If you're close to 35, it's not too bad either.

Nor acknowledge the existence of the Dallas Museum of Art or the outstanding series of musuems (Kimbell, Amon Carter, Modern, etc.) in Ft. Worth's cultural district.
I take it you don't like being outdoors either since there are nice hiking and biking nature trails not too far from downtown.
(No, DFW is certainly not Northern California when it comes to scenery. But there are still nice places to get out for fresh air and a great hike)
Nope, I'm not into the arts that much. I have never been to the opera, but have seen a musical at Fair Park and ballet at the Bass. I also have been to Nasher, DMA, Kimbell, Crow, and a few others a few times but it's really not my cup of tea.
I enjoy being outdoors, but not in Dallas. I've skied, ziplined and ATV in Whistler/Blackcomb, sea kayak in Broken Group Islands, salmon fishing in the Alberni Inlet, skied and snow mobile around Lake Tahoe, camped and sauna in Finland, hiked in Iceland, climbed mountains on Vancouver Island, walked around SE Asia, and so on. To me, the hiking and biking trails around Dallas just pale in comparison even to the ones in Austin. I've even kayak on Lake Lewisville and White Rock and it's just depressing to me. And when the temperature starts going up, I find the air more suffocating than refreshing.
