Move to Austin for your own sake. Quality of life is the highest of any Texas city. Coming from Europe you'd be disappointed with San Antonio. Dallas is pretty good but not as good as Austin. We can close this thread now because I answered your question.

Didn't see original use here but can also mean Mid Century Modern - a particular design style from the last century. Highly desirable by many.

Dallas IMHO: Big and over-the-top, but well-done - not in a tacky, blingy, South Florida sort of way. After all, it's all about business. Dallas.... It's MY town!

LOTS of homes have the red terra cotta roof tiles and stucco-ish exteriors.... Does that count??

I think, given the context, TC80 was using it for Mid-Century Modern.

ETA: Whoops! Just saw that SouthernBelle already commented on this.

*lol* I like your sense of humor!

Mid-Century Modern is what I see here all the time and I grew up in one of these houses. I think I'm more interested in the traditional Styles, using materials like aged wood, clay, lime stone, ceramics. I've always lived in stone houses, so I think I'll need some time to get used to these wood constructions, thin walls and no basement.
