DALLAS, TEXAS (Big D)
Not one of my favorite Texas cities, but a lot of people are happy to accept employment and go live there. Sadly, many of US remember Dallas as the city where our beloved president John F. Kennedy, was assassinated. But there are lots of good things to be said about this city, such as:
~ It has the nation's largest arts district. Bigger than New York and Los Angeles.
~ German chocolate cake originated in Dallas and was named after an American chocolate maker Samuel German.
~ The pilot season for the popular TV show “Dallas” (which ran from 1978 - 1991) was shot entirely on location in Dallas, Texas. Later on, most of the set was moved to MGM Studios in California, with some scenes shot at a ranch in Parker, Texas, and at a few locations in Dallas.
