Not Top 10 but good enough and close

I'm a native Texas boy, home grown and have family all across the state.
Hell, I went to school in Dallas... the "well known" one...take a guess where?
And while I cherish my time in Dallas and education, there are better cities in the country.
I do however miss Uptown Dallas and Knox-Henderson... Especially as those are both so close to each other and urban/walkable lol. But compared to other cities in the country, it's not anything "special" lol.
I miss the suburbs and have many, many, MANY very very CLOSE ties in the North Dallas suburbs.
People who complain about Dallas don't realize that it's a city that is "big enough" to where you will have all the big city amenities that you want. But it's not like "first/top tier" in the country. But it's 'good enough'.
Listen, it could be worse... and I would know lol. I've lived in much worse lol
But that shouldn't discourage one from coming to Dallas. I just wouldn't make it my top/first choice.
The main negatives would be that:
- it's VERY, VERY pretentious (this is true lol)
- it's urban, but not 'as urban' as other cities in the country...so you have MUCH BETTER options. I wouldn't turn down going to LA/NYC/Chicago for Dallas as an example... That would be VERY stupid as an example lol.
- BRUTALLY hot, HOT summers... I don't miss those Dallas summers (especially July - September)
4 stars... I can't give it 5... although I have many, many friends back home in Dallas it doesn't deserve a top star rating.
