Re: Dallas

Thanks, Frisco. I think he missed the point. Dallas' West End is ok if you like the chain restaurant kind of thing. When I go out of town, I prefer getting some local flavor, not a Chili's or Don Pablo's, which I can do at home.

Re: Dallas

DFW hardly unique as most major airports car rental facilities are off site now. The ride from terminal is <10 minutes. Big whoop....they got a lot of space out there...may as well use it.

It's been 6 years since I moved from there so it's changed a little bit. But Frisco's right.........the locals NEVER go to the West End. It's really for tourists staying downtown. When back in town, I usually stay at the Radisson on Central across from SMU. Not as glitzy as the Hyatt but very comfor...
