Dallas is a major city in the state of Texas and is the largest urban center of the fourth most populous metropolitan area in the United States. The city proper ranks ninth in the U.S. and third in Texas after Houston and San Antonio.[8][9] The city's prominence arose from its historical importance as a center for the oil and cotton industries, and its position along numerous railroad lines.
Neighborhoods
Central Dallas is anchored by Downtown, the center of the city, along with Oak Lawn and Uptown, areas characterized by dense retail, restaurants, and nightlife. Downtown Dallas has a variety of named districts, including the West End Historic District, the Arts District, the Main Street District, Farmers Market District, the City Center business district, the Convention Center District, and the Reunion District.
Economy
The city's economy is primarily based on banking, commerce, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare and medical research, and transportation and logistics. The city is home to the third-largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in the nation (behind New York City and Houston).
In 2007-08, Comerica Bank and AT&T located their headquarters in Dallas. Additional Fortune 500 companies headquartered in Dallas include Energy Transfer Equity, HollyFrontier, Southwest Airlines, Tenet Healthcare, Texas Instruments, Dean Foods, Trinity Industries, and Energy Future Holdings. Irving is home to 6 Fortune 500 companies of its own, including ExxonMobil, the most profitable company in the world and the second largest by revenue for 2015,[90] Kimberly-Clark, Fluor (engineering), Commercial Metals, Celanese, and Pioneer Natural Resources.[90] Additional companies headquartered in the Metroplex include American Airlines, Regency Energy Partners, Atmos Energy, Neiman Marcus, 7-Eleven, Brinker International, Primoris Services, Radio Shack, D.R. Horton, AMS Pictures, id Software, ENSCO Offshore Drilling, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Chuck E. Cheese's, Zales and Fossil.
According to Forbes magazine's annual list of "The Richest People in America" published September 21, 2011, the city itself is now home to 17 billionaires, up from 14 in 2009. In 2009 (with 14 billionaires) the city placed 6th worldwide among cities with the most billionaires.[94][95] The ranking does not even take into account the 8 billionaires who live in the neighboring city of Fort Worth.
Dallas is currently the third most popular destination for business travel in the United States, and the Dallas Convention Center is one of the largest and busiest convention centers in the country, at over 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m2), and the world's single-largest column-free exhibit hall.
Events
The most notable event held in Dallas is the State Fair of Texas, which has been held annually at Fair Park since 1886. The fair is a massive event, bringing in an estimated $350 million to the city's economy annually. The Red River Shootout, which pits the University of Texas at Austin against The University of Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl also brings significant crowds to the city. The city also hosts the State Fair Classic and Heart of Dallas Bowl at the Cotton Bowl.
Sports
The Dallas metropolitan area is home to six major league sports teams: the Dallas Cowboys (National Football League), Dallas Mavericks (National Basketball Association), Texas Rangers (Major League Baseball), Dallas Stars (National Hockey League), FC Dallas (Major League Soccer), and Dallas Wings (Women's National Basketball Association).
The Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League play in nearby Arlington, Texas. Since joining the league as an expansion team in 1960, the Cowboys have enjoyed substantial success, advancing to eight Super Bowls and winning five; according to profootballreference.com, as of the end of the 2009 season they were the winningest active NFL franchise. Known widely as "America's Team", the Dallas Cowboys are financially the most valuable sports 'franchise' in the United States, worth approximately 1.5 billion dollars.[122] In 2009, the Cowboys relocated to their new 80,000-seat stadium in Arlington, which was the site of Super Bowl XLV.
The Dallas Mavericks play at the American Airlines Center. They won their first National Basketball Association championship in 2011 led by Dirk Nowitzki.

Thanks for watching,

Hello, well first let me thank you for all the videos, secondly I have some reccomendations for you, pls start your video from Distant Freeway showing us the Skyline of the city, then gradually sliding into downtown. that would be more interesting to watch I guarantee.
Yah the city is so vibrant and friendly. So many tourists. It is a world class. I am dying to visit it. Umm, what is it famous for??
