Buckle Up, Buttercup: It Can Get Toasty
Dallas is no stranger to heat. We're talking temperatures that could fry an egg on your sidewalk (don't try this at home, folks, that's just not sanitary). On average, the city bakes under the sun for around 20 days where the mercury pushes past the 100-degree mark.
