Tiff • 4+ years in Dallas
September 23, 2025How do I begin? I've lived in Dallas for 35 years (as of 2025), and I love everything about this sprawling Metroplex. In my time here, I've raised a family, but before that, I was a college student, a young professional, a boss lady, and now, a semi-retired grandmother of one. Every era of my life, Dallas has been good TO me and FOR me. Thank you for the memories, Big D!
