10 years. Now a hotspot for events such as Cavallia, dance troops, and plays, loaded with upscale shopping and hot night life greenville being only a portion of it.

My friend, my brother and I decided to spend a Saturday afternoon at the Dallas World Aquarium. I don't really know why it's called an aquarium when there's a jaguar and lots of birds as part of the exhibit, but I'm not the one who named the place. There was a 3-toed sloth just hanging out in a tree, which was neat to see. I believe we were told that it's the only one "on display" in the US, but I'm not so sure now. Whatever your fancy, you can probably find something …

I keep saying my trip begins in June, when in reality it began the day I packed my car and left home sweet home Seattle. I was amazingly still sane after 3 days and 2,000 miles alone in the car. I'm not saying I didn't talk to myself every once in awhile. That's a given. But I actually enjoyed my solo trek through Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota. I ventured off the path to see the Badlands, Wall Drug (a small town drug store with more highway signs than products on the sh…
