CLEVELAND (January 21, 2010) – In honor of Black History Month 2010, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has planned a month-long tribute entitled "Only the Strong Survive: The Sound of Philadelphia." This year marks the Rock Hall's 14th annual celebration of Black History Month.
In the late 1960s, a sound emerged out of Philadelphia that dominated the charts. Led by the legendary production team and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, and producer/arranger Thom Bell, Philly soul created a new sound for the 1970s. It synthesized the sweet harmonies of Fifties doo-wop and the gruff, gospel-inflected singing of Sixties soul into a new mix with soaring strings, a driving beat, and a message emphasizing the importance of community. Some of Philly's classic hits include "Love Train" by Rock Hall Inductees The O'Jays, Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs. Jones," The Three Degrees "When Will I See You Again" and Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes' "Wake Up Everybody."
Throughout the month, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame education department will offer a special Black History Month class entitled "The Music is the Message: The Sound of Philadelphia" as part of its interdisciplinary educational program, Rockin' the Schools. Students will explore the innovative sound of Philadelphia soul and the creativity and learn about tenacity of the African-American musicians and entrepreneurs that made "The Sound of Philadelphia" a musical phenomenon against the backdrop of social and political conditions in the 1970s.
**Unless otherwise noted, all events are free with a reservation. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 216.515.8426 to RSVP.
Additional events will be announced in the coming weeks.
The Rock Hall's 2010 Black History Month schedule of events:
Wednesday February 3, 7pm, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Foster Theater (4th Floor)
6:30 pm: Special Pre-Screening discussion with Executive Producer Kenard Gibbs
7:00 pm: Film Screening – SOUL TRAIN: THE HIPPEST TRIP IN AMERICA
From 1970—2006, Soul Train offered a window into African American music and culture, and its charismatic host, Don Cornelius, was the man responsible for a new era in African American expression. A trained journalist, Don created a media empire that provided an outlet for record labels and advertisers to reach a new generation of music fans. He was one of the first African Americans to own his own show. In 1974, "T.S.O.P. (The Sound of Philadelphia)," written and produced by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, became the show's theme song.
Soul Train: The Hippest Trip in America is narrated by Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard and features an original score by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson of The Roots. The documentary includes memorable performances and moments from the show, as well as behind-the-scene stories from the people who lived the "Soul Train" movement, including the cast, crew, and dancers. In addition, popular musicians (including Eddie Levert of The O'Jays and Sly Stone, in his first exclusive documentary interview in years), comics, and music industry executives (including Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff) will comment on growing up with the show and will share their stories of how "Soul Train" affected their own lives.
Monday February 8, 7pm, Baker Nord Center for the Humanities, Case Western Reserve University, Clark 309:

Jackson's book on Philly soul received the Association for Recorded Sound Collection's (ARSC) Award for Excellence in the Best History in Recorded Rock, Rhythm & Blues, or Soul category. The 1998 movie Mr. Rock And Roll, starring Judd Nelson as Alan Freed, was based on Jackson's Big Beat Heat.

