Get The Jump On Your 8/5 – 8/11 Plans.
Just the other day, we noticed our neighbor loading boxes into a moving truck.
“I'm sick of Dallas,” he let us know, “I'm heading back to Louisiana.”
It was a hard statement for us to wrap our heads around. There's such a wide variety of ways to occupy one's time here — and such a glut of it nearly every night of the week, too — that it's difficult to imagine being able to suddenly become sick of it.
Take this week, for instance. There are several places to dance, a number of some good shows to see, some interesting films to watch and quality foods and drinks to consume.
We're all over the map this week, Dallas. But we love you all the more for it.
