Anyone know where to look in the Dallas area (or anywhere in Texas for that matter--although lots of Oklahoma and Arkansas are closer than parts of Texas for me :) ).

Is there a site that lists these? If not, we could make a custom google map with all the locations and put comments/ratings on each one.
