Is there tailgating before Dallas Cowboys preaseason games and are they crowded?
Q. Going to a preseason Dallas Cowboys/Oakland Raiders game this year in Dallas while I am down there visiting family. Do people tailgate for preaseason games? Also how crowded are preaseason games? Just trying to plan when I should leave for the stadium and what I can be in store for. Thanks!
Asked by Sean M - Wed Jul 21 16:00:43 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes there is, but Tailgating is permitted in designated tailgating spaces only around the perimeter of the lots. I enclosed a link to the stadium that should help. While the games are crowded, but it is not that bad getting in and around from my experience. If you want to tailgate, I would show up early (just after the lots open) enough to either get set up or roam around and socialize. You can alos hang out and do the same for a couple hours after the game as well. Have fun, I don't know where your tickets are but take some time and roam the other levels inside as well - amazing place.

How is the amtrax service between Austin and Dallas?
Q. I need to keep travelling between austin and dallas everyweek - usually monday to thursday. Appreciate any feedback on this: How is the Amtrak service between Austin & Dallas ? Is it safe, how are the fellow passengers ? Do you get to buy and eat any snacks/drinks ? How comfortable are the seats for the long journey ? Are there any power points where i can plug my laptop ?
Asked by easyguy2010 - Fri Nov 7 23:06:00 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I have rode the Amtrak train from Dallas to Austin and I really enjoyed it. But it took about 8 hours so it's rather time-consuming. I don't know about riding it almost everyday, though, like you are describing. I think that would get pretty expensive. Yes, I think it's very safe. It wasn't very crowded at all and I enjoyed meeting the other passengers or I could just keep quiet and to myself if I wanted to. You can get up and walk around from car to car and there is a snack car where you can buy snacks and beverages. It is comfortable and the restrooms on board are very clean and decent. I didn't have a laptop at the time, but I bet they do have power points. Not sure about that. All in all, I thought it was a great way to travel. [cont.]

A. Lower Greenville, Deep Ellum and Addison are good places (although the music is mostly on Greenville and Deep Ellum.) There are ALWAYS great live music performances in the clubs and concert halls. Guidelive and Observer have complete lists of upcoming performances and club activities. Often prepurchase of tickets is required. Hotels can be quite costly in Dallas if you go for upper end. There are lots of nice ones out on the North Dallas Tollway corridor. Also the Loews Wyndham is close to downtown and very nice. The Fairmont has been recently totally updated. You won't necessarily find a good hotel close to night life. If you pick a market weekend you will have trouble getting a hotel period.

What was the original purpose of the abandoned road in Dallas that is east of Junior Drive?
Q. In the Kessler Park section of Dallas, at the place where Junior Drive makes an abrupt right hand turn and heads south instead of continuing east, there's a concrete road, blocked off by wooden posts.It runs for about a half a block, in an area that, even though it is very near downtown Dallas, is still largely unused, vacant and lonely land. It looks like it was originally an extension of Junior Drive, following Coombs Creek to the east. It's been blocked off like this for at least 42 years. What was its original purpose?

A. Without going out there and looking closely (I live in HEB), just going by the map, I"d say the land is probably unstable due to being so close to the river and thus is probably considered flood land.

A. An income of $41,000 in Dallas is the same as an income of $47,000 in Denver. If your wife has an income as well, you can afford to live in a nice neighborhood in a city with good schools. I would not live in Dallas (unless it's North of LBJ Freeway). Working as a policeman in Dallas is a dangerous job if you have to work in one of the higher crime areas, but that's true of any large city. Dallas is NOT the "murder capital of the US". New Orleans and Detroit have recently held that title. As a matter of fact, when you rate a city by "dangerous crimes", Dallas isn't even in the top 25. Richardson, TX is a city just North of the LBJ Freeway and Dallas. The city has low crime and great schools. The University of Texas at Dallas… [cont.]

How much does a substitute teacher get paid in the North Dallas area?

Asked by Diane - Fri Jan 22 15:01:28 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The best thing for you to do is call one of the district offices, or go online. Substitutes get paid the same regardless of their qualifications, so if you're accepted you'll make the same salary as all subs in the area. I would imagine, though, that a big city like Dallas will pay a bit more than the outlying areas. I'm in California and substitute pay is determined by each school district. You might be able to get a map of the school districts in that area by googleing the Texas department of education.

What month do they close outdoor pools in Dallas Hotels?
Q. I am planning a vacation to Dallas. Some of the motels are outdoor pools. Wondering if the pools will be open the entire month of September.
Asked by Rita Bieniek - Sun Aug 29 10:20:57 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Most motel/hotel outdoor pools in North Texas (DFW included) remain open throughout September. Even at the end of September, the daytime temperature there is still in the upper 80's and even lower 90's. In fact, September is a better month for enjoying outdoor pools in Dallas than August which is still too hot ( upper 90's to lower 100's...) To be sure though, pick up the phone and call the motels you're planning to stay at and ask.

A. Whether or not your wife hears from the districts she has applied with is going to depend on a couple of factors. The first being what her certification is in, and whether or not it is from Texas. If she does not have a TEXAS teaching certification, you will need to have her check with the State Board of Education to see what needs to be done to have her licensed here. This could be as simple as taking the ExCet test or could require more effort. She probably will be able to get an emergency certification if she is in an area that teachers are desperately needed in. This will get her one year to fulfill the requirements of SBEC (State Board of Educator Certification). Call or check with them if this is the case. The second thing that… [cont.]
