Dallas

Dallas sizzles as a busy centre of business and finance, with a deep interest in sports as well as western culture. Central Dallas is littered with skyscrapers and neon lights.
The city is famous for being witness to President Kennedy's assassination in 1963, and being the host of the Dallas TV serial and the Cowboys football team. Deep Ellum is the old warehouse district, made famous by its music in the 1920s. It is now the fashionable place to go, with galleries, trendy clothes stores, cafés and clubs.

Shopping is a luxurious experience in the Neiman Marcus Department Store on Main St.

Southfork Ranch
25 miles out of town, at Parker, is the television home of the fictional Ewing clan. It has been kitted out as a mini-theme park, with a museum where tourists can have their photograph taken in a cowboy hat at JR's desk.
