Right!!!.......but you know we cant count that kind of activity....even though the entire month of October is the most festive time in Dallas. Even though the streets will be busy trains packed going in all directions. It just doesn't count....even though reunion tower's attendance is way beyond what they could ever imagine. ...at $16 a pop....more than when it was free. Klyde Warren park is full on ANY given night...horse drawn carriages litter the west end and uptown streets on ANY given night....NONE of this counts....All of the Weddings and private events held downtown don't count because they are "special events" ..........that chose downtown. ....who would choose such a dead place like downtown to have their wedding?...those people are crazy!....why would someone be caught at kwp at night?....With all the beautifully lit arches and in-park restaurants. Winding romantic walkways under the glistening lighting of the Dallas skyline. ....Downtown Dallas is horrible and dead as a door knob...All of the magnificent stuff thats goin on down there...just ignore it....its because of some stupid event....as usual.

I live in Dallas so you can't fool me. Like I said, its foolish to use this weekend as some sort of "example" of Downtown Dallas' vibrance. Its like Houston claiming the downtown activity during All Star weekend is the "norm". Get outta here. Both Dallas and Houston's downtowns are relatively dead after work hours.

this whole last page is full of LOLOLs... i guess Dallas is the only city that has "events"..

as Marco (a DALLASITE, stop trying to throw Houstonians under the bus when its a fellow resident of your own city making those statements) said, OU/UT weekend is a terrible example of city life.

BTW i thought the streetcar was closed? it was all fenced off last week when i was in Dallas and looked like it hadnt been used in a while.

That had to be the extension that they are working on. The traditional line is always in operation.

ah cool, i had no idea the new extension went north/south, into uptown, from downtown. i thought that was the M line or something. im talking about the tracks that go through Klyde Warren.

My first post on the subject. It was cool reading the old comments from 6 years ago. Both cities have grown. First, I consider all DFW's buildings when comparing cities. Dallas' downtown core (with Uptown right, right on top of it) looks better than downtown Houston. Downtown Houston is taller but has no other districts as adjacent. Houston still has more buildings overall though. Since 2007, The Woodlands has added the 2nd of 400' twin towers, TMC keeps growing (and has lights), Memorial City and West to Katy has more 250' buildings, and more high rises in Uptown and The Heights. Houston holds major weight when it comes to buildings.
