Texas Tea - Don't take photos

Whenever you travel, everyone always says "Now be careful of New Orlean's, they have 200 murders a year there." and "Now, be careful of New York, there's pick pockets about and it's a big place and easy to get lost there". All I can say to these particular claims, is "Crap!". How about not repeating like a parrot what you hear on the news, cos the media twists and distorts everything! Those places were fine, I mean New Orlean's is a little full on and New York is in your face, but no onesaid anything about Dallas, Texas!

Holy crap, I was walking around this place guarding my every move, I'm waiting for the next mugger to jump out at me and this was during broad baylight. Calmly walking back from the JFK museum and I have cars slowing right down to my walking pace right next to me! These gangsters had Snoop pumping in their pimp mobile and they were seeing if I was worth the hassle of mugging. I kept walking and taking pictures of some cool skyscrapers around the place and I've come to the Bank of America headquarters and I'm snapping away only to hear this voice speak out over the loudspeaker at the entrance saying "If you continue to take pictures of the building, we will call the police and you will be arrested!". Ok, so they're camera shy I thought, and went up to the intercom and said "Oh, sorry" and kept moving only to think how paranoid America really is. Then I see this huge bug tall black guy down the street and I've just taken some more pics of a few other sights and this guy raises his arms and yells out to me "Oi!" and starts running in my direction. I can only guess that he's seen my shiny camera and wants a go, or maybe he wanted to run to give me directions, not likely. So I picked up the pace and flat out bolted around the streets of Dallas, Texas and finally found Elm St, this was familiar to me and I knew my hotel was somewhere nearby, so I'm still running and I see the entrance like the holy grail and swiftly went inside to avoid getting mugged, bashed or killed by the scary huge black guy.
