Best Reasons to Live and Work in Dallas

          2014   Happy New Year           

Watched the New Year's Ball drop in New York City last night and celebrated the start of a new year in the Dallas / Fort Worth Metrotex. All the celebrates and announcers kept asking "What is your new year resolution?"

 

 

I decided on "Learn to Love What You Already Have".

 

 

Moving to Dallas in 2000 was a big step in my family's life. We had the opportunity to move to either Austin or Dallas. We started the process of deciding by going online, looking at demographic data and write-ups about the cities. Then we rented a minivan and toured the major cities, suburbs and neighborhoods. It was so much fun even with a one, five and seven year old with us.

 

 

I loved those days so much. I thought it would be an excellent idea to share Texas and make other families enjoy the moving steps. You will learn why I love Texas and my family's home in North Dallas / Fort Worth, Denton area.

 

 

* Dallas has a wonderful Farmer's Market you will love to visit and shop for great produce. http://www.dallasfarmersmarket.org/

 

History of the Market - from dallasfarmersmarket.org

For more than a century, farmers have been selling their fresh produce on the site of the Dallas Farmers Market. It started in the late 1800s as farmers came to town to sell from wagons set up in various locations.

 

Around 1900, the intersection of Pearl and Cadiz streets became the hub of a brisk wholesale business. There, large quantities of produce were sold, along with chickens, pigs, goats, and eggs.

As Dallas grew, so did demand for farm-fresh produce and meat, and it was clear that a better-organized system was needed. In 1939, the site of the Dallas Farmers Market was formalized and the first shed established. The site was officially sanctioned as a municipally-owned and operated market in December 1941.

Over the past six decades, the Dallas Farmers Market has matured into the year-round area attraction that it is today.

 

(I joined a co-operative fruit and vegetable group that every 2 weeks a team goes to Dallas to shop for fresh produce at wholesale prices for our group.)
