5.0 out of 5 stars In Gomer Pyle style, Surprise, Surprise, Surprise, January 28, 2001

Wow. I've been in Dallas/Irving area fifty years (since 6 mo. old) and when I picked up this book to take a look, I was amazed at all the places to go I didn't know about! I bought a copy and have enjoyed browsing its offerings! What a great gift for anyone new to the area. What am I talking about? I'm not new! It'll make a great gift - period! A must though for newcomers - hey, real estate people, what an idea for new home buyers coming into the area! And there's so many different great tid bits of info. Thanks to the author for all her work making the Metroplex a breeze to enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Right in my own backyard, January 23, 2001

By	Eclectico (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews

I picked this book up as a gift for a client who was staying a week in Dallas and had never been to Texas before. He went through the book and picked places he wanted to go, and apparently had a grand time, because he still raves about his trip.

As I didn't get the book back, I had to purchase another copy and was surprised to see how many interesting places there are in the Metroplex that even I didn't know about (and I've lived here for nearly forever.) I've since recommended this book to my company for future visiting clients and trainees.

Great source of information, excellent organization and primo insight on "must sees".

I didn't look closely enough when I purchased the book. It's pretty old to be using as a guide for going to DFW today. But overall, informative.
