A little fast with the pics and I wish there were captions to say what they are. While some are obvious, many are no and I have lived in OC for 66 years, Born and raised. Of course I do know a lot. But what are the houses?

It's funny how in most Oak Cliff videos they show only the northwest side and not South or East Oak Cliff. Bishop Arts, Jefferson, and Wynnewood weren't the only parts of Oak Cliff, that's a pretty big place starting at 45 South. Great video, I'm from Oak Cliff and though I recognize many of these locations it's just because Oak Cliff, not where I grew up.

Exactly, I'm from BFL, which would be considered Cedar Crest by Dallas records. They never talk about The Original OC off of 45 formally known as Hords Ridge, I'm not just talking it's documented.

A lot of memories there of the way it used to be in The Cliff. Sadly,some of those places have gone away in recent years,the Jefferson Drive-In,El Fenix on Colorado,Bronco Bowl,Austins Bar-B-Q,Alamo Plaza Motor Courts,(though one might argue it was really in West Dallas??) Astro Drive-In,Crest Theater,Tejano Restaurant,the Midway Auto Supply stores (there were once three of them,the one shown was @ Clarendon & Hampton?) have all gone away in recent years. And as for some of the other sights,the buildings are still there (like most of the other theaters shown) but are no longer in use as such.

I remember getting dressed up in our sunday best to go shopping on 12th Street. Had Easter egg hunts in Kiest Park, shopped at Wynnewood and redeemed many trading stamps at the special store at Hampton and Illinois. Such memories.

I'm glad that I'm old enough to remember, and visit all of these Monumental Buildings on this picture, Like Crest Theater which is now Sav-A-Lot,Wynnewood Theater which is now torn down, Jefferson Drive-In, Austins Barbeque, every Building that's featured I grew up seeing, and visiting, especially Polar Bear Ice Cream, Treasure City, Lancaster-Kiest Shopping Center, all the above. Mannnnnnn life was BEAUTIFUL growing up in Oak Cliff, South Oak Cliff, South Dallas, The Bottom which is now called the Tenth Street District, Love It!, See, everything back was just simple, and PURE fun, not like Today. They didn't show South Oak Cliff High School, Records Barbeque, Church's Chicken, Jim Dandy's etc.., alot of places were left out, especially Downtown.

Anybody remember Genie's Bishop Grill on Bishop St. You had to eat with strangers but you didn't mind. Best home cooking I've ever had. People would drive from all over Dallas County to eat there. Sometimes the line would stretch out the door, down the sidewalk and around the corner. Genie shared some cooking tips with me that I still use today.

Born and raised in Oak Cliff. My home town. Tons of memories. Thanks for the video. As a kid I would ride the bus to Jefferson St. (downtown Oak Cliff) and spend all day there. Took in a double feature and some cartoons at the Texas Theatre. Get in for 35 cents. If I had $1.50 I could eat real well from the snack bar.

I wish they had pictures of the old Ronald Reagan Elementary school building and inside too, it was nice. As soon as you walked in, the old Ronald Reagan Elementary school had big double stairs in the center and halls down both sides and the cafeteria was in the back. It was a big building and the playing field was very tall from the side walk. It had an old but beautiful gym. It had many secret compartments or rooms. You couldn't see people on the field from the street. As you walked on the field the further you went, when you go straight out into the field, it was elevated higher than the sidewalk, so the fence that surrounded it, kept you from falling off the side. At the very end of the field, it was a whole story higher than the street and we had to run down the hills to the corners of the fence because there was entrances or gaps at each corner of the fence and it was all grass and it was beautiful. The office was the first door on the left and that was linked to the kindergarden class. The building was tall and had many rooms, it had 3 floors and a basement. I had good times at that school.

Oak Cliff memory: CHRISTINE BAIN worked as a waitress for many years at Stan's Country Kitchen in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas, Texas (she lived on Highcrest near Greenspan). Her husband, Don Bain, was a World War II veteran and was the ROTC teacher at Sunset High until he died from a heart attack in early 1961, leaving her to raise a young daughter and son, Pegi and Donnie. Pegi and Donnie attended the same school as Officer Tippit's son (the policeman killed by Lee Harvey Oswald after the JFK assassination). Chris knew and told a lot of good jokes and made great tips at work as a waitress (often $50-$100 per day). Chris was close friends with a man named Sam Pike who had a car repair business in Oak Cliff. A heavy smoker, Chris died in early 1986.
