From the landmark neon Pegasus erected in 1934 atop the "Magnolia Oil" building (Mobil Oil) to the Broadway musical song "Big D, little a, double L, A-S", exuberance may be the most defining word to describe Dallas, Texas. The Pegasus, our "Flying Red Horse" was recently restored and greeted the new Millennium along with the dazzling lights of the Dallas skyline as the unique signature of a unique city, Dallas, Texas, USA!

Sky's the new limit for urban living in Texas, and beyond - This is the largest state in the contiguous USA, stretching more than 700 miles from east to west and north to south, and space often seems infinite. Here, living large — and spread out — hasn't been just a choice but almost a birthright. What changed? Gas prices soared. Traffic congestion choked highways. Air quality worsened and so did pressure from environmental regulators. Light-rail lines came online. And demographics shifted: As baby boomers became empty nesters, their desire for convenience and fun suddenly merged with those of young professionals. Both groups are flocking to urban settings.
