I have to admit I enjoy that aspect of it. My drive to work goes by a field of cattle, buffalo, and horses just across the tollway from the Legacy business district. It's an area of tech business in the area and there are always tons of visitors from India in that area. I often see them standing at the fences feed them carrots or talking to them. I can only imagine their curiosity. It's a very interesting dynamic.

I don't leave trolls alone until they go away.

I think you need to get a life.

Jeez, Dallas must be really boring if you have nothing better to do than bother me! LOL.

I've never heard Dallas and beautiful in the same sentence unless girls are being described.

Unfortunately, Dallas doesn't have mountains or white sand beaches. But in my opinion, what it lacks in natural beauty it makes up for with lush, beautiful neighborhoods and pleasant urban streetscapes. There are some great parks, lakes, creeks, and wooded areas to be found all over the metroplex.

It's more of a manufactured beauty, but I still find it nice to look at.

Actually, Boca must be pretty boring if you have nothing better to do than to troll the Dallas thread.

You see this only in affluent areas.

I disagree with you on this.

Not all lower income neighborhoods have nice parks or creeks, but they are out there.

Wynnewood and Elmwood in North Oak Cliff have some wonderful creeks and trees.
The Cedars, south of downtown, has Old City Park nearby.
The area around Samuell Grand Park is not affluent, but the park is beautiful.
Bachman Lake is not in an affluent part of Dallas.
Reverchon Park, Cole Park, Garrett Park, Tietze Park, Kiest Park, and Greiner Park are among the neighborhood parks that are not in affluent areas of Dallas.

There are many tree lined streets all over the city, not just in affluent areas, that are just pretty. Not drop-dead gorgeous, but they are delightful enough to feed my soul.

I find it sad that either some of you haven't seen the beauty around you or that you can't see the beauty. A woman can be beautiful without being Angelina Jolie. A building can be beautiful without being the Taj Mahal or the Eiffel Tower. A city can be beautiful without being London or Honolulu or Tokyo.
