Dallas is what you think you don’t want, early on, but then you discover, yeah, actually, you do. You may visit much larger, much glitzier cities with their winning sports teams and their non-endangered levies and their silly, silly hotels owned by companies that aren’t cities, but Dallas is home. You turn onto LBJ, and then onto Inwood or Preston, and you get that little, tiny thrill when you see the downtown skyline rising up in the distance, even as you’re driving through neighborhoods shaded by large trees (and, according to some, mountains and rivers).

Mountains & rivers in Dallas? I think I've heard it all...

It is an inside joke.

We’ve got the luxuries of a D.C., NYC, San Francisco, etc., but there is just a better vibe that comes from our people. And I just can’t seem to home in on exactly why that is, but I know that I can have a conversation with a complete stranger no matter where I am, whether it’s a convenience store, restaurant, elevator, or parking lot. Being an insane extrovert, I love it!

Dallas-Fort Worth has a mountian, it is the highest point in The Metroplex.

Slipdown Mountain in Parker County 1368 ft.

It is like a giant limestone hill, but at least it is something.

Where are my urban radio music experts. Here's a Wiki list of urban radio stations. For those of you who follow radio you know you have to ignore the ones that say "Rhythmic" because that's pretty much just a new word for "Pop". Anyway, excluding Gospel, Dallas lists four "real" FM urban stations. This is very much expected. But do my eyes decieve me, but excluding the one gospel station, does Houston really only have two FM urban stations? Or is this list just wrong?
