What are things that every person in Dallas should experience?

Fun-Ganache-9312@reddit

Moved to the west coast about 5 yrs ago. Dallas native but you can't go wrong with most any Tex mex, & Braums for sure.. hahaha. Nothing else really but the TX State Fair and football at least once. There are some great scenic areas in the hill country -- However, I'm an ex Dallas native and biased now due to politics. Can't beat the West Coast though and we travel from the SF Bay Area all the way up to Washington often.

yolatrendoid@reddit

I don't remember it since I was 3 at the time, but my childhood home in North Dallas – near Midway & Royal – got hit by the May 1976 tornado that was the strongest known to have hit the city at the time, and tore off part of our roof.

While we moved away not longer after, the same area also hit by the October 2019 twister, an EF-3. Multiple houses less than two blocks from ours were destroyed.

I know the old saying about lightning not striking in the same place twice, but I guess it doesn't apply to tornadoes.

The realization that most of the people around here rolling Escalades and G-Wagons aren't really doing any better than you. They are leveraged to their eyeballs and one financial mishap away from ruin.

You are top 10% (minimum) for your age group in net worth. Closer to top 1%, for your age group, but I cant' say for sure. For the entire US population (all age groups), you are in the top half in net worth and top 20% for individual income, top \~50% or so for family income.

La Madaleine did start in Dallas but with all due respect it is a shadow of it's former self. In the 80s and early 90s, it's breakfast was unrivaled.

I have purposely not eaten there since ~2011. Former coworker worked at Aetna full-time setting up corporate insurance policies. Told us how the Yum!

A friend of mine... a somewhat uptight, dudley-do-right friend of mine... got arrested for check-kiting which absolutely she did not do; her identity was stolen... and she spent the whole weekend in the pokey. This was totally the kind of person who did not even go to bars or get in any kind of trouble whatsoever. The funny thing is that she was actually pretty chill about it all. She said it was "quite educational" lol.

White Rock Lake, Flagpole Hill, Bishop Arts, eat real tacos from a taqueria in a gas station, museums, arts district, etc.

I guess maybe the 6th Floor Museum?

The Great Trinity Forest in Southeast Dallas. It has miles of trails, horse park, an adventure park with aerial rope courses/ziplines, a golf course, and just many things to explore. I think it’s the second largest urban forest in America.

Yes they did miss it, but one of the strip clubs for decades advertised their free legs and eggs breakfast on the radio.

Solid list. Prob Greenville for me. That area is pretty near with a solid food scene and hangout spot.

True that. Forgot lower Greenville. Great spot!

The Dallas world aquarium is gorgeous and a beautiful sight for plant lovers too. Meow wolf in grapevine is a cool art installation and there’s a storyline to it too! Frozen alcoholic yoohoo as double wide. I’d also recommend KBBQ too, Korea town has a ton of authentic spots.

As someone who moved away. All the pro sporting events, arboretum/white rock lake, state fair, reunion tower, a night out in deep ellum, a night out bar hopping in Oak Lawn, Cowboys Red River on a Thursday night, wandering through Central Market, driving way over the speed limit on DNT with a great playlist, driving on 635 late at night, a good patio brunch, Campisi’s, Pappas steakhouse, Dallas Tex Mex restaurant of choice, 6th Floor museum, and the Perot museum, Honorable mention to the Ft Worth water gardens.

The simple joy of using turn signals

Sleeping in and waiting until 9am on the weekends to start the lawnmower

Th feeling of excitement when you turn down the volume knob that controls the music at a sit-in restaurant

The Chapel of Thanks-Giving Square. I'm not religious but it is truly a beautiful monument with an inspirational stained glass ceiling that almost no local even knows about. That square itself is already well maintained, but it could be much more of a gathering place if people went more.

Road rage for no apparent reason. Unsolicited and unwarranted honks from impatient drivers. A big jacked up truck literally riding in your backseat down the highway (because 100 MPH isn't fast enough...). I love home!

I’d miss the state fair. As expensive as the food and rides have gotten, the shows are still great and entry is affordable on weekdays with all the promotions. I grew up on the east coast with only rinky dink county fairs with fried Oreos as the most exotic thing to eat. The Texas state fair blew my mind the first time I went.

I also associate the state fair to the end of our long and miserable summer since most years I’m in a hoodie by the time the fair comes around.