Teachers Rock: Professional Development Series for K-12 Educators with Dr. Joke Bradt (MT-BC, LCAT), Temple University
Teachers Rock will feature Dr. Joke Bradt, a Board-certified music therapist and Assistant Director of The Arts and Quality of Life Research Center at Temple University. Dr. Bradt will share her experiences working with at-risk youth in inner-city Philadelphia through the "Hear Our Voices" songwriting program. Participants will learn how songwriting can help struggling students work through difficult situations while building basic and creative writing skills.
Teachers Rock is a professional development workshop series for K-12 level teachers and school administrators interested in integrating popular music into core-curriculum teaching. This monthly series is offered free of charge from 4:30 – 6 PM on the second Wednesday of most months. Each Teachers Rock session will spotlight a specific grade band or content area by exploring great moments in rock and roll history and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees who made those moments happen. Educators learn how to use appropriate arts-integrated activities and instructional methods and receive featured lessons and resources for use in their own classrooms.
Wednesday February 17, 7pm, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Foster Theater (4th Floor)
From Songwriters to Soundmen with Weldon McDougal III
Hailing from West Philadelphia, Weldon Arthur McDougal III has contributed to the musical evolution of the Sound of Philadelphia for over four decades. As a songwriter, recording artist, group bandleader and independent producer, he has helped shape and influence the creation and development of Philly sound since the early 1960s.
As a founding member and co-owner of the now legendary Harthon/Dynodynamics record labels alongside Luther Randolph and Johnny Stiles, Weldon produced diverse local Philly artists including Eddie Holman, Barbara Mason, the Volcanoes, Larry Clinton, Nella Dodds, Cindy Gibson, Herb Ward, and many others.
McDougal produced Barbara Mason's Philly classic Top 10 hit, "Yes, I'm Ready" which is one of the first examples of the sweet, lush orchestrated sound that came to be called Philly soul. In the 1970's, McDougal continued to produce while working nationally at Motown records.
McDougal will be interviewed in front of a live audience as part of the Museum's From Songwriters to Soundmen: The People Behind the Hits free educational series that gives audiences an inside look at aspects of the music business that are often concealed from view.
Friday February 19, 1pm, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Foster Theater (4th Floor)
An Afternoon with the Chi-Lites
The Chi-Lites will be interviewed in front of a live audience as part of the Museum's Legends Series, which offers audiences rare and unique access to important artists.
The Chi-Lites formed in Chicago in the early 1960s, a blend of two local doo wop groups. They signed with Brunswick records in 1968 and began to record a series of hit singles that featured the smooth vocals, string arrangements, and social messages that also characterized Philadelphia soul. They had eleven Top 10 R&B hits in the 1970s, including "Have You Seen Her," "Oh Girl," "Stoned Out of My Mind," "(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People" and "There Will Never Be Any Peace (Until God Is Seated at the Conference Table)." They were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2005.
Wednesday February 24, 7pm, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Foster Theater (4th Floor)

Rock and Roll Night School is a monthly series of educational, discussion-based night classes offered free of charge from 7 pm – 8:30 pm in the Museum's 4th floor theater. Dr. Lauren Onkey, Vice President of Education and Public Programming, and Jason Hanley, musicologist and Director of Education at the Rock Hall, will lead this month's class, which will focus on the legendary label, Philadelphia International Records.
Friday, February 26, 8 pm, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Main Stage
Live Performance by The Manhattans Featuring Gerald Alston & Blue Lovett
The Manhattans, an R&B vocal group who recorded many classic songs in the Philly Soul style, have achieved career longevity by adapting their style to fit changing times. In 2009, they celebrated their 45th anniversary.
Formed in the 1960s by Winfred "Blue" Lovett, Richard Taylor, Kenny Kelley, George "Smitty" Smith and Sonny Bivins the group had a string of hits on Carnival Records during the mid 1960s. When Smith became ill in 1970, Gerald Alston, whose style paid homage to the legendary Sam Cooke, took over as lead singer. More a pop singer than either Lovett or Smith, Alston's incorporation into the group enabled The Manhattans to break out of their mold as "doo-woppers" and achieve major national success on Starday/King Records with a Teddy Randazzo love song entitled "A Million To One." In 1972, Blue Lovett's "One Life To Live" reached the top 20 R&B charts. With Alston handling all lead vocals and Lovett providing smooth spoken introductions, The Manhattans moved to Columbia Records in 1973 where they collaborated with Philadelphia International producer and arranger Bobby Martin on a string of hits including "There's No Me Without You." The most notable of these was Blue Lovett's "Kiss And Say Goodbye," a platinum selling #1 pop and R&B hit in 1976. In that same year, The Manhattans teamed up once again with producer Randazzo to record "Feels So Good", "You're My Life" and "There's No Good In Goodbye". In 1977, they performed at President Jimmy Carter's Inaugural Ball and since then have received their share of platinum and gold singles, albums, and other industry kudos; most notably a 1980 Grammy for "Shining Star" written and produced by Leo Graham.
After 16 years with Columbia Records, lead singer Gerald Alston took his turn as a solo artist with Motown Records; while Blue Lovett, due to doctor's concerns regarding his health, decided to turn his attention towards producing and grooming new artists. The late 1980's found The Manhattans pursuing individual interests within the industry. In 1993, all that changed. With their 30th anniversary approaching in 1994, it was the perfect time to reunite. So, along with new members Troy May and David Tyson, a reunion tour was born. On February 25, 1999, The Manhattans were inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame.
Tickets are $10 each and go on sale at 10 a.m. on Monday, January 25, 2010. Tickets are available at the Museum box office, via phone through Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000, online at http://www.ticketmaster.com and at all Ticketmaster outlets.
In celebration of Black History Month each February the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum recognizes the extraordinary contributions that African-Americans have made to popular music. Since 1996, the Rock Hall's Black History Month events have included film screenings, lectures, intimate evenings of conversation, and performances by local and national groups such as Robert Lockwood, Jr., The Temptations, Charles Brown, Ruth Brown, Take 6, Al Green, the Ohio Players, Lloyd Price, and Little Anthony and the Imperials.

