totheskies Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Eventhough it wasn't at a very active part of the day (Sunday morning) and I was short on time, I tried to do my best... Oak Cliff... this is now my favorite Dallas neighborhood. I had never been here, but a friend of mine from DalMet told me I have to go and see it when I came up. He was totally right... Yep, "awkward" contemporary art just sitting out in front of someone's house... it's like I'm home again Whoa another Hunky's!! Apparently Oak Lawn doesn't get all of the fun And last, but not least... downtown This is where the term "Katy Trail" comes from... a popular place name in Texas. It's the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad Thanks for viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porchman Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Some nice pics. I particularly like this one. In my mind, it seems to define the Dallas. It's old style. It's modern style. It's location on the NTex plains. Oh, what is this building? It's rather cool. And I was about to post when I saw the "don't flame" warning. (Funny, this doesn't appear over pictures of Ottawa.) I like Dallas. I think it's a great city. On walks, I've enjoyed walking many of the old neighborhoods of which totheskies posted pics in this thread. "Don't flame"...what do you think we are, some pissant forum like SSF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebus Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 This is where the term "Katy Trail" comes from... a popular place name in Texas. It's the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad I've always known it as the MKT Railroad. Thanks for the pics though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's location on the NTex plains. I must say---I do also really like this pic. It's definitely got that feel of big city on the plains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strickn Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 -- What was this post to highlight (I'm curious)? "In my mind, it seems to define the Dallas. It's old style. It's modern style. It's location on the NTex plains."Nice, and it may be more than style too. The buildings down the left hand are the Adolphus, the Magnolia Co. (later Mobil) Bldg, and the Mercantile National Bank (only U.S. skyscraper built during WWII). Across the frame on the right is AT&T's fresh head office. Into the 1970s Houston's ole bidness had lots of downstream employment and usually exploration management but little to no major multinational headquarters operations. They were still in NYC, LA, SF, Tulsa, Chicago and Cleveland. Likewise, during the 1990s and 00s North Texas was a real hotspot for telecom specialties, but in executive terms had only TI and the U.S. base for Nortel really to show for it. Dallas watchers may be hoping that just as style, petroleum and banking/insurance clusters highlit the city during its 20th century growth phase, so also will telecommunications headquarters begin to stream in during the 21st. Perhaps this shot depicts that prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxDave Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 This could be a metaphor for life itself. That is a great photo, but as a Dallas resident, could someone tell me where it is located? I would love to visit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strickn Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 That is a great photo, but as a Dallas resident, could someone tell me where it is located? I would love to visit!I ate there in late December, and not on a night with mariachis. I wasn't really paying attention to the food, but I remember it being along or near Jefferson in or near Winnetka Heights. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernie5823 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 If I'm remembering right, the "Fiestas, Mariachis Y Cabritos" building was originally the home of Red Bryans BarBQ. Building is on south side of Jefferson, a bit east of Winnetka Heights, near the old Texas Theater, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
