Eh? Performing arts is opera, theater, ballet, etc.; not sure what a Museum of NATURAL SCIENCE has to do with performing arts but I can see what a museum of NATURAL SCIENCE has to do with insects.

It's ok though, maybe one day Dallas can have a museum to be second in attendance in the nation.

Oh, sorry, well next time, at least bring something up that doesn't have DFW painted in the same negative light as Houston.

FWIW, Houston is a fine, fine city. The people are very friendly and the city has all of the amenities of the other major cities in the country (good food, shopping, etc); on par with anyone.

The ONLY reason I couldn't live in Houston is because of the freaking humidity.

It's bad enough here in the DFW area, but not quite as bad as Houston. Plus, the bugs (and we have PLENTY here, but not as much as Houston), which are a result of the humidity and ultra mild winters there.

We don't get a midwestern winter here in DFW, but boy, this last one was a doozie (18 inches of snow, ugh).
