I left Dallas 3 years ago for the arid plains of West texas, and I absolutely love it here. But-all my friends and family are in Dallas, so we go back frequently (or we will after the Bar exam...). I don't want to go back to live b/c the humidity wreaks havoc on my allergies, and the traffic is horrid (I used to spend 2 hours a day in the car making a 40 mile round-trip commute to the office). GRRR. ON the weekends, I could get to my office in 15 minutes!
Lemme know if you want the scoop on the suburbs (few people live in Dallas proper--at least those with kids tend to stay out of the city). I had tihs conversation w/Crystal (a Surfing Sister who recently moved to Plano...one of the suburbs) a few months ago...she seems happy to be there.
DZ alum chapters abound--there are 4 active chapters: Plano-Collin County, Dallas, Arlington and Lewsiville-Lake Cities. Plano & Arlington are probably the most active. Closest collegiate chapter is in Arlington @ UTA.
Hope the job opp is a good one! YOu will definitely not be alone if you head to Big-D, DZs & GC'ers are everywhere...and you will never want for anything to do. Keep us informed!
