Dallas County Reviews
Rating 4.25 out of 5 378 reviews
Though my time at Dallas County is pretty short, I remember having good times with my family. I used to go to church every Saturday when I was young Dallas County is pretty big and so much was going on, but going to church was probably the most prominent church I've visited. Outside of religion, there are many places to go, there are colleges and libraries where students or anyone to go get their degrees or put time into reading. Pretty unique restaurant in the middle of the county, I love the Italian restaurant though it's rare for me to come by the place. There are food trucks in Dallas County Park that are delicious to try. There is an Art Museum that anyone can visit and even for students for field trips. For any architecture, is a variety of old and new buildings but have a few unique ones, the Reunion tower, for having a sphere structure, builing that lightup at night even on holidays, the Courthouse, and the JFK assassination site.
I moved from a very small hometown to Dallas. I love living here because there are so many nearby restaurants, there are so many family activities, new places for adventures. Beautiful roof top restaurants. These restaurants and downtown have been my favorite. There are homeless people around that make it a little uncomfortable and make you feel un secure. It's sad to see a lot of homeless, some don't bother at all and others are very demanding.
I greatly appreciate the limitless activities and diversity in Dallas County. One weekend, I can swim at the lake while bike-riding in a nearby mountain range. From swimming pools, to arcades, to movies, to ice skating, the possibilities are endless. Additionally, there are tremendous amounts of resources available 24/7 ranging from education, hobbies, volunteering, jobs, growth and development, transportation, religion, and businesses. The communities continue to grow and in a time such as now, where many people are losing opportunities, Dallas county continues to exponentially grow.
