Dallas Texas City Profile

Beginning in the 1950s and 1960s with its origins in the Texas Instruments company, Dallas has become a major technology center. Dallas is considered the center of the information technology labor market in Texas and is known as Texas' Silicon Valley, also called "Silicon Prairie". Dallas residents, who, more so than other Texas cities, come from places outside of Texas, claim to eat out four times a week, and Dallas boasts twice as many restaurants per person than New York City. When it comes to hotels and restaurants, downtown Dallas has an impressive and eclectic selection of both. Real estate trends show new growth outside into the Dallas suburbs and the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex area.
