This is My Town?




I find myself asking, "Did my boyfriend toss an imaginariy dart at the map?"
Describing the exact location of my new digits is almost like falling off the edge of society to the stunned silence of my Seattlite friends. I give up and am simply claiming Dallas as my new city! Besides, it's easier to explain.
Now that I'm here, I figured it was important to become more familiar with this odd little town. I did a quick search and here's what I found:
-My new town is "wealthy" (maybe the missing teeth are just a "wealthy" aversion to dental work?)
-The cost of living is below the National Average (understandable)
-And it was twice named an "All American City" (not sure what that is based on, so no comment).
Arts and Culture I found included the Children's Choir, a small group of local artists, and the Little Theater. I really don't think any of these will be worth looking into, but will add them to the list should I want to send family out to entertain themselves for an hour or so.
The bread-winner jobs seem to relate to transportation and trucking services. (I'm trying to be optimistic about work options, but this is another reason to claim Dallas. It looks like my time and paychecks will be flowing from that direction.)
The jitters are setting in... or maybe it's just my missing lattes from the days I could sit at my favorite coffee shop and watch Seattle's workforce drive through the rain.
