Dallas County, Texas
Right in the heart of North Texas, Dallas County is a whole different animal. It’s urban, it’s slick, it’s always on the move. Dallas proper gets all the attention, but the county has 27 other cities too. Each one has its own vibe.
This place has come a long way from its cowtown roots. Now it’s all gleaming skyscrapers and sprawling suburbs. But you can still find traces of the old Texas if you know where to look. The State Fair of Texas is a big deal – fried everything and Big Tex saying “Howdy, folks!”
Traffic is a nightmare, not gonna lie. But the food scene? Out of this world. Dallas County is diverse as all get-out. You’ll hear languages from all over the globe. The Arts District downtown is top-notch. And let’s not forget the sports. The Cowboys, the Mavericks, the Stars. This county loves its sports teams.
