Living within the proximity of Dallas is clearly a smart decision – the heart of Dallas Fort Worth metroplex is full of arts, sports and leisure venues. After a peaceful week in Cedar Hill, take a trek into the hub of city life and enjoy these attractions:
1. Dallas Arts District
Dallas has a remarkable collection of art museums all together within a few blocks: Dallas Museum of Art, The Crow Collection, The Perot Museum and Nasher Sculpture Center. A great area to soak in the Dallas life.
2. Bishop Arts District
This is not your typical Dallas shopping center. Art galleries and locally owned restaurants line the streets along side with boutique art galleries.
3. Klyde Warren Park
One of the most recent development in the metroplex. A perfect destination that lets you experience a stroll in the park right in the busy downtown while grabbing a bite from a line of nearby food trucks or taking your furry friends to the dog park.
4. White Rock Lake
The lake is a must for enthusiastic kayakers, runners, biker or even lazy strollers. You also see family picnics, BBQ parties and also dog lovers there almost every day of the week.
5. Dallas Aboretum
This 66 acres of green with seasonal displays of beautiful flowers, trees and plants has always been the top outdoor attraction of DFW. They host art shows, concerts and outdoor festivals as well as permanent on-site dining options that are worth a visit or two.
6. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra is a world class group of performers delivering extraordinary experience to the metroplex audience at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. They play both classic and modern pieces.
7. Southern Methodist University
The Meadows Museum is housed right on this beautiful campus. Theatrical and art performances are frequently offered at a much lower price compared to other major performance halls. The George W. Bush Presidential Library is another must-see at this private university.
8. Cowboy Stadium
Whether you love the Cowboys or not, it’s undeniable that this billion dollars stadium is a valuable Texas gem. Beautifully designed and masterfully planned, the stadium also houses local and regional football conferences.
9. Rangers Ball Park
Even in the scorching Texas summer heat, Ranger fans still can’t get enough of stadium food and definitely never tire from catching foul balls . If you want a more exclusive experience, book one of their 126 luxury suites.
10. Americas Airlines Center
Home to the Mavs and the Dallas Stars, American AIrlines Center regularly hosts several concerts and performances from famed artists including Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Pink, and Rihanna.

Are you watching the game today? Yu Darvish is on a roll, but several fans are concerned with the blister on his right hand. Last Sunday during the 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels, Yu was replaced after 85 pitches for this minor injury. Apparently, he confirms to be completely fine and ready for the Mariners today.
Not wanting to be short on their rotation, Washington is trying hard to keep his team in stellar heath. If Yu’s lucky stride stops short, we are looking at Justin Grimm, Randy Wells, and Brad Mills. The team is hoping to get the injured Martin Perez and Colby Lewis back on next month.
On another note, Elvis Andrus signed on an 8-year extension recently. Stability is much needed for the team as Hamilton’s departure has unseated the majority of Ranger’s fan base.
What is your take on the Ranger’s performance so far? Let us know if you think they will come out on top this season.

When the horses leave the gates for Lone Star Park’s 17th spring thoroughbred racing season Thursday, racegoers and horsemen will see $11 million in improvements.
In January, the main one-mile dirt track was stripped to its limestone base and reconditioned with a mixture of sand, clay and cushioning. About $800,000 was spent to replace the track lighting system. And a new 17-by-60-feet infield screen was installed at the center of the racetrack.
During the summer, all of Lone Star’s buildings were repainted.
Inside the grandstand, the 1,200-seat Silks Dining Terraces was renovated with new furniture and paint. Racegoers can enjoy a new menu while watching one of the 300 flat screens, which replaced the small, older tableside TVs.

This St. Patrick’s Day, the Dallas/Fort Worth area has many food & entertainment options for you to enjoy. The Dallas St. Patrick’s Day Parade starts at 11 a.m. on Saturday 3/16, and is always a classic. Plus, this year marks the first parade with a new name and new attitude. Try The Dubliner on Lower Greenville for a traditional Irish pub with a front seat for all the parade action. Milo’s on Upper Greenville is also a great option because of their large porch. After the parade, walk to the Greenville Ave Block Party, which Snoop Dogg is headlining. Gates open at noon for the concert. Day of admission is $20.
If you’re looking for other options to listen to music while you drink your Guinness, The Gin Mill and Capitol Pub off Henderson both have DJs and Irish breakfast for most of the day. Check out their schedules below!
