Lodging in a Nutshell |
by Elizabeth Smith, Dallas Correspondent |
 Whether you're visiting Dallas for business or pleasure, you'll be happily surprised by the many choices you'll find for hotel accommodations, exciting entertainment events and tasty cuisine.
Affectionately known as “Big D,” this is a city that enjoys sharing its personal warmth with all who will just take a little time to visit with the folks who live and work here.
While you may encounter a few folks who will remind you of the regulars on the Dallas TV series that aired years ago, most people here don't own cattle and have never ridden - much less owned - a horse. Like so many cities preparing to enter the new millennium, Dallas continues to try and carefully preserve some of its older traditions while gracefully inviting in the technologies of the future.
In many ways, Dallas has grown to such an extent that its layout is best understood if compared to a city such as Los Angeles. Numerous suburbs, once viewed as mere satellite areas of Dallas, are now self-contained little worlds of their own. Furthermore, the two largest cities in the area, Dallas and Fort Worth, once separated by nearly 30 miles of barren land, are almost completely linked together now by housing subdivisions, business parks and a variety of new industrial projects.
To reach Dallas, you will need to fly into either the large Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) or the highly popular and centrally located Love Field Airport. Unless they're flying in from great distances, most local residents prefer Love Field. Top
