Last night, while considering a trip to Dallas, Texas, I got on Google Maps to see the location of the Magnolia Hotel in downtown.
I began to notice the number of airports listed on the map and it seemed like quite a lot. So this morning, I did a quick survey.
I count 22 separate airports within 40 miles (or so) of downtown Dallas. Twenty-two, and I have no illusion that this is a complete list.
Who needs a car anymore, I ask you?