Thank you for all the videos，I want to see Melbourne driving vlog.
Austin texas
Live please,J Utah!
Not too many people from out of town know about this but Dallas has a pedestrian underground system that connects all the buildings in downtown Dallas with air condition tunnels and a lot of people that work in downtown use them to go from place to place. There are restaurants stores and all kinds of entertainment underground. You can look it up in the Internet I think it’s called the Dallas pedestrian underground tunnels.
Tulsa has something like that, but it’s now a tourist attraction
I loved driving in Dallas. It was crazy and fun. I especially loved the morning traffic and then driving at night when the city was lit up
Dallas is HUGE
bih kat I Know I live down there
yeah its fucking HUGE
YEA THATS HUGE
BIG PLACE YOU CAN CALL THAT HUGE
Ft Worth, TX too
This Is Dallas Before The Pandemic And Before The New People Movin Down In My City!!! It Was Lovely~
I born in Brasil, but i live in Dallas . Very Good city , i love Dallas ✌😍
Thank you so much for making this video, you made my night
I think people fail to realize that Dallas is hot as shit during the summer time. Dallas is one of the hottest cities in America during the summer. Hardly, any one wants to be outside during that time. When it’s cooler people venture outside. No one wants to deal with temperatures over 100 degrees with high humidity. I’m from Dallas and most people stay inside.
Same here in the north-east during the winter. Too cold to be outside.
Come to Chicago loop in freezing cold winters and you will spot more people.
halfvolley11 Chicago is built completely different. Secondly, people in Chicago can layer up. There’s not much you can do when the temp is 102F with a heat index of 115F. People would much rather be inside than burn to death. The pool is only going to do so much. BTW this is consistent heat...not a little heat wave that midwestern cities get. The normal high temp is 97F in August. That does not include the average 18 triple digit days we see each year. Until you’ve experienced 100F degree temps at night...you probably wouldn’t understand.
My biggest dream live in U.S 🇱🇷,Dallas from Bangladesh
,🇧🇩lots of love for US
It’s really affordable. Good luck! 🍀
Me too im from Iran i know one day i live in usa 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
I understand that Dallas is a sprawling city but man is it STRANGE to see the Downtown of the 4th largest metropolitan area in American be so DEAD.
Frederick0220 Have you ever been to that downtown, there's parts of it that I think are pretty creepy.
They are just spread out. You would be surprised all the people there are really.
Shannonm75 DFW ain’t that big and Houston Atlanta is big
Yea I just moved out of Dallas it amazed me too on how dead downtown really is.
@@dmobibj1401 Dallas is more than 3 times bigger than Atlanta in population so idk what you're taking about.
As a guy who lives in a medium sized sunbelt city with nothing but crackheads and drug dealers downtown, this seems like a good downtown to me and i don’t understand why people are complaining about it....
Thanks for this, am a new driver living in dallas County and this helps me a lot to familiarize myself with how to drive around here
Just a tiny glimpse of an enormous american city ...and a pleasant Sunday drive. Thanks!
Sunday morning in Dallas.
Rick Mansur sir you are from where??
@Robert Gardea I wish
Very nice video. You can check out cost effective hotel in Texas, US- enjoy the video - th-cam.com/video/szwRDg2FqkE/w-d-xo.html
impressive video of this city! Dallas is on my bucket list this year!
Highly recommend - Enjoy your trip :)
try Toronto you won't regret
@@jutah My cousin moved to Dallas from D.C. He loves Dallas. I always wanted to visit Dallas, Tx. I wouldn't mind checking out Houston, either? Which one do you prefer?
Don't be out at night tho
@@wilburmcbride8096 houston is beautiful af, but them tornadoes and hurricanes crazy over there. Dallas has lower chances compared to houston
Really, I discover USA cities with your videos!
Thank you for sharing. I love Dallas ❤️
So beautiful,I feel im driving in Dallas!
These video's give you an idea of the awesome size of America.
