Im moving to Dallas, what can you tell me? -

All I know is that it is hot, humid, and pretty. Let me know of anything I need to know, anything interesting, and places to shop. Near Plano or Richardson?

I love shopping in Dallas!

It s ok. You posted in the Houston category but that doesn t mean we can t answer it. I am a Houstonian who has moved to Dallas for work/grad-school. I wasn t too fond of Dallas years ago but after making the move I have come to appreciate it. It is not Houston As Houston has its own charm so does Dallas. I will say that I find Dallas to be cleaner than Houston, a lot more wealthier businesses and client-tel, people tend to be snootier in Dallas based on what Dallasites say but I don t see much difference. Legacy Shops in Plano is very nice. They have it all. I d rather live in Plano than Richardson if I was raising a family. Plano is a distant drive from the core of Dallas but it does distant itself from the middle class and crime that is prevalent in Dallas (watch A E s First 48). Makes you wonder if Dallas has as much crime or more than Houston. All in all I d choose Plano if I was settling down... the next choice would be Frisco. There is life over yonder in the distant north side of Dallas :) Being that I am still young and not faced with responsibilities of raising a family I chose to live in the hustling and bustling mix of uber-trendiness and young professional sprawling among lounges, restaurants, and boutique shops all within the walking distance of vibrant Uptown (located near Downtown Dallas). This is where daily living meets distinction and elegance for the workaholics who prefer to live next to their office, where students prefer to live it up off trust funds, where sophisticated individuals (or at least what they may think in their head) go to spend money, laugh, wine, dine, and shop. The exact replica of this could be found in Plano at the Shops at Legacy for a more mature crowd. Plano is a great locale among others in Dallas where many of the new-money is going to and where wealth is abundant. Richardson is just a suburbia that boasts alot of old and new money but I can t say much about it as I don t have much experience spending time there. Lastly, Dallas is not humid. No where near how my hometown of Houston is. It gets alot chillier living up in North Texas and it isn t rare to see snow come down.

You re right about the heat scenery but I think you goofed this is the Houston section sweetie . You will get more reponses in the Dallas section. Plano Richardson used to be nice areas but IDK about now. Colin Creek used to be a real nice mall.

You might ask in the Dallas category, NOT the Houston category.

I agree, posting this in the Dallas section will get you more results, and they will probably be more accurate.

Dallas is not as humid as Houston.

They have the Dallas Cowboys! woooo go cowboys lol

post this in the dallas section. maybe they can help you since this is the houston travel section. what would we know?
