BG45 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 You all have amazing suggestions! I was worried I'd not have anything to do on the days I wasn't presenting and there looks to be a ton to do in that time! Of everything, I'll definitely hit the Sixth Floor Museum, it's right near the hotel I think, so a quick cab over shouldn't be too bad, and I do love history! Seriously though, thanks for all the links and suggestions (and humor) so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franciscanheart Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 There's also a Six Flags in Dallas. I've been there. :blink: You must have been dreaming. I live here: I think I'd know if there were a Six Flags in my city. :huh: It's in Arlington. I promise. Look it up.Re: the other thing where you think that Fort Worth, Arlington, and Dallas are the same place: it's called the Metroplex. None of our cities are really distinct if you don't live here or pay attention. Highland Park is its own city and it's right in the middle of Dallas. It's a weird situation, but it's a separate city. They have their own fire station, police department, court, etc. There's also Irving, Arlington, Keller, Plano, Addison, Garland, and Mesquite (to name a few). They're ALL their own cities, but also a part of the great mass of cities making up North Texas. You all have amazing suggestions!

Seriously though, thanks for all the links and suggestions (and humor) so far!You'll be a five- or six-minute drive or a twenty-minute walk away. But seriously, you'll be two blocks from the largest arts district in the nation AND the Cathedral. Don't miss seeing them! No, it's in Arlington (now the armpit of the Metroplex), which is right next to Dallas (and is now home to that giant spaceship-thing temple to Jerry Jones' ego, directly next to Six Flags). Six Flags over Texas is the original Six Flags.More accurately, Arlington is right next to Fort Worth. You have to drive through Irving and/or Grand Prairie to get to Arlington. It's like it just keeps getting worse the further west you go...eta: I hate this about myself, but I can't help pointing out the history to people. (I don't think Six Flags belongs in any other states.) The only thing cool to do when you are in Dallas is to find the nearest airport and leave that wretched state. :rolleyes: You know you love it here.

(I don't think Six Flags belongs in any other states.) Yeah, that makes sense. My dad just never made a distinction and he always said it was Dallas (Even though he's really smart and is well aware of the distinction). And I agree. I have gone to many Six Flags parks in my time, and none of them have compared to yours. Then again, it is the first Six Flags, so it makes sense that there are more things there than in other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
