"Baby Dolls" is the club to be exact.
DonR took me there immediately after picking me up at the airport, on my first trip to Dallas... EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas! |

Try the West End bunch of shops, restaurants, and night clubs, on Elm and Griffin downtown Dallas.
While you are there, visit the Sixth Floor Museum, which house memorabilia from the Kennedy Assassination. This the former Dallas Book Depository that Oswald shot Kennedy. They have some real interesting exhibit there. See if you can shoot 3 shots in rapid succession. See for yourself the distance that Oswald had to cover, and checkout the grassy knoll. Have fun, and report back when you get back. http://www.jfk.org/home.htm |

Hey LT.
Hope you make it out here. Dallas used to be a good place to live when I was a kid. Now it's just another big city. We are VERY gun friendly here though. Um. You may NOT want to take a lot of cash down on Harry Hines...trust ME on that one. [kill] SeanTX |

Well, I am setting up the interview either MOn the 12th or the following Mon. I will fly in on Sat prior, and use the extra time to check out the area, possible places to live, party spots since I'm single. If I get this job, which is 90% in the bag, I will have to take a pay cut. Since TX doesn't have state tax and cost of living is 1/3 less, I was thinking 40% paycut. However considering what I metioned I have recalculated only a 25% pay cut. If they give me an offer I am gone baby!!!!! Paroled from Kali.

Yes, don't take to much cash with you.[;)] Plenty of .223 maybe but not a wad of cash. We will welcome you, my brother to the Great state of Texas! Viva la Texas!! I live about 3 hours SE of Dallas. I hope you have a good trip,interview etc.

Texas is a class 3 and shall issue CCW. Overall the people are a lot friendlier than in So. calif. I spent a lot of time at the Galleria at the Tollway and 635. Just watch out for the "black ice" under the shawdows. My buddy slide all the way down to the bottom of the off-ramp last year. It scarced the $hit of out him. You can say goodbye to the grid lock at the El Toro Y.
Real estate is a bunch cheaper that Orange County. There is some real nice digs in North Dallas. |

Hell Don, maybe you could invite LORDTRADER to dinner. That would be a great way for an esteemed ADMIN to get to know another member passing through the area wouldn't it..? [;)] |

Well I finalized the interview. I will be in Dallas on the 16th Friday for the interview and leaving that Sun the 18th. I will be staying at the DoubleTree hotel on N. Central Expressway. So if anyone wants to take me around Sat. and show me around that would be awesome. If the interview goes well I was really thinking about checking out Plano for possible places to live. Was there 3yrs ago and I really liked it.

Once you've had enough (.)(.) (is that possible? whatever), take her to see a blues band. DFW (that's Dallas-Ft.Worth) and Texas in general has some killer players like Smokin' Joe Kubeck, Mike Morgan and the Crawl, Anson Funderburgh. Get some BBQ. If you've got big bucks, eat at The Mansion on Turtle Creek. I'll leave the BBQ recommendation to a real DFW Texan, I'm just a Georgia boy who's been all over Texas and liked most of it! [BD]

I may have been going 2 steps further than I need to go, since I don't have the job offer yet but. I checked out some apartments in the area and...[size=3][red]OH MY GOODNESS[/red][/size=3] did you Kali guys know that for half the price I'm paying for my condo I can have 2x the amount of space I have now!!!! I am paying $1200 for a 2bdrm, 2ba, attached garaged condo. To get the same in Dallas I will only be paying $600-800. Did I mention no state tax. I am really excited. I hope I get this job. The pay cut would hardly be noticeable.

Hey Lordtrader, Plano is cool but watch for the soccer moms, very deadly driving those SUV'S while talking on the cell phone. Also, there happens to be a shooting range on NW. HWY not far from the T-bars!!!!!

Soccer moms be damned!! HA! Plano is great - good, honest, no b.s. police force - three gun shops (not to mention sporting goods places) a nice indoor public range, ect, ect. If you move into the area, come visit Lone Star Guns in east Plano. The very best customer service, awesome gunsmithing, hardcore pro-RKBA, and a 20 yd pistol range in the shop for testing.

I agree with BullDawg! Check out Dave and Busters at Walnut Hill and Composite. (better known as restaurant row) Check out Red Hot and Blue or Bone Daddies in Richardson for some outstanding BBQ. Do the West End if possible too. You might also want to check out Deep Ellum just east of downtown if you like the Gen-X stuff. I also second checking out the Dallas Morning News if you get in on a Friday. The Weekend Guide will give you a rundown on everything happening in town that weekend. If you do go o the Mansion on Turtle Creek take $$$$$$$$$$! Your gonna miss a fair gun show at Big Town in Mesquite the 11& 12 but there may be a little one in Richardson the weekend your in. The Guide will have a listing or the Morning News sports section will list any shows when your here. Welcome to Texas and enjoy your stay.
PS. If you do move here make a post and we'll let you know what you need to do to become a "real Texan" :D |

Hey Gopher - If you meant that Mesquite's the 10th & 11th, let's try to hook up down there so's I can show you that gunleather.

If I can make it it will be on Sunday. I have a Daddy/Daughter Girl Scout function I have to attend Saturday. If I can make it I'll e-mail you later. That usually is a pretty good show. If you havent been to the show at the Rodeo arena a word of advice dont waste your time.

Lordtrader: You have just discovered what other individuals and companies have discovered. And one of the big reasons for fleeing South. Calif. area. The cost of living is a whole lot less. But the summers are REALLY HOT and HUMID, nothing like the mild temps in the summer and winter in Orange County, Calif. with the ocean influence.

Yo, LT...
Late to get into this thread, but some of us won't be available intown that weekend 'cause we'll be an hour west of there shooting .50's and AR's at TacPro. Maybe you'd like to join us? If you happen to visit the Lodge, know the lady owner and her protection train with some of us locally. You could ask about the Ron Jeremy brand cigars... Hope to meet you while you're here. Arock out. |
