What do you consider the core of Dallas. While not all aprts of the Inner Loop are urban and it isn't even the msot dense part of the city, Then inner loop is often considered the true, center of Houston. I has a lot of wealth (IE Southwest portion of the Loop and the Western portion of the Loop in general) and has three of the most important districts located in it with Uptown just bordering it. What would be the inner loop of Dallas? Please make a list of core neighborhoods (rich, poor, industrial or commercial) that would add up to at least 50 square miles of core Dallas but less than 100 square miles.

If you want you can define the central core of other Texas Cities such as Austin, Fort Worth and San Antonio using the same parameters. At least 50 miles not more than 100.

What is this, a geography quiz? Do you not have access to Google Maps or something?


1) Loop 12
2) I-635
3) 190/President Geo. Bush Hwy.


Next!

I am not talking about naming loops but what would be considered the actual core. 610 is pretty much considered the central part of Houston. Most of these cities either don't have a loop that surrounds Central Dallas, Central Fort Worth, Ccentral Austin or Central San Antonio etcetera. I am asking what neighborhoods would you consider to be central for those cities.

The downtown, Uptown and medical centers of Central Dallas are all in close proximity. Add the wholesale districts of the Dallas Design District and Dallas Market Center. There are the neighborhoods of Knox - Henderson, Deep Ellum, and Turtle Creek as well.

Love Field is a well connected part of central Dallas as well.

Loop 12 for the most part does loop around central dallas. Loop 410/ loop 13 surrounds central San Antonio

Dallas has loops, too. The "center core" neighborhoods lie within Loop 12 (also known as Northwest Highway & several other names as it circles the city). This area includes the neighborhoods of Uptown, Downtown, Lower Greenville, Lakewod, North Oak Cliff- Kessler Park/ Bishop Arts/etc, The Park Cities, Deep Ellum, Southside/The Cedars, West Dallas, etc.

The 635 loop is closer to what 610 is in Houston - the majority of the city of Dallas is within the 635 loop.

Actually, the loop of 'super streets' making up the state Loop 12 in Dallas is larger than the interstate Loop 610 in Houston. Because of this, NorthPark Center is located about the same distance from downtown Dallas as is the Houston Galleria from downtown Houston. Any three digit numbered interstate ending in an odd number is a spur (635): If it is an even number it is a complete loop (610).

In Houston, Hobby airport is located outside of loop 610. In Dallas, it is located within the state highway of loop 12. A recent visiting dignatary of Japanese officials viewing from an observation tower downtown marveled at the close proximity of Love Field to central Dallas. The direct connection the airport has with central Dallas is also unique. Having a huge surrounding regional market helped preserve the legacy retail in Dallas. The same isn't true in Houston. This is why the urban area in central Dallas beats that in Houston.

Not quite. A three digit interstate that begins with an even number is a loop (as 635 is, since it connects two interstates: 20 and 35E), a three digit interstate that starts with an Odd number is a spur. By your reasoning, all accessories to north south interstates would be spurs, and all accessories to east west interstates would be loops.

I look at loop 12 in Dallas as an answer to loop 610 in Houston. Don't know the population inside of this loop nor the sq mileage of it is. But inside of here is where you find the most urban parts of not only the city but the entire metro area of DFW.

I honestly would say 635 in Dallas is Beltway 8 in Houston.
