OT; Going through Dallas

[Butcher]

I"m going to be traveling through Dallas. I45 south. Anyone ever taken the 635 dallas loop? Or would it be better to go straight through town. Thanks.

If you are going south to AUSTIN you want I-35 thru FT.WORTH much less traffic.

No, going to Houston. Leaving NE Iowa tomorrow morning. Hope to get to Houston Thursday sometime.

Which way you coming in? Get on 75 north of Dallas and turns into 45 in the middle of Dallas. No need to take the loop. Even if you do it aint that bad.

Yeah Jeff, I'm coming in on 75. Just never been to Dallas befor. I didnt know if it was anything like Minniapolis or Chicago. Hate to drive through them 2 towns. I'm just an old country boy who is more comfertable on a dirt road in the winter than I am driving in a big city.

Look at your map and see how to get on 75,thats way up in Oklahoma,then take it through town to 45 or around the loop to 45.If you want to see downtown go that way,if you just want to go on through take the loop.I think I would take the loop but it depends on when you go through there.Lots of the time its not to bad but if they have a wreck it could be bad.Its probly as bad as Minneapolis/St.Paul,maybe worse the right time of day.
