How can you think of Dallas without a few places coming to mind? Is it the skyscrapers so well-known for composing the city’s unique skyline? perhaps the many famous sports clubs? Currently the principal attraction to Dallas is the new Cowboys Stadium, a place where the Dallas Cowboys play – one of the leading professional football (American).
With a TV covering twenty yard-line to twenty yard-line and spaces for eighty thousand people, the Cowboys stadium is a place football fanatics must see when they visit. The Rangers continue at home in their Ballpark in Arlington, and the Stars and Mavericks both come to us on television from the American Airlines Center, also trip-worthy sights for the out-of-towner.
While these well-known attractions are magnificent places to pay a visit, there are countless more. Don’t overlook such places as:
• Reunion Tower
• Union Station
• The Old Red Courthouse
• Cathedral Santuario de Guadalupe
• Dallas Fair Park
• Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center
Reunion Tower is possibly the most well-known structure on the skyline. Completed in 1978 as an observation tower, this building stands five hundred and sixty feet tall and is well-known the world across for its eye-catching design. Especially noticeable at night due to its great array of lights, the Tower is not a sight you soon forget.
Union Station, the Old Red Courthouse, and the Cathedral Santuario de Guadalupe are among numerous historical places found within the enormous city. As a converging point of many cultures and markets, it is no surprise that such structures remain so well preserved. Many are famed not only for the things housed within their historic walls, but for their very architecture.
I you aren’t interested in such things as sports or history, Dallas still has a lot to offer at such places as the Dallas Fair Park.. The park spans an imposing two hundred and seventy-seven acres. She began in 1886 as the hosting grounds of the Texas State Fair and retains that privilege while now offering a variety of cultural experiences and learning opportunities. In addition to museums of science, an aquarium housing three hundred and seventy-five marine and fresh-water species, and the Cotton Bowl Stadium, the fair grounds hosts the Music Hall at Fair Park through which the Dallas Summer
Musicals pass.
If musicals on fair grounds are not what you want possibly you will be more at home in the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. The center opened in September of 1989 and has since become a crowning point of Dallas’ rich cultural experiences as artistic talent graces the stage in many forms and for various occasions. The building itself is an extraordinary architectural undertaking. She hosts an elegant face with many open spaces and walls catering to unmatched acoustics.
These marvelous places count among the jewels of Dallas’ streets, but the best way to truly meet Dallas is coming and finding those which call to you most strongly. The untellable bounty of such a collection of culture, art, and history is the impression left on the individuals who pass through its domain.
