Bitchin’ Skyline

I lived in Dallas longer than I lived anywhere in my cross-country career across America. I met my wife in Oak Lawn, our sons were born at Presbyterian…the city will always hold a special place for me. But after spending most of my adult years in major metropolitan areas (New York, LA, Miami Beach, Denver, Houston), I was ready for a less congested home base.

We’ve lived in Tyler since 2003 and these days I rarely get back to Big D, but Pearl and I spent the night there last Monday. I got up early Tuesday  and was treated to a gray dawn over downtown. I remember something photographer Gary Knowlton said to us when he visited from Portland for the first time and we drove into town…”Dallas has a bitchin’ skyline!”. Amen.
