DFW Thread • Page 50

There are tons of cool spots. What kind of places are you looking for specifically?

 

I'm not picky, so i'm down for anything. So like, any cool museums or especially good food places or cool arcades or really anything at all that you would consider interesting

 

I loved the Fort Worth Museum of Natural Science growing up but it's kinda more kid oriented

 

Or if you're going next year, come during baseball season and watch the best team in baseball play a game in a brand new stadium

 

The Dallas Museum of Art is pretty cool, and free at times (look online) - I haven't been yet, but the Perot Museum is supposed to be good.

Cidercade is a cool arcade. They brew and sell their own cider on site. It's like $10 to get in and you can play all the games you want. Probably the biggest "retro" arcade around. They have like 50 pinball machines alone.

 

We went to Perot museum in May it was definitely pretty cool. My kids enjoyed it for sure

 

What if I said best DFW team in baseball?

 

New stadium looks like it's gonna be gorgeous tho for sure

 

I'll keep all of these places in mind, thanks for the suggestions everyone

 

I highly suggest Gas Monkey Bar N Grill as a music venue if there happens to be a band playing that you like while you're in town. It's outdoors though so check the weather, but they do a pretty good job of keeping thing comfortable (giant fans when it's hot, covering if it's raining, etc...)

 

I think my ideal ‘visit Dallas’ day would be klyde warren park, walk downtown, eat a steak dinner, then go for cocktails in lower greenville

 

Sorry to bump this thread after 4 years lmao but does anyone want tickets to see Jodeci on 8/27?

Laura has COVID and can't go so it'd be a free transfer or whatever, we have 4 tickets due to the 4 for $20 deal or whatever it was

 

Oh I was trying to find a Dallas thread the other day, didn't think of the abbreviation, whoops

 

Anyone else finding it hard to love Dallas / Texas these days

 

No, i love Texas.

 

Grew up in DFW, hated it until I moved elsewhere. I took many things for granted. Childhood education in the DFW suburbs is about the best you can get, especially Plano/Frisco/McKinney. You can't find food options like that just anywhere, or the parks/trails. I don't miss the rent, the rat race, or the cops, though.

 

Yeah living away from DFW for a bit really made me realize how great it CAN be

It has a ton of shit going on that can understandably be dealbreakers for a lot of people. But I do like it here

 

I've never lived elsewhere but there is a lot about DFW that I dislike. I do love the access to live music and restaurants and stuff though.

 

I don't really have a problem with DFW. There's a lot I really like about it here. The food and music scenes, the mix of cultures, the parks and lakes.

I guess I really just mean Texas politics. The education stuff has been really bothering me, partly because we want to have another kid and we don't want them to grow up with underfunded public schools or a curriculum imposed by the Texas GOP.

That and the heat is just oppressive. I want to live somewhere I can walk or bike places.

 

Yeah all that stuff definitely sucks

 

We are likely moving to Minneapolis once the kids are adults

 

I have floated that one to Ofelia but she's put off by the idea of living with that much snow. I do want to visit though

We just got back from Seattle and loved it. That's looking like a strong possibility once Aeryn graduates

 

If we could afford to live in Seattle in the comfortability I'd want we'd do that for SURE, I love the pacific northwest. I just know I couldn't afford to reasonably vs Minny where I can get like double my current square footage for less than my house

 

Yeah I think I'm just sick of constantly being reminded that EVERYONE around me is Republican.
