Half way from where?
George and Myrtle Wilson live in the Valley of Ashes in the novel The Great Gatsby. George owns/works a car garage, but business has been extremely slow for him. Mr. Wilson is attempting to buy a car off Tom, but in the entire course of the novel the car is never sold to George. Myrtle is George's wife and is having an affair with Tom. She is not attractive like Daisy is, but she is said to carry herself in a sensual way. To friends of Myrtle's it is obvious that she does not love her husband, George however seems very devoted to his wife.
George Wilson reveals to Tom, Nick, and Jordan that he suspects his wife Myrtle is having an affair, as he noticed she had received a dog leash from someone. He asks about the yellow car Tom drives, which Tom denies owning.
Myrtle is completely different from the women Tom is surrounded by on a daily basis. She is an escape from his world, and perhaps makes him feel as though he is being appreciated more that he would be by women like Daisy (Tom is constantly trying to find something akin to his former glory in football). Myrtle is also described as carrying herself in a sensual way, and is therefore not a completely unattractive addition to Tom's "possessions".
The city that is half way between Dallas, TX and Myrtle Beach, SC is Mobile, AL. It is located approximately 600 miles away from either city and can be reached in 9 hours.
Myrtle Wilson's motivations in "The Great Gatsby" are primarily driven by her desire for wealth, status, and a higher social standing. She is attracted to Tom Buchanan because he represents a world of luxury and extravagance that she craves but cannot attain on her own. Myrtle's affair with Tom is a way for her to escape her mundane, lower-class existence and experience a glimpse of the glamorous life she dreams of.
Tom insists that Nick meets his mistress, Myrtle Wilson, when the train stops on their way into New York.
Shad Landing, Virginia is halfway between those two locations.
