Dallas

"Live large, think big" is far more than boosterism in the fantastic Texas city of Dallas, among the largest cities in the United States. Dallas is grabbing headlines worldwide for ambitious projects to transform its urban core into a cultural mecca, a $12 billion (USD) plan that includes the just-opened AT&T Performing Arts Center, home to five performance venues with designs by such architectural standouts Norman Foster and Rem Koolhaas. The 19-block arts district now ranks as the largest of its kind in the nation. And travel to Dallas is more convenient than ever through DFW International Airport, which provides non-stop service to nearly 40 international cities.