This is nice with no crowds of people walking around and notice the streets are clean. I'm a native Brooklyn New Yorker and I avoid Manhattan as much as possible, even some places in Brooklyn are horrible, it's dirty and grimy and expensive, go figure. There is nothing worse than hoards of people mindlessly walking all over everywhere, I like space. Mass of people = garbage everywhere.
Northern Lights Im from Queens.Brooklyn has became significantly better than what it used to be due to gentrification. Downtown Dallas looks like Manhattan with no people
Abu Faisal trust me, Dallas may look lonely, but the traffic 😡
@@osananajimi9031 hahaha lmao..The veritable texas traffic
Nice video! There's another video on TH-cam that I encourage others to watch, downtown Dallas in 1939. Being a Dallas local born and raised, I was surprised to see the downtown look like NY with so many people and very bustling!
You would have to know Dallas history as to answer your questions about the downtown area perceived as "empty"
Like most major cities, in the earliest days of their forming, Dallas included- everything all businesses homes etc were located in the central city downtown. Also not as many people had cars at the time, as most highways were nonexistent then, and the railroad played a pivot role in early Dallas history. Overtime, post world war 2 and with the baby boom, as more and more families finally began to purchase family single homes, with yards driveways, nearby shopping centers and schools(starting the suburbanization process in the actual "city" then) further away from the central core, but still within the city limits. Also now more and more people had cars and when the highways were built to accommodate all these new drivers, and then when more and more middle class left the city over the decades for the suburbs, that led to an overall decline of Dallas and downtown as well, since most of the businesses moved to the suburbs. Downtown Dallas experienced substantial: banking, building, and real estate during the late 1970s-mid late 80s, as that's when most of our prominent and recognizable skyscrapers were built- my personal favorites:Reunion tower(The Ball, The Bank of America Plaza(green building), Fountain place, and the Renaissance Tower.
The BOA plaza and Fountain Place both initially had twin towers planned. Sadly, not long after the 1980s wave of skyscraper development, all the businesses went under, went thru several mergers, closings, etc and that halted any new development prior to the year 2000, around the time they built the American Airlines center. The 1990s Downtown was nothing but a bunch of empty parking lots/buildings, gov workers during the day and a lot of rift/raft at night. I read somewhere that the 1990s skyline represented "the tombstome of Dallas", since so many were in the banking, finance, and real estate industry, who recalled the recalled the 1980s Dallas prosperity. Honestly, the development of present Uptown(immediately north of downtown) is really where all the activity picked up, and was largely ignored downtown during that same time. With the exception of City Place Tower in uptown, which also went under like those downtown, Throughout most of 1980s-1990s, uptown was NOTHING as it's compared to today with all the development it's gotten since 2000.
Now, finally, downtown IS back on the rebound. 💯
the best video so far :)
Just watched your video of Downtown Dallas. Thank you for recording it & posting it. I left the Dallas area 22 years this month - December, 1994. And then I was living out in Allen, Texas on a horse ranch, & right down the road from Southfork. It has changed a ton since I moved there in January of 1977. I can't get over how there are no shopping places like Sanger-Harris, Titches, Neiman Marcus. I think I located the building I work in - LTV Tower(Webber, Hall, & Caudle. Also, worked at Price Waterhouse. But, I don't see the Mercantile Building, (Raucheer Pierce, Refsnes) anymore. Didn't a building go in with the name Avenue of the Americas? There were places to eat downtown when we girls would go out at lunchtime but, really can't tell where there are any now, hardly. The West-In as it is called now, I remember eating at the Spaghetti Warehouse. Wasn't there a school of some kind down in the area. Isn't the Addison area near that? I can't seem to remember. Not. use to seeing Woodall Rogers road. There are so many newer & taller buildings now, & just doesn't seem user-friendly now.
Always nice to hear the history from a previous resident :) Dallas is a unique city and the comments on this video are interesting to follow. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you, J Utah. Yes, I did write this a year ago. I was looking at it again today & still don't seem to know much about the newly designed Dallas!
Minőségi videó egy igazi amerikai városról! Köszönöm!
