Although I agree, Dallas - Ft. Worth wouldn't be that bad of a place to live. They have an extremely strong economy, good schools, good infrastructure. The cookie cutter neighborhoods/homes and strip malls just go hand in hand with that.
My only complaint is that you're isolated from a lot (beach, mountains), and that the cities lack a lot of good outdoor activities.

I lived in lower Greenville and loved it
Moved here in November and I love it so far. Good bar scene close with henderson/lower greenville within a mile and then uptown/Deep Ellum etc are within 10 minutes.
Plan to move up north east within next 2 years, but wanted to be in the city proper for my first time living here

No question that DFW is thriving right now but that’s a little misleading because of companies headquartered there. Dfw gets credit for the job growth because the “local” company hired for the positions, and maybe even trained the new employees locally, but the actual positions will be taken elsewhere.
What do you mean by this? Toyota just built its headquarters in Frisco, and all those jobs will be in Frisco. Same with State Farm in Richardson

Toyota is plano, but you're right. The jobs are here. The people are living here.

A girl I used to work with, a prototypical Chalmette yat, worked in sales for a building materials wholesaler in their NOLA office. The company moved her to the DFW office temporarily to help out after a hailstorm. After being there 6 months she decided to stay in DFW. She's been there 5 years of so and she loves it, makes twice what she made in NOLA (commission sales), and says she won't move back to NOLA.

Yeah technically Plano, but on the border. Another 0.5-1mile is Frisco.

So, you're basically saying if you love a place with great jobs and lots of stuff to do, then Dallas is the place for you. Got it!

It's rising a lot. Great jobs but that's it. You have stuff to do, it's not a horrible town. It's just suffocating to me personally.

Havent found too many great restaurants but i dont really like Mexican food. Fine dining sucks. Not enough variety of food choices.
Still not a terrible place to live.

Rouge, as a fine upstanding citizen. How do you rank the Dallas area you lived in, Houston area, and Baton Rouge? You have made a few disparaging comments towards Houston so just curious.

No matter where you go, you're going to find "cookie cutter neighborhoods."
Even centuries ago, and even in the heart of a city

Right. Not Frisco.
Frisco is just North of SRT. All those cities run together anyways.
Custer and 121/SRT has 4 corners and 4 different cities.

It’s a lack of really. But I have been to Ferrings, Mansion, Flora Street, Dakota’s.
Service at ferrings was clumsy. Food was ok—not that creative.
Been a while since I was at the Mansion so hopefully it’s still served at a high standard.
NorCal is not typical so I was spoiled by all the options there.
I dont go hungry or anything ;)

Yeah it's tough to come from an area with a Michelin guide and expect to find similar here.
Dallas people like their steakhouses.
Although not fine dining per se, if you haven't been to The Grape, you need to try it. It's a really fun place with great food.

The Grape
Is this in Downtown FT. Worth? I heard a coworker talking about it. Is it up there with Nick and Sam's?
Posted on 1/31/19 at 10:35 am to nobigdeal69
Lower Greenville.
Nick and Sam's is just a fancy steakhouse. The Grape's menu is more similar to what you would see in a Michelin restaurant, albeit obviously not on that level.
