I'm about 99.9% sure that I will be moving to Dallas, TX by next summer or earlier. Tell me where are the best places to live and other things about Dallas. I know that I can google this stuff up, but I'd rather hear your thoughts on Dallas, TX.

I been there once and it's kinda meh, it's better than Jacksonville, but I think San Antonio is the coolest Texan city.

Dallas is like Moscow during the MID 1990s

Bah, never had a soft spot for Dallas. They do have one of the largest anime cons, but the housing is expensive and I tend never to spend much time messing around in the "city". A bad example of urban sprawl.

Seriously urban sprawl.
Why are you moving to Dallas?

seriously?!?!? san antonio is the coolest texas city?!?! umm, yea, maybe for a mexican. i live in houston but my sister lives in dallas. she's always telling me there are alot of new clubs, bars, restaurants, etc opening up. she calls it a "cleaner version of houston". i haven't been there in years so i can't tell you if that's true or not. why are you moving to dallas anyways?

'Cause my BF lives there.

I lived there for awhile:

- Not as cosmopolitan as Seattle
- Not as boring as San Jose, Ca
- Few, if any Asian markets/stores
- Far from being as fast as Boston or NYC

Thats how I see it. You are better off chilling in Houston if you want fun



Yeah but dude without the correct atmopshere, those places are $hit

i live here its kinda boring. But around the metroplex we have plenty of chinatowns, and a large koreatown. That's usually where i am.

I want to visit the korea town, I have a few things I'd love to buy.

Arlington has a very large Asian Community and Lewsiville has a large Asian shopping mall - atleast I believe it's in Lewisville

A cousin of mine attended UTA in Arlington and said half his EE graduating class were Asian - the other half Indian

houston is the best city haha

that's interesting. My brother goes to college at Dallas. (UTD)
I think houston is better than dallas, though.

^Is he of legal age? I'll stalk him.

I spent a week in Houston before. It's alrite. I liked the mall and Viet town/square or whatever it was.

who's your brother?!?!

He's 19, turning 20 in July. Is that legal? :]

do u live in dallaas

no. I live in texas though. :]

austin for the laidback-ness, Houston > Dallas

PM ur Nintendo Wii number so we can chit chat

umm in dallas you should stay away from downtown unless you like traffic 24-7. You'd probably want to go in plano or richardson

I was born in Dallas.

hot import nights comin!!!

I live in Dallas, particularly in the North Side... DALLAS==HIGHEST CRIME EVER!! Large Asian communities are in Arlington, and Plano/Garland area.. But they're mainly Viets and Chinese, while Filipinos and Koreans are scattered all over the area lol

^ Very very true. Good thing I don't go to UTA, although I live about ten minutes away from there. They should really change it to "University of Texas Asians" because 95% of the population there, especially in the Science departments, are all Asians (mostly Viet), real talk.

Dallas isn't too bad though, although I wouldn't personally live there. They have the worst drivers ever, especially downtown. I'm more of a Fort Worth girl though, just because I was raised there half of my life. I'm now in Arlington and I don't like it too much just BECAUSE of the overpopulated Asian community and the fact that everyone knows everybody. >_>

Good luck on the move, although this post is dated several months back!

Looks like Dallas-Ft. Worth is either snoozing or out partying instead of logging in here these days.

Back when I was at UTA the engineering department seemed mostly Arabic instead of Asian.
Seems like Arlington's Asian community is growing into Grand Prarie, now that the Walmart has become a Hong Kong Market.

K-Town continues to be busy, even though the new H-Mart is drawing customers to north Carrollton. Including me, though I live 2x farther from the H-Mart than the Komart.

Fujitsu's Akimatsuri was this Sunday and though really small, there was a large turnout. 1/3 of all the booths were the area's larger Japanese restaurants and the lines were long. Luckily I had met a friend at Genroku for their $1 lunch special before going out there.

Anyone from DFW still around? If you are interested in Japanese or Korean, there are regular gatherings.

Dallas-- nice city to live in a little fun here and there supermarket is everywhere for viet.
ft.worth/arlington -- go here if you love thoes coffee shop or karoke place
Houst-- the party town, nothing else need to be said

WTF? 95% asian? try 17% including the massive Indian student body.