Thank you for the videos. It help give me an idea of somewhere. A real feeling to it besides getting information from Google. Much appreciated.
Hello pretty. How are you doing today, you caught my attention I must confess. ..
great video but to all the cynics, j utah mostly showed only central downtown. However, uptown, deep vellum, design district, the cedars and the southside had limited coverage. these are more walkable than the center. central downtown dallas wasn't built in the 20s, 30s, and 40s, like the eastern US. it was mostly constructed in the 80s around big oil and finance. these buildings didn't allow for lower level retail. soon however with the revitalization of old corporate headquarters, there will be tom thumbs, parks retail, and walkability. also dallas will soon experiment in having the first connected systems downtown; systems like electronic waste management big data traffic analysis, and big data crowd analysis to help understand peoples interactions with the city. dallas has gotten a lot better and will continue to improve
Thanks Chris! You know the city well and have great points :) Thanks for sharing them!
There are plenty of buildings that were built in the 90s and later that aren't any better! The central part of the city pretends that pedestrians don't exist. There is nothing on the street level to interest the eyes. Way too many blank expanses of wall and parking garages.
You go inside these office buildings and the interiors are usually gorgeous. The outside environment is one big disappointment, and that's why almost no one living in Dallas says, "Let's go spend the day downtown!" You go there for the symphony or the museum, and then you drive home. You don't walk around looking for anything of interest, because you'd have to walk for blocks to find it.
There would have to be massive reconfiguration to make anyone want to spend time there.
The comment about downtown not being built in the 20's or 30's is not accurate. There is historical color film footage of downtown Dallas life in 1939, taken by a Dallas Times Herald photographer. It shows central downtown Dallas to be a bustling place, with people everywhere, sidewalks packed with pedestrians, streets jammed with traffic. Back then, downtown was where everything in Dallas was; shopping, movie theaters, restaurants. Outside of downtown were residential areas, and no malls or other shopping centers. Wynnewood center, one of the oldest shopping centers, wasn't built until 1949.
And you didn’t even go to deep Ellem.??? The design district.?????
how did you do the what kind of camera did you use and how did you control record and stop record?
Awesome thank you so much indeed
Clean city I definitely will visit 👍
Thank you. Espectacular para mi turismo virtual. He visto todo el video checkeando con google maps y los lugares interesantes con street view
You should make more videos Of Texas. They are my favorites. The sunshine, the old trucks... I recommend you to make one in a Texas town
Jesus Christ, the Big D is a veritable ghost town. So surreal.
Frederick0220 Everybody is in Houston, including Dallasites LOL!
@@joemartin1253 LMAO dallas has more people than houston. the reason it seems so "dead" is because this was filmed in august midday the hottest time of the year. mind you this was most likely a week day because on a saturday the downtown dallas area is sprawling with people
Downtown Dallas isn't as vibrant as downtown LA or Chicago.
@@mq827 Houston has more people than Dallas.
@@melroze Wrong. Dallas already passed Houston to become the 4th largest metro in America. People always talk without knowing facts. 😭
soo cool thnx man
Very nice example! Camera looks great as well.
Starbucks spotted - zero
Interesting observation - Cant say that about many places in the US!
Yet they're all over Dallas. This vid doesn't represent the whole city.
i feel you dude but you don't have to respond to these people. let them draw there conclusions wherever else they are in america
Yeah I drove all over when I was there and I only saw Starbucks when I went to the mall
Starbucks is every where is dallas.
I love Dallas and we both have family their just left the city in Christmas and hoping to be back doing the summer
Very nice video. What camera are you using? So stable and clear. Please share ..
We have more fun things to do than just walk around downtown.
ya but car culture is gross it destroyed LA. A city should be for its people, not cars.
Actually that should be one of the main things you do in a new city is walk around. Downtown Dallas sucks.
I'm finding this very useful . in Australia we drive on the other side of the road so it's good to see how the traffic works before I get there.
Geeze..I'm from USA..driving in Dallas, period, is terrifying enough.. they joke about it at Six Flags and point it out as the most dangerous ride.
