yes something should definately be done about this, but what is to be determined

already on those lists brian....have we met?

we can talk conspiracy theories.. or better still we can make one up and see how far it will go. that aside Dallas is dead.. the streets are quiet.

there is a great little coffee shop on exposition. very non-starbucksish and you can smoke indoors!

Deep Ellum and Lower Greenville are your best bets.

Fair Park is just next to Deep Ellum and has some good spots.
Xpo Lounge
Double Wide
Meridian Room
Bar of Soap

I think the coffee place Stephanie was mentioning was the
New Amsterdam Coffeehaus (+/- a few odd vowels)

FT Worth is always fun...Wreck room!!!

Plenty of little bars in Lakewood.

If you are a live and let live kind of guy and dont
mind hanging out in a mixed bar...the Grapevine in
Oak Lawn is stellar...2 dollar anythings almost
every day for happy hours.

Still...and now I plug and promote like I always do.
The show to see and be seen at is The Boys Named Sue
at Muddy Waters on Sunday nights (lowest greenville.)

Dallas is known as the hub. basically, it's a city that most people visit for flight delays, then leave. There's no real solid sense of community here. People are WAY too self absorbed to talk to anyone they don't know in public....and the entire freeform society scene has been swept outta town.

It's great for being a corporate doppleganger though...I've always managed to retain employment even in the extreme periods of downsizing.....all related companies will play follow the leader too, but there's always an opening somewhere's if your lookin for one.

All work, no play...but hey, it's ok I could be on a farm in delaware trying to make things grow...never really my speciality.

Austin is just a drive away tho...
