Dallas
I was in Dallas, TX on business in the early 90's but lost all the photos of my visit during my move to Arizona. However, these web photos are as close as I could remember to the most impressive sites I saw on my visit to Dallas and Irving.

Chase Tower

The Fountain Place Building

The Bank of America Plaza building glows green at night

I remember visiting here but I thought the sign said "The District."
Now it seems to be referred to as "The Alley" or "The West End."
