Dallas real estate values go up and down depending upon who built what mall when. I think Galleria is only a few blocks from there, and that is a seriously expensive piece of real estate. two blocks down from Galleria is a great Thai restaurent, in and across from a pawn shop, a check cashing place, etc. all in bright yellow signs.
I found this site to be pretty good for reviews: (at least for the things I am interested in).

It was a garbage site 6 months ago, but they must have hired the chief progammer from US, UA, or starwood(joke,joke,& even bigger joke) to clean up the site.
