The Dallas / Fort Worth area is a great place to visit or live.  Many people who live in or visit the Metroplex don't take advantage of all the things to do here.  There's tons of dining, shopping, arts, cultural, entertainment, sports and other things to try.  One problem is finding a comprehensive listing in an easy to scan format.  Fun In DFW seeks to solve that problem!
