I was in Dallas for a conference at the beginning of February. It was flat. It was brown. It actually made me miss West Virginia.

However, the hotel did have Pepsi products, so that made the stay less depressing.

It's hard to judge the city based on a hotel stay w/o an opportunity to get out & about...come back sometime when you can get out (but not during the summer...you won't like it for sure then). To be fair, although they've gotten rain in the last couple of weeks, North Texas is in the midst of a drought...but yeah, Dallas used to be the bottom of the ocean, so it's def. flat (millions of years ago).

But Pepsi products? [GOB Bluth] Come on! [/GOB Bluth] Can't stand Pepsi...ick.

So, I was having a conversation with a family member and they said that there is another mountain range in East Texas. Is there?

I've only been to a few cities...i know Midland and Odessa don't have any mountains, but I don't know if San Antonio or Dallas did when I went. I didn't remember.


I had said that El Paso was the only city with mountains (since we are at the tip of the Rocky Mountains). But is there another Mountain Range in the Eastern Part of Texas?

There is not a mountain range..........but there are definite plateaus and tall hills that were cut out by the ocean that covered it millions of years ago. It They are outside of Tyler towards Jacksonville. You can stop on the side of the road and find oceanic fossils in the sides of the cliffs.

But no, the only mountain ranges are in deep South West and West Texas.

There's the beautiful hill country around Austin! It's GORGEOUS here. :)

I'm telling ya, if THAT doesn't make you want to move to Texas- nothing will. :D

oh c'mon Linz. Those aren't postcard pictures. Austin isn't that nice. Only if you compare it to Lubbock


You've got a little lake. Some 10 foot hills, 3 or 4 10 story buildings and trees. Awww

Bobby, you KNOW Texas is way cooler than Cali. ;) You're just mean.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks so LOL Sorry Linz :)

-Rudey

Hey dude I like Austin too!

Thanks!!! :)

Linz, those pictures reminded me of something.

This one girl from I met in Memphis once (she was from mississippi) once told me that she wanted to live in Savannah Georgia because it was the most beautiful city ever. When I laughed out loud because I thought she was joking, she said " whhhhuuuuut...have you ever been there? It's by the wwaaaater, and it has MOUNTAINS. Beautiful rollinghills, where you can hike and stuff. Yall don't have that in California"


I wanted to smack her right then and there

See, there's the difference... I didn't say that ya'll don't have that in Cali. (That's just dumbass) I just said that Texas is better in my personal opinion. :D