August 17PM Netanyahu at Cabinet meeting: "From the first day, the Israeli delegation to Cairo has worked under clear instructions: Insist on the security needs of the State of Israel. Only if there is a clear response to our security needs will we agree to reach understandings... If Hamas thinks that it can cover up its military loss with a diplomatic achievement, it is mistaken. If Hamas thinks that continued sporadic firing will cause us to make concessions, it is mistaken."
August 14Despite the firing of eight rockets towards the end of the 72-hour ceasefire at midnight on Wednesday, 13 August, the ceasefire has been extended for five days, until midnight on Monday, 18 August.August 11The Kerem Shalom Crossing, closed on Sunday due to rocket fire, was reopened.

At no stage did we declare its conclusion. The operation will continue until its goal is met - the restoration of quiet for a long period... Israel will not negotiate under fire and Israel will continue to take all action in order to change the current reality and bring quiet to all of its citizens..."PM Netanyahu to Pres Rivlin: "We said at the start of the operation that Israel would not negotiate under fire and we have proven that we stand behind these words. Since Hamas violated the ceasefire on Friday, the IDF has struck it very hard. We are determined to achieve the goal of Operation Protective Edge - the restoration of quiet for the residents of Israel for a lengthy period while striking significantly at the terrorist organizations. I said at the beginning of the operation: We will achieve this either militarily or diplomatically, or by a combination of both."An Egyptian-brokered 72-hour ceasefire came into effect at midnight on Sunday, after Israel said it would not negotiate in Cairo unless the rockets stopped. Minutes before the declared ceasefire, rockets were fired at Beersheba and Tel Aviv, following a day of rocket fire directed at Israel's south.August 8Israel agreed to Egypt's call to extend the 72-hour ceasefire. Shortly after 4 am, with the ceasefire still in effect, two rockets struck in open areas near the Eshkol Regional Council. At 8:01, two rockets were fired towards Ashkelon, marking the renewal of rocket fire from Gaza, as Hamas refused to extend the 72-hour ceasefire. By 10 am, over 18 rockets were fired from Gaza at Israel: 2 were intercepted over Ashkelon, 14 hit open areas and 2 landed in Gaza. At 10:30 rockets were fired at Sderot.

