Pros: Usefull hub, good shopping malls outside.
Cons: DFW airport lacking certain services, Dallas lacking charm

Let me say before I start this review is that the title kind of gives it away. I didn’t have a lot of time to explore the place, and when it actually opens I’m sure Dallas is average. But despite all the friendly people who occupy the state of ...

Cons: very long gate-to-gate walks, slow and infrequent shuttles

Cons: Pricey (at $50-$60 pp with drinks)

Stop me if you’ve heard this one… Seriously , the Texas De Brazil restaurant in Addison is absolutely worth a visit for those meat-lovers out there. You will leave drooling either because your stomach is full or you hadn’t been able to sample all...

Pros: The memories.

Pros: Good shopping, restaurants, an attempt at a rail system. Not much else.
Cons: Bad weather, traffic, ugly scenery and architecture, stuck-up residents
