It’s no secret, Dallas has a very special breed of people, more commonly known as Dallasites. Dallasites are the ones who have always been here, and will probably always be here. Being from Dallas is so much more than just calling the Big D home, it’s knowing and loving everything that comes with this crazy town. With the help of Thomas, and his mom, we came up with a little list of some tell tale signs you’re from the Big D! How Dallas are YOU?
