What People are Asking About Dallas... And Some of the Answers

You know that feature in Google autocomplete that reveals what people are searching for? You type the letter J and suddenly it’s all jiffy lube? jonas brothers? jason momoa? Like, thank you, but gimme a second! It’s a little unnerving, but also pretty revealing. I thought it’d be fun to see what sort of Dallas-related questions came up, and do my best to answer a few of them. Ready? Off we go!

​What does the name dallas mean?
Well we looked into this last time, and didn’t find out much. OK, we are off to a bad start.
 
What does a dallas cowboy cheerleader make?
This one is tough to find out as the team is pretty vague about it. But most estimates put it around a low, low $100 a game. It’s typically not a full time job! 

​What is dallas known for?
Anyone who’s gone on a scavenger hunt in Dallas can tell you how much they’ve learned about the art, the architecture, and the history. Anyone who’s ever hung out after a scavenger hunt can tell you about the food. But mostly, Dallas is known for one thing: slapping stars on everything in sight.
 
What is dallas time zone?
Central, which means we don't have to stay up till a horrible hour to watch Monday Night Football, or even Saturday Night Live.

​When will dallas warm up?
I get it, I get it, but let’s enjoy this cool while we can, before Mother Nature turns on the heat lamp and has us all roasting like a pre-made fried chicken sandwich. 

​Where is dallas located?
5,6000 miles SE of Rome, Italy. 

Why are dallas drivers so bad?
Ever think maybe you’re the one that’s bad, and we’re just trying to keep away from you? That, and everyone is texting and driving. Cut it out, y’all!

​Why does dallas stink?
I am not sure what you mean. This might be a comment on the Cowboys’ quality of play, but if it’s actually about the aroma? You wrong. Dallas smells like a mix of burnt ends, pecans, hairspray, Corny Dogs, queso, and whatever Vineyard Vines polos smell like. Though if you buy one of those Dallas Homesick Candles, it apparently smells like Grapefruit, Bergamot, Leather, Smoke. Ah, bergamot. Quintessential Dallas, right?

Why does dallas not have heb?
Great question! We get Central Market, HEB’s bougie sibling, but the closest HEB is down in Waxahachie. Road trip anyone?

So there you have it! What everyone is asking about Dallas. And some of the answers!

Inspired by that little exercise, I put together a quiz. The answer to each of the following clues are among the top suggestions that pops up for a single word entered into Google. (Minus that word, of course.) Can you figure out the word I typed? For example, if you saw BOOK, NEW DEAL, and BAY PACKERS, you'd answer GREEN. Can you (auto) complete the rest?
