Arlington
Arlington is a city in Texas in Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. As of 2019, its population was almost 400,000, and while that may pale in comparison to Dallas or New York, it definitely punches above its weight.
HISTORY, CARS, SPORTS AND THEME PARKS
It was originally established back in 1876, and by 1910 it had natural gas, electricity, and a phone line. Fast-forward to today, and it is now home to the University of Texas at Arlington (which does world-class research), a large General Motors Plant, AT & T stadium where the Dallas Cowboys play, Globe Life Field where the Texas Rangers play, and the Original Six Flags!
ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
Now forget sports, GM plants, and theme parks for a minute and consider the Arts. Arlington has a very vibrant Art, Culture, and Theatre scene. It is home to Theatre Arlington, which is not just any theatre; it's one of the nation's best and largest community theatres! Arlington is also home to the Arlington Museum of Art, which features many exhibitions and offers countless art classes and workshops.
Do you prefer music to paintings and sculptures? Well, then Levitt Pavillion is just the spot for you! It features 50 different FREE concerts a year featuring artists and singers of all different types of music!
EVERYTHING ELSE
Want to look up at the stars? Well, UT Arlington has a planetarium!
Want to Go Shopping? Then hit up Parks mall, where you can find tons of retailers and "shop until you drop."
You have to admit, from Cars to MLB Baseball to NFL Football to arts and entertainment to stars in the heavens to shopping to theme parks; you'll practically never run out of things to do in Arlington. Cities twice their size often don't have nearly the amount of things to see and do when you visit. So the next time you are traveling in the area, block out some time just for Arlington.
