I've lived in Arlington my entire life and have traveled the country but have never found a city quite like my town. With a population of just over 380,000, it provides all the luxuries that you would expect from a big city but with the same feel as a small southern town. This city is chalk full of patriotism and culture that draw in tourists each and every year from all over the world.

The first thing that I show people when they visit is the Rangers stadium. As many people know, Texas is all about sports and we love our local baseball team. Our stadium is huge and a great way to get out and enjoy a peaceful after noon and watch some professional baseball!

The other thing that catches not only my eye, but the eyes of others is the Oil Derrick Tower. This tower is located at Six Flags and is a huge landmark for the area. Six Flags is one of the biggest waterpark franchises in all of America and we here in Arlington are proud to say that we have one and you'll love getting in and out of the water on a hot day with tons of friends! On top of that, Arlington is also the world headquarters for the sport of bowling. We love bowling in this area and you can easily join a league and get out on the lanes and compete with tons of friendly and like minded people!

All in all I love Arlington, Texas and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. Come on down to Arlington today and take in a Rangers game or perhaps go and throw the bowling ball down the lanes and see if you can't hit a strike. Arlington is nothing but fun!

Arlington, Texas is the Fort Worth / Dallas suburb where my sister and her family lives. Each time we travel to Arlington I've had to remind myself that we were just outside the metro area. The neighborhood they live in seems so relaxed and has that safe feeling of a smaller town or a suburb much further outside the metro. We also visited other neighborhoods in Arlington and I found them to have that same safe feeling as well.

As close as it is to the southern edge of Fort Worth, it still provides all the amenities and some of the attractions, restaurants and shopping one would desire right there in Arlington. You got the sense of a family orientated community with schools and churches surrounded by neighborhood developments. The homes were well kept and the streets easy to navigate. Shopping centers and restaurants in Arlington provided easy access to whatever we needed for the day, which in the heat of a Texas summer is usually just a cool place to retreat to.
