i assume that was to me. i wasnt trying to imply Dallas is boring. just that there are less amenities in Dallas than Houston.

As a devoted shopper, I must respectfully disagree with the thread on Houston vs. Dallas high end stores (it is severely lacking in Highland Village [only Cole Haan? really?], River Oaks, Downtown, and Rice Village). I do observe that Dallas residents are more brand conscious $30K millionaires. (for example, graying bald headed men driving mustang convertibles, badly done plastic surgery face injections on women, etc.) whereas in Houston you see a whole lot fewer beemers on the road.

I think traffic in Houston is worse than Dallas due to it being a larger city, I will give it that. But at least lanes are expanding, unlike the drudgery of the only north/south options in Dallas (DNT and 75), which will never be wider than 3 or 4 lanes. At least in Houston they try to do something about traffic (instead of giving into the NIMBYs of Dallas) and also set a world record with the widest highway in the world: Interstate 10 in Texas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Are You sure???..

No no, it was in response to the post I quoted. I don't think Dallas is boring either. I was just asking that particular gentleman what it is he likes to do in Dallas that he can't do in Houston.

Relax. He's talking about Highland Village, not Highland Park Village. He's essentially agreeing with those that say that Dallas has more high-end shopping.

Developer to start hotel revamp of One Main Place in downtown Dallas - Dallas Business Journal
Quote:
And Downtown Dallas Inc. President and CEO John Crawford told audience-goers at the Dallas Business Journal Corridors of Opportunities: Downtown Dallas edition that the city center could see eight to 10 new hotels within the urban core.
Quote:
"Prior to this was the big box hotels, such as the Marriott or the Omni. Now, developers are scouring every adaptive reuse scenario for a boutique hotel or mixed-use building."
