[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] Ryan McReynolds was our Metroplex poster. I've never spent any appreciable time in Dallas or Austin, but I do have friends that have travelled there on occassion. I'll ask them and get back to you. Off the top of my head, I know that Dallas has a museum of arts and a museum or natural history. I've heard both of them are pretty good. There's the Dallas Symphony, but I don't know if their season has started, what they're performing, or how ridiculously expensive it is. Downtown Dallas has undergone a revitalization, so it may be worth it to wonder around there for a couple hours popping into shops and restaurants. Also, maybe you can catch a tour of all the spots in Dallas they filmed [i]Walker, Texas Ranger[/i]. The Mavericks are playing, but, again, I don't know their schedule or how ridiculously expensive a game would be. The area where JFK was assassinated is still there and undergoing a project to restore it to it's 1963 appearance. Austin is a college town, so there's a lot of stuff geared towards students. In particular, Sixth Street and Guadalupe Street near UT are hotspots for bars, restaurants, and live music. Austin is supposedly famous for its music, but I don't know of any venues off-hand. The Texas Legislature is in session, so it might be interesting (and humorous, according to Molly Ivins) to take a tour of the capitol building and see part of a session. If you pop over to UT, the tower has tours, so you can go up to the observation deck and see where Charles Whitman went crazy with deer rifles thirty years ago. Somewhere around there is a bridge that's a popular spot for watching bats. Also, on the north side is the Chuy's Tex-Mex restaurant that is famous for being the scene where the Bush daughters were busted for underage drinking and using fake IDs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
