And I liked living there for a few years. I used to know the area like the back of my hand. 9er8er lives there now, maybe you two can have a drink.
Have you been to St. Elmo's? If not make the trip and be hungry when you arrive. I've been in steakhouses all over the USA and that's one that is really worth it.
I recall one year having an event of mine going on at the convention center during one of the combine days, the combine hadn't actually started but all the teams staff were arriving and you could see them in the hallways in team gear and suits. I was there with two employees and one of them
hated the Cowboys and gave their group a little crap as they walked down the hallway. Back then the combine was watched and noted but was not the big spectacle it is now. It was 2000 or 2001 I'm not sure.
That's a nice convention center and a downtown that has gone from ghost town to worth being in if you live in the area.