August 2
At 11:30 pm, a special committee led by the IDF Chief Rabbi announced the death of Lt. Hadar Goldin, 23, an infantry officer in the Givati Brigade who was killed in battle in the Gaza Strip on Friday.
Over the past 24 hours, the IDF struck 200 terror targets in the Gaza Strip, including tunnels, weapon manufacturing and storage facilities, and command and control centers. Among the targets was a Hamas military wing facility that was used for research and development of weapon manufacturing located within the Islamic University. In addition, weapon caches and Hamas command and training facilities concealed within five Gazan mosques were targeted. IAF aircraft targeted the launcher used to fire at the Tel Aviv area earlier this morning.
August 1
Hamas fired at IDF forces in southern Gaza at 9:30 this morning in violation of the humanitarian ceasefire. IDF soldier suspected kidnapped. Extensive search underway.
Two IDF soldiers were killed in the suspected kidnapping of 2nd-Lt. Hadar Goldin in Rafah.
Once again, Hamas and the terror organizations in Gaza have violated the ceasefire to which they committed themselves to the UN Secretary-General and US Secretary of State Kerry.
UN special envoy Robert Serry issues statement: He was informed by Israel of "a serious incident this morning" during the truce involving "a tunnel behind IDF lines in the Rafah area of the Gaza Strip." If confirmed, "this would constitute a serious violation of the humanitarian ceasefire in place since 8 am this morning by Gazan militant factions, which should be condemned in the strongest terms."
White House press calls the reported kidnapping of an IDF soldier by Hamas a "barbaric violation of ceasefire agreement" negotiated by the United States and United Nations.
US President Obama: "I have - unequivocally condemned Hamas and the Palestinian factions that were responsible for killing two Israeli soldiers and abducting a third almost minutes after a ceasefire had been announced...I have been very clear throughout this crisis that Israel has a right to defend itself. No country can tolerate missiles raining down on its cities and people having to rush to bomb shelters every twenty minutes or half hour. No country can or would tolerate tunnels being dug under their land that can be used to launch terrorist attacks...It's going to be very hard to put a ceasefire back together again if Israelis and the international community can't feel confident that Hamas can follow through on a ceasefire commitment. And it's not particularly relevant whether a particular leader in Hamas ordered this abduction, the point is that when they sign onto a ceasefire, they're claiming to speak for all the Palestinian factions. If they don't have control of them and just moments after a ceasefire's signed you have Israeli soldiers being killed and captured, then it's hard for the Israelis to feel confident that a ceasefire can actually be honored. "
US Secretary Kerry: "The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms today's attack, which led to the killing of two Israeli soldiers and the apparent abduction of another. It was an outrageous violation of the cease-fire negotiated over the past several days, and of the assurances given to the United States and the United Nations. Hamas, which has security control over the Gaza Strip, must immediately and unconditionally release the missing Israeli soldier... The international community must now redouble its efforts to end the tunnel and rocket attacks by Hamas terrorists on Israel and the suffering and loss of civilian life."UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: "The Secretary-General condemns in the strongest terms the reported violation by Hamas of the mutually agreed humanitarian ceasefire which commenced this morning. He is shocked and profoundly disappointed by these developments... Such moves call into question the credibility of Hamas' assurances to the United Nations. The Secretary-General demands the immediate and unconditional release of the captured soldier."
1:00am: Israel accepts humanitarian ceasefire

The IDF repeatedly conveyed warnings to the hospital staff and urged civilians to leave the area in advance. Hamas is telling them to stay.IDF Spokesman Peter Lerner: "Hamas terrorists have been intentionally abusing the hospital and other international protected symbols to indiscriminately attack Israel and its civilians. The IDF is determined in preventing the ongoing aggression by Hamas that is directed by a strategy of exploitation and abuse of the civilian population and its wellbeing." Dr. Basman Alashi, head of Wafa Hospital, reportedly said that the hospital is currently empty of staff and patients, who were transferred to a different facility in Gaza City a week ago.
Three Paratroopers were killed in Gaza.
July 21: Terror infiltration from northern GazaFour IDF soldiers were killed early in the morning by a rocket-propelled grenade, fired by Hamas gunmen who emerged from a tunnel dug from Gaza into Israel near Kibbutz Nir Am. The Hamas cell, clad in IDF uniforms, emerged from the tunnel, and waited for an approaching IDF jeep before opening fire, killing the IDF officer and the three soldiers in the vehicle.Five more were killed fighting terrorists in Gaza.The tunnel infiltration involved two groups of Hamas gunmen. The second cell emerged near Erez, on Israeli territory. Surveillance soldiers spotted the infiltrators and summoned an aircraft to the area. The aircraft opened fire, killing the gunmen.July 20: 13 Israeli soldiers of the Golani Brigade were killed overnight in the course of the IDF operation in Gaza.
In the first incident, terrorists detonated an explosive device on an armored vehicle, causing the death of seven soldiers. 19-year-old Oron Shaul from Poria is believed to have been killed in the attack, but his remains have not yet been identified. Hamas claimed on Sunday to have kidnapped Shaul, but Israeli officials say they may have simply retrieved some identifying items from the scene after the attack.
In the second attack, terrorists opened fire at two IDF soldiers in the northern Gaza Strip, killing one. Later, IDF soldiers were attacked by a terrorist squad in northern Gaza, leading to the death of two soldiers. Lastly, three IDF soldiers lost their lives when they became trapped in a burning building.Israel agrees to humanitarian windowIsrael agreed to the Red Cross request for a humanitarian window in Sejaiya and will hold fire there from 13:30-15:30.

