- [Prairies and Lakes] While the Prairies and Lakes area is home to miles of grassy prairies
- and lovely lakes, this description belies the excitement available in
- the cities that anchor this part of the state ╤ Dallas, Fort Worth,
- and the surrounding communities also known as "The Metroplex." Dallas
- offers its visitors a healthy helping of "Cowboy Chic"- exciting
- night life, outstanding cultural arts and more shopping centers per
- capita than anywhere else in the United States. Fort Worth appeals to
- those interested in a more authentic flavor of the Wild West, but in
- a big city atmosphere. And in between the two cities are several
- exciting cities like Irving and Arlington that provide sports buffs
- and families all types of professional sporting teams, amusement
- parks, and shopping opportunities. South of the Metroplex one can
- find a variety of cities that are steeped in history and home to
- major industrial companies and internationally recognized
- universities.
