The Beautiful Reliant Lights: A Dallas Celebration!

-

Sometimes, whenever I’m stuck inside due to Covid, I just want a good old-fashioned blast of excitement from time to time. I think we all forget just how much this entire year has de-socialized us from each other. Of course, it’s still possible to find some fun in Texas while still taking special precautions. 

The AT&T Performing Arts Center and Reliant are celebrating the holidays in style with its amazing Reliant Lights program. This program will thrill audiences with the spirit of the holidays underneath the glow of the stars with a newly-reimagined outdoor venue in the Dallas Arts District. Guests will get the chance to enjoy 550,000 LED lights illuminating through the Winspear Opera House, Wyly Theatre, and the trees of Sammons Park. Stroll across the campus with breathtaking holiday imagery and share memories with your friends and loved ones that you’ll never forget! There will also be stylish holiday projections, family photo-ops, and even evening pop-up performances from local artists and organizations. It all sounds good to me--and I’m not even a full-time Dallas resident!


Speaking of residents, those living in apartments in Dallas will find getting to the AT&T Center can be easy if you’re situated in the right spots. Residents living in the Lure Apartments, for example, are extremely lucky as they only have a ten minute quick and convenient commute over, with proper tolls of course. Those living closer towards the North section of Dallas, however, might find things a bit trickier. Residents in the Lake Highlands area might have an easier time as they are closer to the highway. Students at the Dallas College Eastfield Campus also have an advantage as they will have quick access to the Freeway. But Dallas traffic can be unpredictable so always plan ahead in advance!


Reliant Lights looks like the ideal event for anyone looking for some fresh air and culture. And guess what else? Admission is FREE! You heard me, F-R-E-E. I can hardly wait to go! For more information, you can visit their website and plan your visit. Don’t spend the holidays dwelling on things lost and unobtained. Take the time to enjoy some music and fun with your loved ones and share in the hope of a safe holiday season and new year. 2020 is almost over and, for residents in Dallas, it’s time to shake it off and seize the moment!

There are more great reasons to enjoy living in Dallas if you’re a tech-person!  As I’ve previously mentioned, Dallas has become one of the new great tech-hubs within the country, the “new Silicon Valley” as they call it. And this is no exception when it comes to the PAY that future workers in the Dallas tech industry can look forward to!  According to a report published on January 11th by Austin-based tech company Spanning Cloud Apps LLC, workers in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area can expect more than DOUBLE their pay when they work in a tech job. DFW actually ranks fourth among the country’s largest metro areas for the pay advantage in tech fields versus all other occupations. The median annual pay for a tech-job worker in Dallas stood at $91,760 in 2019 compared to the annual pay for other occupations at $40,430. And on the heels of that, that data signifies that the area’s median tech pay is actually 127 PERCENT higher than the median pay for all other occupations! Whew, ...
