Pardon me. When I return home I'll acess my vast collection of "Dallas night life" shots and post a few.

Houston Street Party Dallas Street Party The level of discourse on this forum has reached a new high.

Greetings neighbor. You don't have access to the 10th floor because I'm the mail boi on that floor. Surely we have bumped in to each other on the freight elevator pushing our respective mail carts.

As a Dallasite, I read HAIF to learn about what's happening in Houston. I think it really adds color to the developer press releases published in the trade/business journala. I would think that the Houstonians, on HAIF, would want to use the Dallas topic treads to discuss projects and get that same kind of insight. However, every time information is presented on in the Dallas topic thread, it is met with hostile skeptism and the thread denegrates in to a Dallas bashing. I really try not to read this secition of HAIF because useless negative banter with virtually not substantive information. I really wonder why the moderators allow the Dallas topic to remain on HAIF given the fact that a free flow of information and ideas is impossible. I also question why Rosewood is allowed to continue his inflamitory schtick on the board. Unless moderators view his presence as a useful tool to continue this topic's tradition of Dallas-bashing.

You guys should really read the Dallas forum's response to this article. Check out the entire forum for that matter. I bet there is a much different view of Houston expressed in the forum than many of you will expect. Most people in Dallas have a healthy respect for Houston, but love Dallas because its their home. I've always sensed a diffent vibe towards Dallas from Houston folks. The DMN article was a failed attempt at satire and it certainly does not express the views of most people in Dallas that I know. I think we should all be thankful that we live in a state with so many great cities.
