Dallas: A Bustling Southern Metropolis

Nicknamed the “Big D” because of its population of over 1.2 million, Dallas is the largest metropolitan city in the South. Located in North Texas with connections to four major highways, Dallas is a major inland port. It is also the home of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, the third busiest airport in the world. If you are interested in launching or growing your career, you will be pleased to know that Dallas is the home to 21 Fortune 500 companies including Exxon Mobil, AT&T, American Airlines, and Southwest Airlines. For those who love the outdoors, the city maintains and operates 406 parks that include 17 lakes, over 61 miles of trails, and six golf courses. If its culture you crave, Dallas has the largest arts district in the United States and is home to the best museums, festivals, performance halls, and exhibitions. Sports fans enjoy five major sports teams including the Dallas Cowboys and the Dallas Mavericks. All of these conveniences make it simple to discern why so many people are proud to be Dallasites.
