Dallas and North Texas Pictures and Places

Posted in Blog, Writing

Today is Saturday March 16, 2013.

Dallas and north Texas is a special place. It attracts people like a picnic attracts ants. The population of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan region soared faster in a one-year period than any other in the country, with the Houston area coming in second, according to new figures from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Census estimates released Thursday show nearly 132,000 people were added to the Dallas-Fort Worth area from July 2011 to July 2012. Since April 2010, the region’s population has grown by nearly 275,000 people.

Let me share five pictures of the Dallas area.

Number one: Downtown Dallas from the Flower Market.

Recognize this place? It is the South Fork Mansion Drive over at the South Fork Ranch. The Ewing Mansion is to the right in the picture. It is about 25 minutes from my house.
