I googled "Dallas stereotypes" and this is what I found: big boobied cheerleaders, big cars, cowboys, blond teased hair, ladies who lunch, the sitcom "Dallas", George Bush (both of them) and JFK.
Based on the 1.5 weeks that I've been here so far, I'm going to say "yes". Here are some other observations I've made so far:
- 100+ degree weather EVERY SINGLE day. Although there are sidewalks galore, the only pedestrians you'll see are homeless people and...me. And I'll have heat rash.
- Hummers EVERYWHERE. Gross, especially when they only get 8 MPG.
- There is actually an abundance of public transportation here. It's not super convenient, but it's on time, comfortable, and inexpensive. There is even a McKinney trolley in my area that is FREE! People actually stare when they see me standing at a bus stop.
- The yogis here are HARD CORE. They have amazing bodies, are super spiritual, and have great taste in music.
- Alcohol is served at movie theaters! Well, at least the independent theaters, which is awesome. The Magnolia is just a block away, and has a very nice lounge, and the Angelika is one DART stop from Cityplace station.
- Dallas does not recycle. My building doesn't recycle. I think I found a recycling station near me, but not sure how often the recycling is collected.
ok, enough rambling for now. I'll have more dedicated posts in the future.
Today's Hummer count: 3
