Dallas

Dallas is a city of firsts, some of them dubious such as America's first frozen daiquiri machine, Americas's first Tex-Mex restaurant, and America's first Neimann Marcus store.

Dallas and Houston were 4th and 2nd in America's top 5 states for inbound population movement which means that the rest of the USA thinks Texas is a pretty good places to live. perhaps Florida has lost its pedestal rating for most retirees?

The Old Red Museum -1892. Was originally a courthouse.
Dallas' first Presbyterian church
Adolphus Hotel
Pioneer Plaza - the worlds largest bronze sculpture which commemorates 19th century cattle drives that took place along the Shawnee trail. There are 70 bronze steers and 3 trail riders.
The McKinney Avenue trolley

Thanksgiving Square chapel. One of the most beautiful lead light displays in America.
Thanksgiving square Bell Tower with 3 Liberty Bell replicas
The Dallas Baptist Church fountain
The Perot Science Museum
The John Fitzgerald Kennedy Memorial
The old Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railway Co of Texas
The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge - 400 foot high, 1200 foot span.
And of course a real Texan needs boots...
And hats...
And belt buckles...
Even crosses!