"Humanitarian window"Following requests by representatives of the UN and other international organizations on Wednesday evening (July 16, 2014), the IDF has declared a "humanitarian window" in Gaza on Thursday, 17 July between 10:00-15:00.

Stained Glass Art
Susan Corkum has been involved with art for over 25 years, receiving her BFA from Cardinal Stritch University in 1976. She has explored many different media, including: painting, jewelry and fiber arts, before concentrating on two and three-dimensional work, utilizing the combination of glass and metal.
The artist uses various textured glass and a mixture of colors in each piece to create an eye-catching effect. Susan believes that one should not be bound by traditional methods of stained and leaded glass, but rather one should be free to explore ideas that "transcend the typical". Her designs are contemporary and abstract with a bit of whimsy. She uses only lead-free solder when constructing her pieces.
Susan Corkum's work has been sold through art dealers and stores in Wisconsin, and Illinois as well as to private collectors. Her work has been shown at Gallery 218 and the Schlueter Art Gallery, both in Milwaukee, the Anderson Art Center in Kenosha, and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

TV shows disappoint
Published: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 12:56 p.m.
Editor: The idea that the American populace is a group of simpletons who would not latch on to good television if it bit them on the nose is the single largest reason for the degradation of the art of television. Time and time again, we see mainstream television coming from NBC, Fox or CBS that simply never challenges the viewer and offers cheap entertainment for a great evening of mind-numbing, lethargic television watching.
Even though we have seen "higher-order" networks like AMC, HBO or Showtime lead the way into a new Golden Age of television, mainstream networks have been left behind by having themselves be defined as mainstream. They allow themselves to be put into a corner by trying to appeal to everyone at the same time in order to rake in more ad revenue. By turning each and every show into a rat race for syndication, they have dug their own grave when it comes to actually putting out art, even though it has been proven that challenging TV is both popular and lucrative.
This idea of a homogenized, one-size-fits-all approach to television is due to networks trying to keep a certain air of family values about their show. Adults should be able to view nudity, violence and swearing in shows if they want to, especially if drama shows want to be realistic about their subject.
But seeing as TV shows do not want to scare Joe Schmoe, they force themselves into producing TV that is not challenging, daring or even realistic. They do this to keep advertisers, but that is a poor excuse given the success of shows like "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" or "Game of Thrones." However, artistic license to accurately show real life does not mean they should turn the show into a dump of nudity and swears. That's just as bad as not showing it at all.
An even worse example of this homogenization is the attempts to appeal to the casual viewer. Television networks think that the average viewer is dumber than he actually is, which in turn allows the viewer to actually be dumb. Most people could watch "The Wire" without much trouble at all and still be subjected to the deepest exploration of socio-political themes that has ever been done. However, the Big 3 do not green light shows like "The Wire" because they do not think the everyday man can handle a show like that. They easily could, though, given the opportunity, as evidenced by the success of "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad."
So please, if you care about TV at all, just stop watching NBC, CBS and Fox as a whole. Yes, there are exceptions, most notably "Parks and Recreation" and "Community," but, for the most part, their whole lineup is trash that jumped the shark three seasons ago. Go seek out some TV with substance. I promise that you will never be able to go back once you see the pure gold that is out there.

Long is the correct adjective for this town, its main street running for 3km. It is lined with 16C-18C half-timbered houses and leads to a spacious green triangle, overlooked by Trinity Hospital (1573) and the old Holy Trinity Church (late 15C). This is one of the finest "wool churches" in East Anglia, with a 14C alabaster low-relief of the Adoration of the Magi, as well as 15C stained-glass windows.

