Synopsis:
Propelled by an indomitable will to succeed and immeasurable confidence in the future, the citizens of Dallas are continuing to build a strong foundation for more good years ahead."
So writes former Mayor Annette Strauss, author of Dallas: World-Class Texas, as she describes the desire for success that pervades the southwestern metropolis she calls home. That same "will to succeed" is what inspired John Neely Bryan to establish a trading post here in 1841. It's what has carried the community through the Kennedy assassination and economic crises. And it's what has made Dallas into the city it is today - an international center of commerce and culture that combines a reverence for its heritage with an eye toward a bright future.
Aided by Carolyn Brown's exquisite collection of color images from the area's finest photographers, Strauss weaves the tale of a "place that was built on the dreams and aspirations and ingenuity of its citizens." A city whose boundaries seem endless, Big D boasts the nation's largest urban arts district, world-renowned shopping, exciting sports teams, a prosperous business sector, outstanding parks, a high-tech light-rail system, and the list goes on.
Such successes have instilled in Dallasites an unparalleled sense of pride in their hometown. An unmistakable spirit that is embodied in a bustling downtown. The larger-than-life Cowboys. And the equally loved and hated TV character, J.R. Ewing.
As Strauss aptly illustrates "There is absolutely no better place to live, learn, work, and play than in this community of promise and pride." Dallas: a world-class city indeed.
