List 3 things that make Dallas

The people

I kind of agree with TinMan here... Ft Worth.

Mostly because the character of the city is obvious by the attractions available. Stockyards etc. You can see that it used to be a country cowboy historic type of place.

Dallas however is more subtle. The character really tends to be in the people and places you frequent. As a visitor you don't really get that vibe other than the drinking and socializing bits.

I guess it also greatly depends on when someone is visiting... Cold and cruddy means more indoor ideas vs the summer when I highly suggest an afternoon on Katy Trail and the beerhouse etc

Drag your people to your favorite places. Always a win.

I almost recommended the Katy Trail. That is something the City has really done right.

Klyde Warren Park is another gem. I’m not sure how well it translates to visitors, but longtime residents can really appreciate how it has changed the character of that part of town.

Lots of great suggestions here, and as someone said early- yeah, kinda depends on who you are and what sort of stuff you're into.


Though I live not far off the tollway well to the north of the Galleria, I love so much about the charm and character of Fort Worth. If it weren't so far from my office, I might live there as I grew to like it more and more over the years after visiting relatives and other folks there a number of times.

The Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens. The Rose Garden when in bloom, and more specifically, the Japanese Garden.
Many don't know this, but Ft. Worth's sister city is Nagaoka Japan, and a huge portion of the plants, materials, and buildings were donated by that city.
It's known as one of, if not the best Japanese Gardens in the US.
