While the west begins in Fort Worth, Dallas is where the east peters out. Fort Worth with about a half million people has also been know as Panther City (because of reports of bobcat sightings) and Cowtown.
Because the two cities share the large Dallas Fort Worth airport there has been some rivalry between the two cities. Fort Worth thinks that the citizens of Dallas are snobs, and Dallas thinks that Fort Worth is an overgrown rambunctions cowboy town.
We went to Ft. Worth to see the cattle drive. Leave a Comment

I went to Irving and Las Colinas, and Mandalay Canal when I was in the area in 1997. I was particularly impressed with the Mustangs of Las Colinas. Los Colinas is a planned development where the sculptures are displayed. It consists of high-rise office towers, retail centers, upscale residences and apartment complexes, and golf courses in Irving TX. Irving also has Texas Stadium (where the Cowboys play,) the Movie Studios at Las Colinas and more.
When we visited in 2006, we got to see the Los Colinas Mustang (free) museum, and also we took a ride on the elevated rail line. Leave a Comment

 PSA Star Center by grandmaR
The Plano Sports Authority has this complex which includes a full size NHL hockey rink. The actual PSA center is two years old
The website says: "Plano Sports Authority was founded as a non-profit agency in December, 1970 when the individual sports leagues incorporated to form one administrative youth sports organization. It provides quality year-round recreational sports leagues to all boys and girls who live within the Plano Independent School District and surrounding areas." Leave a Comment

Frisco is mostly a bedroom community 12 miles north of Dallas in central Collin County. My daughter who lives there says that you can live, shop and eat there, but there are not many tourist attractions.
They do have a stampeding sculpture in their Central Park which is at the northwest corner of Parkwood Blvd and Warren Parkway and down the main road in front of the Target shopping center.
In 1902, when the post office was established, the town was named Frisco City after the St. Louis, San Francisco and Texas Railway Company, known as the Frisco system. Later the name was shortened to Frisco. Leave a Comment

If there is one thing that is associated with Dallas, that is the world famous Southfork Ranch and the TV. series 'Dallas'. The ranch has attracted millions of visitors ever since it became the homestead of the T.V. family, the Ewing clan. Its probably not quite the image you would imagine while driving up the long drive way.
First what you see is the Visitors Centre and the Convention centre and a carpark full of cars and tour buses.
You can see the actual homestead - a little smaller than you would have imagined going by the t.v. series - by driving further on down the road from the main visitors entrance. To view the homestead you actually have to take a tour from the Visitors Centre.
There are several items of memorabilia you can recognise from the series including Lucy's wedding dress and Jock's Lincoln Continental. A guided tram tour drives you around the ranch grounds and stops at Miss Ellie's Deli and shop. I had just missed one tour and I wasn't that much of a fan. Just seeing the Ranch was enough for me.
Located just 10 minutes from the Plano Centre, Southfork is open daily.