Baltimore County News
Charlie Reighart
Baltimore County Recycling & Waste Prevention Manager
As I joined County Executive Kevin Kamenetz and Council Chair Tom Quirk today in Catonsville to announce that County residents have recycled a record-breaking 52,500 tons of curbside recyclables, I couldn't help but think back a couple of decades when recycling first got its start here – and realize how much easier it is now!
Oh, how far we have come! On June 23, 1990, at the Giant Food parking lot at the corner of Loch Raven Boulevard and Taylor Avenue, a surprisingly large contingent of Baltimore County residents arrived in 600 vehicles during a three-hour period. These residents brought with them recyclable paper and bottles and cans to the County's first volunteer-operated, County-assisted, recycling drop-off center ("Towson-Parkville"). Residents waited patiently in long lines, sometimes for a half hour or more, to hand-deliver their recyclables. Over several years, nine different volunteer organizations ran recycling drop-off centers all around the County. Back in the day, at each center there were seven different drop-off receptacles (one each for mixed paper, tin cans, aluminum cans, plastic bottles and jugs, and three colors of glass), each watched over like a hawk by a volunteer to ensure against cross-contamination. Recycling progress was measured pound by pound.
Fast-forward to today. No more long lines, just the distance from your home to the closest curb or alley. No more having to separate recyclables into seven different receptacles (one will do just fine with the County's "single stream" collection program). And progress is no longer measured in pounds, but in tens of thousands of tons. On March 7, 2013, the County Executive announced an all-time, annual County record for recycling – more than 52,300 tons in 2012! Are you and your community recycling all you can? Find out at bcrecycles.com.
Before the end of 2013, the County expects to open its own single stream recycling sorting facility, which will usher in yet another exciting chapter in the County's environmental leadership.
Here's to Baltimore County's rich recycling history, proud present, and especially its promising future.

By 1996, I was transitioning from editor to director with the help of executive producer Susie Shuttleworth. Together we started a production company in partnership with National Video called Division 6.
I'd been working with Patrick McDonough at PMCD Design since the late '80s as an editor; he was one of the first people to hire Susie and me to produce and direct his live-action projects. Patrick had designed ESPN2's on-air look, so when they launched the first Winter X Games they chose PMCD to design the show packaging. P…Continue Reading

