16 American Cities Foreign Governments Warn Their Citizens About

I am saddened that Dallas is not on the list. But I take comfort in the fact that EVERY DAMNED ONE OF THEM IS RUN BY DEMOCRATS.

There are parts of Paris to avoid as well.
I thought the parts about Houston were pretty accurate.
As for Dallas, who goes to visit Dallas?

Kennedy assassination conspiracy true-believers, for one. J.R. Ewing fans, for another.
It’s true we don’t get a lot of foreigners, which I count as a feature.

It’s likely that you do get visitors but that they are all hopelessly lost on the bizarre entanglement of highways in the DFW area. Just in case anyone might figure out a likely path, the highway folks have endless construction projects to re-route existing roads into new and totally unrelated parts of town. Signage? Sometimes “North” roads go east. “East” roads may go south, or west, or just dead-end. I thought I could do it with a GPS (trying to leave Los Colinas and head out of town on I45S), but the state-of-the-art, high-tech, satellite navigation system ordered me to make 3 U-turns as it became confused in the construction maze. I45 manages to go through quite a few cities without problems, but for some reason it “ends” in Dallas. (It doesn’t really end, but turns into something else for some distance for no particularly useful reason.)
The Beer Can House (http://www.beercanhouse.org/) in Houston is a more interesting attraction than either the Book Depository or the house used for scenes in “Dallas”.

Unfortunately, Dallas is run by Democrats, so there’s no rhyme nor reason to the roads. The northern suburbs are much more reasonable.
