Dallas "too urban?" I disagree. Anybody who's ever been to a real urban city (Chicago, Seattle, NYC, etc) will think Dallas looks like an overgrown suburb. Asserting Dallas has great year-round weather is also not true. June-September and January-February are awful. In the middle of summer it's not uncommon for the temperature to still be around 90 degrees at 10pm, and winters are often blustery and chilly, but they lack real winter precipitation. Instead of snow Dallas gets sleet and freezing rain, and when that happens people lose their minds and empty grocery store shelves like they're going to be trapped above the arctic circle for 3 months. The natural setting of the Metroplex is bad. It looks like Kansas with more trees. It's mostly flat with very little interesting scenery. People who want real outdoor recreation can expect to travel well over a hundred miles to get to somewhere with camping, hiking, etc. that don't completely suck.