@@hollythomason1094 I think those idiots took their driver's test at SixFlags.
Very good vid.
I Love America ❤❤❤
which country u live in?
what country u live in ?
I love ❤️ America
Texas is not USA
me too
I Was there last july and it was hot. Most people avoid the heat and stay inside. Fort Worth Stockyards is a cool place to visit. Take the Trinity Railway from Dallas Union Station.
I LIKE THE VIDEO AND I LOVE DALLAS
J Utah
I know it's asking alot but you should do a rush hour version of all these downtown videos to satisfy all the people asking and complaining about lack of people and traffic.
Thanks for the feedback! Will most definitely consider it : )
J Utah that’s actually a really good idea
I love it
Nice Video.👍
It is quite deserted...This has to be on a Saturday or Sunday morning.
Downtown Dallas looks very much like Calgary's Downtown (in Summertime).
Dallas has such a spread out CBD it's crazy. It's so quiet. Nothing like New Orleans, where I live, which is like NYC in comparison in spite if being 1/7th the size of D-Town!
wow! Dallas is a bad ass city
Na they suck at titanfall 2 , i rek them easy from nz lol , they must be all methed out or something
Forest almo wassup my fellow kiwi
46frantz More like Ass Bad LOL!
Is it Sunday?Not too busy.
Well...At least it's nice and calm.😊
MY CITY!!!
My dream place
As filmagens foram feitas se modo muito bom e igual as filmas de Houston achei muito legal. A cidade de Dallas é bem limpa do jeito que gosto de ver as cidades. Que Dallas bonita.
As filmagens foram feitas de forma muito legal. E filmou parecido com as de Houston. A cidade de Dallas é bem limpa. A Dallas de hoje é linda.
By 11 minutes of the video, there were 3 Honda s2000!!!
2:52 Boss Hogg's Golf cart, the horns on the front gave it away, he had the same thing on his white Caddie
Beautiful Country USA
Еххххх старий добрий 2016й рік. Куди же ти від нас втік. Найлюбимішій мій. А так жякую за покатушки і за ностальгію
Nice
everything is bigger in TX
;)
Love USA
dallas museum of art is good if anybody visiting dallas.
Patel Vidhu It's boring , Everyone should go to the Dallas world aquarium.
I went there it was awesome!
To all the people saying Dallas is empty - DFW (Real Dallas) is large af and has just about 7 million people exact same with Houston. Crowded downtown dosent equal high pop
17:25 that building on the right (UNT law center) is STILL under construction!!
It will get crowded as soon as everyone gets off work or on the weekends im assuming.
This video is old, it's way more bustling now. Especially when it's nice out.
nice skyline architect
Enjoy your videos, hope to visit these cities some time!! One thing I've noticed, other than New York, American cities seem to be void of pedestrians! Reflects the car culture you have there. Here in Australia, we have a strong car culture too, but our downtown areas are much more lively with people
Yup. American cities are very car-centric. There's a new trend now to build more walkable cities/neighborhoods, new urbanism etc. Americans are getting so tired of driving everywhere and being stuck in traffic that they are starting to walk more. But it's a long way to go until we can ditch our cars and walk everywhere. The best cities where you can have a relatively comfortable lifestyle without a car in the US are NYC, DC, Philly, SF, Chicago, Seattle, and Portland. Everywhere else you need a car.
Portland is tiny and insignificant, you cant enjoy urban living there like you can in Chicago.
You forgot Boston and Oakland
Dallas is fucking hot in the summer...hot like Hell. Out of all cities in the U.S. New Orleans is the most unique city in the country with some European feel to it and very lively. My favorite city still Chicago.
gde1989 It's fucking 115 degrees out there and it's a fucking huge city
Nice nice
My dream city
A little background music was gonna be cool with this.👍👍
I stay in dallas and this is a Sunday morning, he passed the church house and the parking lot was full. Let this had been any other day like a Monday. Non stop people + traffic
Figured it must be a Sunday. Streets are very quiet
would love to see a vid of irving tx :)
Wow
All of you people complain, but I think this is great. I like in DC and it sucks to have so many people fit into a sardine can of a city. Dallas is my kind of place if its like this.
