Dallas, the newest synonym for Hell

Well, after being here for over a week, I can officially call Dallas Hell. The people here are fairly rude and when they are being friendly, you can tell that it's fake. Dallas is just one big strip mall. Anyone who believes that the cuisine here is great is kiddin themselves. Every "restaurant" here is part of a mega-chain business. If I wanted to eat frozen food, then I would just go to the frozen section of one of the many, many, many Wal-Marts here. While at Wal-Mart picking up your frozen food, make sure to get some bottle water if there's any left on the shelf. Why no water on the shelf you ask? Well, the water in this drought-stricken hell tastes like roach spray. I have never seen so many chain-raunts before in my life. I'm used to eating at restaurants where the cook is actually a chef, not some guy with a tall hat on. I've been to many other cities and they all had at least some culture or uniqueness. Maybe it's because I'm from southern Louisiana, but this place has absoulutely no culture. If you visit Chicago, New York City, New Orleans, Boston, etc., you know that you are in a place that is differnet than others. The architecture here is bland at best, and every single street and intersection looks the same. Maybe it's because most people here are pretty much "bumpkins" and have traveled very little outside of Texas if at all, but they have this feeling that Dallas is the greatest city in the U.S. This place is full of traffic filled roads, malls with the same stores in every one of them, and people who would probaly find great pleasure in sitting on their own thumbs!! I have never been to a place with absolutely no scenery. There's virtually no trees, the grass/hay is brown, and only a person with an affinity for the color "concrete grey" could possibly enjoy their surrondings. No matter what large city you visit, there's always the place you "have to visit". In Dallas, those places are the grassy knoll where Kennedy was assasinated and the Ranch where the t.v. series "Dallas" was filmed. That's it. Why anyone would choose this place as a vacation spot is beyond me. Even small towns that are little more than villages in Southern Louisiana have a history and culture. Well, sorry for my unintelligible rant here but I'm ready to go back to good ol' Southern Louisiana where the water doesn't taste like pesticide, and I have the choice of eating at a chain restaurant or a "real" restaurant.