A sleek, angular skyline of glass and neon may define downtown Dallas, but it is the sprawling vastness that leaves new residents and visitors in awe. As the nation's fourth-largest metro area, Dallas covers roughly 343 square miles. Dallas is a big city with even bigger statistics. The city has more shopping centers than any other in the US, it is home to the world's largest bronze monument, and it boasts a convention center big enough to fit an entire baseball field inside. Everything really is bigger in Texas, and that's especially true in the city of Dallas.
Dallas is part of the unique DFW Metroplex, the only metroplex in the nation. Large, busy, bustling – when you become a part of this metro area, you're never far from entertainment – or from any other city in the country! A four-hour flight from the DFW International Airport or Love Field will take you to any major US city. But once you've found an apartment in Dallas, you may not want to leave! This city has amazing entertainment, several Fortune 500 companies, and the one-and-only Dallas Cowboys! Ready to live big in Dallas? Here's everything you need to know about Dallas apartments, the Dallas lifestyle, and the city's amazing destinations.
Things to Do in Dallas:
From catching a performance of the Texas Ballet at the AT&T Performing Arts Center to watching a sporting event at American Airlines Center to shopping at Trader's Village (the most popular flea market in Texas), Dallas truly has something for everyone – and then some. Visit Southfork Ranch, where the famous TV show, Dallas, was filmed.
Families can enjoy Six Flags Over Texas, the Dallas Zoo, the Dallas Aquarium, and the Museum of Nature and Science. Explore history at the Sixth Floor Museum and the historic Fair Park, which also contains seven museums and six performance venues. Watch the Dallas Cowboys play football at the AT&T Stadium, the Mavericks play basketball or the Stars play hockey at the American Airlines Center, or head to nearby Arlington and watch the Texas Rangers play baseball at Globe Life Park. Dallas was named America's favorite sports city for good reason – in addition to teams in all pro sports, Dallas also offers several college sports teams, as well.
The Nasher Sculpture Center is a unique destination and should definitely be included on your "must-see" list after you move to your new apartment in Dallas. This center contains one of the world's finest collections of modern and contemporary sculpture, with over 300 masterpieces by Matisse, Picasso, Rodin, Calder, Serra, and many more. The center includes an auditorium, a café, and research facilities.
The historic Dealey Plaza, listed as a National Historic Landmark, is a city park that contains the Texas School Book Depository (home of the Sixth Floor Museum) and the Grassy Knoll. This is the area where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. The park is located in Dallas' historic West End district.
Take advantage of the beautiful weather in Dallas at nearby White Rock Lake, located about five miles north of downtown. This park offers kayaking, boat ramps, the Dallas Arboretum, a dog park, the White Rock Lake Museum, a hiking and biking trail, wetlands, piers, and picnic areas. It is the most popular park in Dallas.
Head south and discover Joe Pool Lake, another terrific recreation area that offers fishing, jet skiing, picnicking, boating, swimming, camping, and marinas. Several parks surround the lake, including the 1,826-acre Cedar Hill State Park. This park offers boat ramps, a marina, a fishing barge, hiking trails, a swimming area, picnic areas, and a mountain biking trail. Loyd Park has a campground, a boat dock, a beach, a ball field, a volleyball court, an equestrian trail, and hiking trails. Lynn Creek State Park has a beach area, concessions, picnic areas, and sand volleyball courts.
Another popular Dallas park is Pioneer Plaza, located in the Convention Center District. The park includes the Confederate War Memorial and the landmark sculpture depicting a 19th-century cattle drive. The park, which is one of the most-visited tourist destinations in Dallas, is located next to the Dallas Convention Center.
After choosing your Dallas apartment, you can enjoy bicycling, walking, jogging, or inline skating on the Katy Trail. This trail follows former railroad tracks and is a wide, paved trail that extends 3.5 miles through the city. As one of the city's favorite outdoor spaces, the trail includes pedestrian bridges and entrance plazas.
What to Consider When Moving to Dallas:
Dallas is a vibrant, energetic city. The city's strong economy includes several Fortune 500 companies. Some of the large companies that call Dallas home include Texas Instruments, AT&T, ExxonMobil, Dean Foods, and Southwest Airlines. As the city becomes increasingly pedestrian-friendly, Dallas is home to DART, one of the nation's fastest-growing light rail systems, and the McKinney Avenue Trolley, a free trolley that takes passengers from the Dallas Arts District throughout the Uptown area.
Dallas offers some of the best shopping destinations in Texas, terrific restaurants, and exciting nightlife. Many of these venues are located in Downtown Dallas' entertainment districts. If nightlife is high on your must-have list, then be sure to look for apartments in Dallas neighborhoods such as the Arts District, the Design District, Uptown, the West End, and Deep Ellum. But be careful – these districts are all similar in their wealth of entertainment, but they are very different in what they offer. For example, the Bishop Arts District is a fun, funky area with trendy boutiques in former warehouses, independent retailers, and locally-owned restaurants offering farm-to-table cuisine. Deep Ellum oozes cool – this is the "birthplace of jazz and the blues," after all, and it is filled with clubs, live music venues, art galleries, and great restaurants. For high-end shopping and exclusive restaurants, Highland Park is one of the most affluent neighborhoods in Dallas.
Why Dallas Apartments Are Hot:
Big things happen here – and if you want to be a part of it, rent an apartment in Dallas. With its strong, diverse economy, legendary sports (Dallas Cowboys!), terrific neighborhoods, and its fantastic shopping and nightlife, life in Dallas is never boring. But you can escape all of that excitement at nearby lakes and parks such as White Rock, where a peaceful setting offers a tranquil hideaway just minutes from the heart of the city. Big spaces, big buildings, big fun, and big hair – this is Dallas, and you belong here! Rent your Dallas apartment now and start living big.
