Dallas is characterized by its paradoxical identity as a "city with no limits" and "no history," despite being the ninth largest city in the U.S. Known for the Dallas Cowboys and the iconic television series that celebrated themes of self-invention and success, it also carries the weight of historical events like the assassination of John F. Kennedy. This complex blend of cultural significance and identity crisis makes Dallas a unique subject in the American landscape, highlighting its substantial yet elusive presence in the national consciousness.
