Dallas is money and power and big portions and there is no center, what there is is a lot of space and wide roads and none of them goes to the city center because it doesn't exist.
But there is a new hotel which is very interesting. They claim that they wanted to mix Donatella Versace with George Clooney and see what could possibly happen. Despite the slightly stupid declaration of intents, the hotel tourned out nice. It is called Z Hotel (perhaps the suggestion here is that is the next step after the W Hotel). I slept with Ray Charles.
The good thing is that they make clear at the entrance that you can't enter the hotel with a gun in your pocket, which is something that makes you feel safer. At the same time, the fact that they felt obliged to establish that rule makes you feel that a lot of people in Dallas, Texas must be walking around with guns in their pocket so you feel safe in the hotel but not so safe outside of it.
The hotel has this ethnic-eclectic mix that is considerably in fashion nowadays and there was this Chinese corner on my floor
and that Chinese corner created a Pavlovian effect on me so one minute later I was enjoying my fried dim-sum, and two minutes later I was on another plane.

Oh this is hilarious. It's always fun to have a fresh pair of eyes remind us of Texas's ridiculous-ness if not frightfulness (Charless Whitman that shot 12 people from the University of Texas tower, the rescue of the children from the polyamous camp, the President himself).
