Great info Mike!  Being a Dallas native (transplanted in Houston), I can attest to these being great cities to live in!  I also love the cities of McKinney, Frisco, Plano, and North Dallas/Addison (DNT from Beltline to the Bush tollway).

Happy Holidays!!

Mike, 

Thats a great summary of some of the areas Dallas has to offer. I remember being a kid and shopping in 'uptown' for Christmas gifts. Some of the homes were simply amazing!
