You are correct. This one shows the greenery that the picture I posted did not as it was aerial and the surface lots were visible rather than the treetops. Thanks.

I am not arguing that Houston has a bigger skyline...I know it does...I am from there. However, the Houston picture shows the length of the Skyline, while the Dallas picture does not. You guys know that Dallas can be seen better than that.

Not a very comparible view

That's actually a good point. Dallas really is a poor, black city.

This quote is so wrong on all levels

In 1990: Houston 1,630, 553

In 2005: Houston 2,016,582 +386,029

In 1990: Dallas 1,110,549

In 2005: Dallas 1,213,825 +103,276

I understand the "metroplex" proper is the 5th largest in the U.S. and we're a paltry 7th largest. But, that said, the City of Houston is yo daddy. Like they say, Dallas and Austin have the pretty boys, but Houston is where the men are.

Houston annexed so much land bro

This one is more up-to-date. Three cities also appear in both the downtown and suburban

Uptown is the only urban hot area of Dallas?? Granted you don't live here...but have you seen what has happend to Oaklawn. Not to mention the new hot areas, like Cedars and Bishop Arts in Oakcliff (a large new mixed used development was just announced to complement the orginal. Oakcliff (north) is experiencing a huge renaissance itself. Look across the freeway from Northpark, a massive mixed used development is underway that will be equal to Northpark in size. It will not only contain retailers like a flagship Whole Foods store and H&M, but will also have highrise office, condos and a hotel. Mockingbird Station is preparing to expand into its parking lots and developers are tearing out apartment complexes around the Galleria for mixed use developments some of which is near completion. Lofts, townhomes and new retail is going up all around lower Greenville and east Dallas. In the Hospital District near Parkland, a developer (Cityville) is near completion of the first phase of a massive mixed use development. And other's are scrambling to buy tracts in the areas ( I have a friend in the area and all three apartments complexes in his neighborhood have been purchased for teardown.) And north of that, plans have been announced on NW Highway near Bachman Lake to transform a shopping area there into a substaintial mixed used development that will hopefully jumpstart more in the area. And westward lots of new urban housing has been announced in the Design District. Not to mention, downtown is one big constuction zone.

I love Houston and what's going on there, but to say that Uptown is the only hot area of Dallas is simply untrue..far from it. And I'm sure I'm leaving things out, but this was all from the top of my head.

You left out Las Colinas and Addison, they are very Urban, Addison is like having another Uptown

Dallas lands AFI Film Festival

01:56 PM CDT on Wednesday, September 20, 2006

By CHRIS VOGNAR / The Dallas Morning News

The cat got out of the bag last week, but now the news is official: Dallas has landed what organizers hope will be a major international film festival.

The announcement was made this morning at a sun-soaked gathering at Victory Park, a site referred to several times as the "epicenter" of the AFI Dallas International Film Festival, which will run March 22 through April 1.

With 11 venues

I jus thank its stupid its downtown dammit

why do they call it uptown its downtown isnt it

Whichever, it seems that a lot of the new "Dallas" posters need to develop a bit more thin skin, and they especially need to chill with the ridiculous "gee, people from Dallas don't seem to say negative things about Houston."

It's silly and wrong. Stop it.

Very well done, love the colors

hahaha nope.

Just something I've picked up on living in Dallas now for 3 years.

Houston is my home though

Amazing

The last Pic rocks

I have seen the same thing
