re: Dallas or Houston?

lol ... afraid to leave the woodlands because the rest of the city is dirty ... bet you have fun walking around all those shops along that 'waterfront' ...

houston has a good bit more 'happening' scenes than dallas, though it also has just as many overpriced bars/nightlife with the same generic crowd as dallas ... neither city is a 'vacation' destination, outside of the games you want to see ... i've never been to fort worth, but i've always heard it's a much better place to visit than dallas (it's a good bit smaller) ... the one advantage houston might have, football wise, is as others have said - the light rail from downtown to the stadium ... passes through midtown (lots of bars/nightlife/restaurants) ...
