Check this Fort Worth night tour out... Those endless feeders roads are there along I 35...Plus it gives a more accurate view than Metro-Matt one shot photos
I don't have a problem with the country wide open space look...DFW sits on a prairie/rolling hill terrain what do you expect? During the night time hours DFW lite up is really cool.
I don't have a problem with it either, kdogg. In fact, it's part of the reason why DFW looks more tidy and organized than the Houston area. Atlanta is very similar with a lot of country looking places outside of the core. Only difference is the trees are much taller.
But before Houstonians run off with themselves, Houston does have several country feeling parts as well. Especially on the northeast side. In some areas driving to Humble or Atascocita, you wouldn't know that weren't driving thru some red neck town in East Texas.
Night time is the perfect time to explore Houston on the freeways, in my opinion. It's dark so all you see is tall buildings everywhere and lights, lights, lights. It's so much fun.
For those few hours without sunlight, Houston doesn't look so cruddy.
The City of Dallas extends south of I-20 & parts of it still look very countryish, open land with cattle grazing & little in the way of modern development with your occasional liquor store or fireworks stand off the side of the interstate.
That part of Southern Dallas County isn't apart of Dallas.
Leave it to Metro Matt to point that out. I thought the city of Dallas didn't have any available land to grow? I know there is land in Southern sector of Dallas into Hutchins that is suppose to house the Logistic Hub.
Dallas has a lot of land to grow on.
6 years ago Dallas was only using 247.5 sq mi of land.
