    Bless 'em, in Founders Plaza, they have a reconstruction of what the first buildings in Dallas would have looked like. The design dates back to - gasp - 1831.
    I am currently sitting in a pub in Ware that is 800 years old. I could fire a shotgun down the high street here and not hit a single building built after 1831. It's a weird thing being somewhere that has no roots to it.
    Nobody goes to Dallas for a holiday or for fun. It's all bidness. Also, no Texans live in Dallas.

    It has some decent art, particularly sculpture and a burgeoning food scene. Houston is better on all fronts and the smaller cities are better still. I assume this was a work trip, because you’d have to be a JFK obsessive to visit Dallas. Even then you’d be disappointed.

    Did you see any morons run over on the JFK died here crosses?

    Did you see I went to Dealey Plaza and the museum? It’s convinced me there’s no way Oswald was the only shooter (if he was a shooter at all).

    You're from south London though; you probably see darkies everywhere, even in your sleep.

    And it’s really quite...well...y’know...black.
    Certainly in the downtown area, it’s almost all black and Mexican.
    Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course. Diversity is our strength and whatnot.
    Rather a lot of the black chaps do seem to be of the older variety who stand on street corners wearing every item of clothing they own and shouting incomprehensibly at passers by. Which is nice.

    I'm amazed at the absence of a meaningful Afro-Caribbean community in my corner of SE London / Kent. I can only assume that People Of Colour are too discerning to live amongst gyppos.

    You never said you were a gyppo?

    Fairplay though; nobody likes having alot of Africans around.

    I’m not a gyppo. I’m a Dutch/Irish mongrel, certainly, but I’m no gyppo.
