Dallas-What A City!!
Dallas is one place that I have to say is a great place to live, work, and of course to play in. The people in the Dallas area are friendly, helpful, and you might even hear them say “how ya’ll doing”! One thing I noticed when I first moved to the area was how people would just come up and talk with you. They acted like they knew me and it was refreshing from where I had moved from. Another thing that caught my eye was that in many restaurants or other activities, people from all walks of life seemed to intermingle. There were people wearing jeans and others in suits and it didn’t seem to matter to any of them how they were dressed. Of course, we have the places were it is required to wear nicer clothing. It is just nice to see that everyone seems to get along so well.
I remember coming into the Dallas area and seeing the signs “Drive Friendly” and you know those signs really said a lot about Texans. They have strong beliefs and are very independent, but they are downright friendly in most cases. Cars or trucks would pass on some of the smaller roads and people would wave at us. I thought at first they must be someone I knew, then I realized it was just their way of saying “howdy”! I liked it!!
I have been to Maverick basketball games, Stars hockey games, Cowboy football games, and the Texas State Fair and had a great time with the people who were there. Football still seems to be king in this area. The museums, the plays, the Dallas Zoo, the West End, and many other attractions gives people who move here a variety of things to do. Most of these activities are right in Dallas and then you have even more activities surrounding the Dallas area. You have Six Flags,
Lone Star Park, and the Texas Motor Speedway. There is something for everyone.
I was not born in Texas, but I considered myself a “naturalized Texan” and I am proud of it. Texans are proud of their State and you will hear them talk about it. They are not shy, but open about their opinions and that is okay. I am also proud of being a Realtor at
Keller Williams Realty. It is a Texas company that was founded in Austin and is now the 4th largest franchised real estate company in North America and growing. I love helping people move to this area and most everyone finds the homes extremely affordable and you get a lot of square footage for your money. Texas was recognized in national news as one of the “best” places to live because of home affordability. It had the most influx of new people than any other state in the U.S. in 2007. It has more fortune 500 companies headquarters than any other state. Texas is now recognized as the #1 state for wind power generation. I think that has to do with generating electricity and not us Texans shooting the breeze!