Is the sky always that beautiful ?
It kinda feels like I'm in driving simulator
That was interesting but brutal! So many parking lots but nowhere interesting for people to walk and so few sidewalk patios to enjoy a drink or a meal. I can't believe how unwalkable it is and how few people there are in the downtown core. The buildings give nothing back to the city and make the area seem inhospitable. I would see no reason to get out of the car, in that city!
All those ugly parking lots, man, that's a killer! Good work on the video though, I watched it all in horror! lol
All sunbelt cities are like this, they're the ugliest cities in America.
There are places to get out like the West Village, the arts district, and that new urban park that was built over Woodall Rogers Freeway.
I was there a few years ago and yes, it is like you say. The upside to this, though, (for a JFK buff) is that when I decided to walk down to Dealey Plaza on a sunny Sunday morning, I had the plaza all to myself ! It was EMPTY and rather eerie, as if time had frozen ... like a Twilight Zone episode ... Unforgettable !
I like it, don't have to deal with traffic congestion and being overcrowded.
***** Glad to hear that things are changing and becoming more pedestrian friendly!
Just got done watching the Atl drive through. I know that Dallas has a more populated combined* statistical metro population the Atlanta, but it just looks far smaller. The Atlanta Skyscrapers alone makes Dallas look like a secondary city..I personally think it's because Atlanta has a larger urban area.
It doesn't at all. This person just avoided it
Super country roads
There are very few pedestrians. Is there not much in terms of shopping in downtown Dallas?
what car is it that you drive in all of your videos?
Is sunday morning man ..
I miss u Dallas
perhaps you should have some cameras looking up to show how tall the buildings are
Everybody will be Uptown Dallas because it's more vibrant and busy. Going downtown is like a very quiet so u don't see a lot of people.
Driving in Dallas is a walk in the park without annoying taxis. But try DC driving is a pain in the ass with the Biggest Traffic Congestion in the USA and those red taxis lol and yes yes yes even on Sunday Mornings.
when are we going to see the hamptons NY ? ( south , west , est .....)
Big downtown,although the streets look pretty worn out,can barely see the markings.
Downtown Dallas be live on the weekends especially in deep Ellum and Main Street. I'm Dallas native but I often the street lights in downtown always throw me off
fantôme city
the USA seems like another world
If this was shot on a summer afternoon, I'd say it looks empty because it's too hot to go outside. Lots of people use the tunnel and bridge system that connects a lot of the downtown buildings so you can avoid going out in the heat. Also, downtown Dallas is mostly a business center so people are in their offices, not out on the sidewalk. It gets pretty dead downtown after 6 when everyone's gone home.
31:20--the infamous Dallas Book Depository on the right. If you'd continued straight instead of turning left you'd have followed the Kennedy motorcade route to its completion.
Thanks Jude - The discussion of people on the streets is common on some of the Texas videos. Thanks for the input!
Montevideo Uruguay 🇺🇾
0:20 The person making a left turn onto Griffin St. needed to yield to oncoming traffic. I guess he was in a hurry!
JFK assassination buffs can fast forward to 31:15 ! ;) (Unfortunately, our driver is NOT one, otherwise he would have gone straight ahead on Elm street for our enjoyment ;)
TRINZIN I
Where's the grassy knoll
I love Texas lol.😂😁😁😀😋😋😋😋😍😘😍😘🤗🤗🤗🙂☺
Cheers!
j utah do one for charlotte north carolina in 2017 and the south park area of charlotte let me know when gone do one in charlotte
9:11 no sign saying you can turn left? Can't that get confusing?
👌
Viva texas
Damn in the US everything is big, buildings, road space, cars, even the signals. The style is like the 2000s era and at the same time recent. They live in a complet different world. But im just wooooow amazed with those giants buildings. damn i wanna visit USA
What country are you from?
