Yes, W. Village is definitely Uptown. East of Uptown would be east of 75.

I don't know why this site does not make it impossible to resurrect a thread that is more than a year old--ESPECIALLY when the poster starting it up again is not the original poster...

START A NEW THREAD--OLD NEWS IS NO NEWS--TIMES CHANGE--WE DON'T WANT TO CLICK A THREAD AND FIND OUT IT IS A TIME WARP...gosh...

WOW! They are laid out in a similar manner. Both metros are very spread out with many LARGE suburbs surrounding them. Dallas is much more affordable than LA. Do you already have a job lined up? If so, where? In what type of environment do you want to live.... urban, suburban or in-between? Does the school district matter at this point? What type of ambience do you seek....WEHO, Bev Hills, Compton, Covina, Orange County? They are all here. Just like the LA area, The DFW area is extremely diverse.

Feel free to ask any question you may have as I may be able to answer them. I am a lifelong, 40 years so far, resident of the Dallas area as well as a mom! Hope this helps and like I said, feel free to ask any question you may have. Have a great day!

I might take a few different tangents here, forgive me.

I'm a 27-y/o single male from outside of Norfolk, VA, but lived in DFW as a kid, and always visit family in Irving, which I love! The downtown section off the LBJ is really nice as well, and Las Colinas is beautiful. I love the Norfolk area, but there's a lot of things the area must work out, and being a military city, the cost-of-living is horribly out of proportion, mainly because of the high housing allowances offered.

I've been considering making a move, so I'm glad this thread keeps getting resurrected instead of me asking questions in a new one. Now, I could stay with family in Irving, but would be looking to get my own place within a few months of moving there, and wouldn't leave Norfolk until a job was lined up. Speaking of, my background is TV, having worked at a news station here behind-the-scenes, but my big thing is filmmaking and feature TV production. I know of course "Dallas" filmed there, but is DFW a big filmmaking/TV production area? I'm also considering PR as my next career move, doing film stuff on the side...

Looking at a few places in DFW, I've seen a few condos go starting in the mid-$60s? Forgive my dumb question, but is that a bargain, or do you get what you pay for? In Norfolk, $60,000 is either in the hood or needs a ton of improvements. I also noticed a new condo tower in Las Colinas going for about $150K (Grand Treviso...ring a bell?), and I was highly impressed, considering that same condo would be close at least $250K here.

As for the dating scene, the "kid in a candy store" analogy is only icing on the cake!
