Review of Dallas, Texas


Dallas never felt like home
Star Rating - 5/25/2018
I moved to Dallas because of the variety of work and higher salaries than I experienced in Denver. Dallas gave me many firsts:

After an interview with a recruiter, she asked me to pile on make-up, because that's how it's done in Texas. (Whereas in CO, I was told I wore too much make-up. smh)

Had my car totaled from a brutal hail storm.

Feared for my life getting on/traveling all freeways. Worse drivers than Los Angeles. Horrible traffic.

Materialistic populace.

Had a doctor tell me I should pray for answers.

First date started quoting scripture from his favorite Sunday minister, although he told me he wasn't religious. Then told me I was going to hell for not believing in the bible.

Strip clubs let you bring your own alcohol, but you must pay for your own ice buckets. Uh, ok.

Company I worked for went out of business and then when I went to collect unemployment, they claimed I the company I worked for never existed?!!

Toll roads.

Living in the south sucks. This place never grew on me and I bailed after a year.

These sound like personal issues not necessarily anything to do with the city itself. I recommend therapy based on your encounters working for a company that didn't exist and visiting strip clubs. Good day
