About Dallas
When most people think of Dallas, they think of amazing barbeque, humidity, the famous TV show by the same name, and the Dallas Cowboys. This would be discounting its huge industrial and financial clout as well as the amazing architecture and trendy art neighborhoods within the city. While oil and cotton were once at the core of Dallas, it's now considered a great place to go see art and museums...and hopefully for seeing some great singers when there for the Season Seven American Idol auditions!

Transportation
The primary mode of local transportation in Dallas is the car, although efforts have been made to increase the availability of alternative modes of getting places. The interstates 20, 30, 35E, and 45 all run through the city. Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) provides buses, a rail system, and HOV lanes. DART began operating the first light rail system in the Southwest U.S in 1996.
