[edit] Regions

Could this be broken into regions (west Dallas / east Dallas / etc.). Seems to be a pretty large city to just have on one page.

I have given a shot at districtifying this city. Many listings still need to be pinned down and moved, but I'd love to hear some feedback on the organizational scheme I've started. Some parts of Dallas don't fit neatly into this scheme, I think. The parts around and north of Love Field, for example, would not normally be referred to as Uptown, nor I think would the band of the city along the northern stretch of the loop. South Dallas, on the other hand, encompasses half the map, but probably wouldn't have the listings to merit breaking it down any further. Also, the Fairgrounds actually fall somewhere between Deep Ellum, South Dallas, and East Dallas but I've included them in South Dallas just to boost the number of listings there. Also it may perhaps be a good idea to separate Upper Greenville from East Dallas, but I'm not sure. Comments? Texugo 02:10, 20 February 2008 (EST)

After a bit more thought, I'm going to add a couple more districts.Texugo 03:31, 20 February 2008 (EST)

Much happier with the new schematic. I think everything has its place now, plus the article is a little more integrated with its important suburb articles now too. Comments? Texugo 06:40, 20 February 2008 (EST)

Uptown only extends from Woodall Rogers on the south; to Haskell on the north; and from Central Expressway on the east to the Katy Trail on the west. West of the Katy Trail is the Oak Lawn neighborhood. Uptown was considered part of Oak Lawn until the mid-1990s.
