DALLAS — When you arrive at Dallas–Fort Worth Airport, you always notice the sprightly atmosphere that prevails. There may be a recession, elsewhere in the country but not in this sprawling metroplex.
Like all big cities, Dallas has problems. Homelessness, traffic and other issues, but when it comes to commerce and industry, Dallas seems to move along favorably and with consistent alacrity.
