Per my previous threads on this forum, I am inclined on moving to Dallas from Los Angeles.. However before making a decision, I would like to take a clost look at the city to get a feel of it.

Any recommendations on things we could do in Dallas while we are there? Any major attractions?

Also I will be driving around Irving/Richardson area... Any specific apartment complexes/neighbourhoods I can visit?

Thanks a lot for your very helpful responses in the past.

Google Lake Carolyn in Las Colinas. Lots of upscale apartments in the area. Las Colinas is part of Irving.
