The Ballpark in Arlington If George W. Bush creates anything in Washington as successful as The Ballpark in Arlington, he may actually get a majority of votes in 2004.

If you don't find a style of food you like on the premises, you haven't looked hard enough. They've got barbecue and Tex-Mex as well as hot dogs and beer.

The Sixth Floor The Sixth Floor is the simple name of the tasteful museum dedicated to President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in downtown Dallas. The museum is on the sixth floor of the former Texas School Book Depository, from which Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly fired the shots that killed Kennedy and wounded Governor John Connally. Let's hear it for second chances: Up the street is an absolutely hideous memorial to Kennedy designed by architect Phillip Johnson that isn't evocative of much other than concrete walls. The Sixth Floor is a great example of taking a bad memory and turning it into something meaningful. 2. State Fair Grounds 3. Meyerson Symphony Center 4. Dallas Arboretum 5. North Park Mall

Deep Ellum Deep Ellum is the section of downtown Dallas that has always reverberated with music. Over the last decade, it has been spruced up with restaurants and clubs for all tastes. In a city with a history of being conservative in taste and politics, Deep Ellum has served as a wonderful pressure valve. It's what the rest of the city isn't. 2.
