I will be in Dallas from 4/9 in the afternoon through Wednesday the 12th. I'll be busy during the day. I'll be near the airport the whole trip. Any one single thing to do one evening, or something to see? I will have a rental car, but I'll be busy 8-10hrs/day. TIA
It's about like this:
"Do you puff peters?"
"Hell no!"
"NAZI!!!"

I would go to Dealy Plaza and line up the real shots. South end of the overpass and a couple places along the grassy knoll fence. And skip the 6th floor bullshit.

Leave as soon as you can. Worked in that area for nearly 5 years, Dallas sucks.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!

I avoid Dallas whenever possible. Be careful, traffic is even worse than Houston.

Downtown Grapevine is pretty neat. Mom and pop specialty shops, restaurants, etc.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

If at all possible I'd hit Pecan Lodge BBQ. I'm not a Texan but when in Dallas...... I went to Pecan LODGE! about a month ago and it wasn't nearly as good as it has been in the past. I'd recommend Terry Black's, down the street, over Pecan Lodge any day. It's in Deep Ellum, which is a fair piece from DFW airport. Terry Black's BBQ

It's in Deep Ellum, which is a fair piece from DFW airport. Careful now, one might contract the Deep Ellum blues going there . . . If you go down to deep elm put your money in your shoes The women in deep elem, they give you the deep elem blues Oh, sweet mama, your daddy's got them deep elem blues Once I had a girlfriend, she meant the world to me She went down to deep elem, now, she ain't what she used to be Oh, sweet mama, your daddy's got them deep elem blues Once I knew a preacher, preached the bible through and through He went sown to deep elem, now, his preaching days are through Oh, sweet mama, your daddy's got them deep elem blues When you go down to deep elem to have a little fun Have your ten dollars ready when the police man comes Oh, sweet mama, your daddy's got them deep elem blues When yo go down to deep elem put your money in your pants 'Cause the women in deep elem, they don't give a man a chance Oh, sweet mama, your daddy's got them deep elem blues
