Earlier this month I (Paul) had a work trip to Dallas. I've been to Dallas before, but it's been a decade, so I was excited to visit again. Since it was for work I didn't have free time during the day, but did have a couple of evenings to explore.
My conference was in downtown Dallas, which isn't too exciting, but I made it out to the nearby Deep Ellum and Uptown neighborhoods, which are much more lively. On the last evening we went to the Katy Trail Ice House and I noticed a lot of people wearing green jerseys. Turns out there was a Dallas Stars hockey game that evening. I hadn't been to an NHL game since the Thrashers left Atlanta in 2011, so I jumped at the chance. Overall a nice quick trip to Dallas.

BBQ at Pecan Lodge! Expensive but delicious. |
The Katy Trail is a wonderful amenity for the city. I walked on it all the way to the arena. |
