Dallas

Reunion Tower offers an incredible vantage point of the Dallas skyline—one that feels straight out of the iconic opening sequence from the classic TV show Dallas. Standing up there, you can truly appreciate the scale and character of the city.

Although my visit happened to fall on a cloudy day, the view was still absolutely stunning. The low-hanging clouds added a dramatic, almost cinematic feel to the landscape. That said, I’d love to return on a clear day to see the skyline in all its sunlit glory.

Sinfully Scenic

Scenic moments come in many forms. The Las Vegas Strip, with its unique charm, is scenic in its own way. While it may not feature towering mountains or vast oceans, it boasts its own kind of grandeur—colossal casinos and world-class wonders that create a skyline all their own.

Fort Worth

Fort Worth, as seen from the iconic Coyote Drive-In, is a vision of understated grandeur. The sky, awash in a golden hue, casts its radiant glow upon the gleaming windows of the downtown twin skyscrapers, transforming the cityscape into a shimmering masterpiece. Though often overshadowed by its larger sibling, Dallas, Fort Worth stands as a proud testament to resilience and individuality. It is the smaller of the two cities that form the sprawling Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, yet it possesses a charm and character all its own. 

Fort Worth is a city that refuses to be forgotten, a place where the spirit of the West meets modern sophistication. Its unique culture—rooted in cowboy heritage, vibrant arts, and a thriving culinary scene—sets it apart from its sister city just a county over. Here, the Stockyards echo with the footsteps of history, while the Cultural District boasts world-class museums and galleries. Fort Worth is not merely a shadow of Dallas; it is a beacon of authenticity, a city that offers its own rich tapestry of experiences, inviting all who visit to discover its distinct and enduring allure.

Skyline

Poking through the morning mist the behemoth that is New York City stirs across the shore from New Jersey.  My second visit to the Big Apple in 20 years; familiar yet so very different.  The city itself is mesmerizing, if you’re not careful it will hypnotize you. 

In New York,

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,

There's nothin' you can't do.

Now you're in New York….

These streets will make you feel brand new;

Big lights will inspire you….

Dallas is a Jewel

Dallas is a beautiful sight.

Jackson, Mississippi

This is an awesome view of the Regions building of downtown Jackson, Mississippi from Amite Street. The Regions Building is currently the largest building downtown, and houses many interesting businesses and one of the most elite clubs in Mississippi… The University Club. The University Club is located on the very top floor and offers unparalleled views of the city and surrounding area for miles… I know this because many years ago I had the honor of attending a banquet they hosted. It was a surreal experience and I have yet to have anything to parallel it, but I hope to someday visit again…
