I live north of Dallas, don't think I would ever live in Dallas. Givin a choice to move to any city in the state (but had to stay in state) I would choose Austin, or rather I would choose a smaller city close to Austin where its still mostly country. That being said, living close to Dallas isn't bad. Lots to do there, if I was willing to get out. We have Dallas Museum of Arts, Dallas Natural History Museum, Dallas Aquarium, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Dallas Wind Symphony, Meyerson Symphony Center (which I have played a concert in - high school), Deep Ellum and Fair Park (have to google.) If I'm forgetting anything else awesome I'd have to be reminded. Dallas has a zoo, it is decidedly not awesome. I would suggest Tyler or Ft. Worth Zoo, don't know about any others.

To answer your question Sam, I don't doubt that Texans drink from glasses/shot glasses with advertising on 'em. I noticed a table in a fast food restaurant with ads on it, so I'm sure they're on the shot glasses to. That being said, I doubt Texas/Dallas is the only area that does so, advertising has seeped into all cracks of life. Its pretty fucking annoying. If that job doesn't work out for your friend, Dallas and Texas in general is doin pretty decent job-wise. There are also plenty of growing cities in the surrounding area that might need a newspaper woman. I'm sure y'all will welcome her back if need be.
