It has a bunch of entertainment, and overall it is a great city. When I visited I fell in love with it. Dallas is opposite of Philadelphia, it gets really hot and it doesn't have much history, but it is a great town for partying. Memphis is so-so in the weather, and it does have history. Its home of Grace Land, where Elvis lived. I think that it is your decision to make about where to go, but just make sure that you are happy in the long run!

If however, there is a break in the weather the annual Grape Fest will be going on in downtown Grapevine. Tickets $8. It runs through the weekend with jazz, rock & country bands. Wine, beer and champagne and lots of good food. If there is a movie you'd like to see the Studio Movie grills are always fun.
