CLYDE BARROW’S Dallas Childhood (number 1)

[@Spenner56]

I think it is wonderful that you go into so much detail while also never taking your eye off of the "big picture". Keep up the good (and important) work.

[@dallastx214]

Growing up here, i drove by that station many of times. It was pretty cool seeing history of Bonnie and Clyde

[@jamieryall8341]

How about doing a segment on John Dillinger? I've been to Mooresville, Indiana & the museum in Hammond. Love your videos.

[@MRomann]

I enjoyed how accurate your video is. I’ve read lots of info on Bonnie and Clydes life and noticed how there’s lots of right and wrong facts about them. To me they were very misunderstood by people. And were trying to get thru their last days for as long as they could. I live in Dallas and i had a chance to see the gas station home in 2020. I also got to see the inside thru a broken window and there was wooden floors and saw a bedside table

[@Karenklutz]

My grandpa was a sharecropper. They never had enough money for a camera or to have pictures taken. I would kill for a picture of my dad at 16. His family lived in Louisiana at the same time Clyde lived in Texas. It was worse. Enjoyed your video. It gave me insight into how my dad lived.

[@littlemikeism]

Agreed. My Father was in northern Alabama. He was born in 1932, and the first picture taken of him was in 1948. No cameras around. If so destitute, why so many pictures of the family? Maybe because they were in a city versus the rural areas?

[@MMorbid]

@@littlemikeism I’m sure the camera did not belong to Clyde’s parents. It likely belonged to older siblings, some of whom were in much better shape than their parents.

[@marcuslunsford9929]

So sad the filling station was eliminated. Not sure how or why the owners of the property would destroy such a very significant piece of American history ...

[@cz4182]

It's about money. That area of where the station was is being gentrified to turn into over priced cookie cutter homes for the rich and these developers are offering a lot of money for the land that people own.

[@tomr3422]

the area is being re-developed land values are sky rocketing. What is sad is the people that claimed to want to preserve the property have had so much time to purchase the property which was really cheap for a very long time ( I grew up about 4 miles from there) and did nothing. I guess wanting to and actually putting your own money into it is different.

[@katrice8063]

It was turned into a sub shop . Now it's a condom sense. I haven't seen much success in anything after filling station

[@Whotfuthinkyouis]

Eliminated ?????

[@Dayna-Punky]

Hi! I'm from Midlothian Tx just south of Dallas. We are known as the Cement Capital of Texas. This is a fascinating series. My mom worked on the town square of Lancaster Tx. Bonnie and Clyde robbed the bank on the square and the vault and safe were there for years and years. In 1994 a tornado tore down the building that was the bank. I am sad to not know where the safe is now located.

[@keith2o9]

I was just watching another youtuber's video of the gas pump house taken a few years ago, and then came your video. So sad that they demolished the property. It would've been nice to preserve that piece of history.

[@MMorbid]

It absolutely breaks my heart, and there was no shortage of people who wanted to save it, but the owner wanted it gone and found a way to make it happen. It’s so sad. Thank you for watching.

I have talked to some people in my old church that I used to go about Bonnie and Clyde and heard stories of how Bonnie and Clyde were walking close to their relatives and the relatives being scared of them because they knew who they were and many times after they had robbed banks as well.

I'm from west dallas and Clyde and Franks's old house is 8 blocks from my childhood home...Big, big ups to them Barrow boys....deuces

[@RussellTurman]

Cool video thanks for sharing. While interesting, the site had been vacant and dilapidated for decades. It was even suggested that I could be moved and no one wanted to do it. I think it's unfair that sometimes the property owner gets blamed when the reality is the public simply didn't value the site as historically significant.

[@jackohobo674]

Someone may have already pointed this out, but the gas pumps were at the end of that awning. They located them there so that if it was raining, customers could pull under it and their tanks filled without getting soaked. You can just make out those old cylindrical pumps and their hoses on the old picture you superimposed, I think. Excellent series, M.M.

[@MMorbid]

Yes, I was just hoping evidence of them would still be visible in the ground, but sadly everything was gone without a trace.

[@kl3620]

[@sandraphillips5091]

@@MMorbid Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed in Louisiana by the Texas Rangers so they were out of their area of authority. Bonnie and Clyde should have been given a chance to surrender peacefully ("put down the weapons and come out with your hands up"), but didn't get the chance to have a fair trial.

[@BREXTON]

I love your videos on the Barrow Gang.

[@DenitaArnold]

That's so sad that that Barrow station was torn down. It's history. My parents grew up in the Depression. I can't imagine how life was back then. My dad grew up in Dallas, where the black neighborhoods are now

[@josephquillian2866]

I always understood that Clyde’s family - when they first moved to Dallas - had their camp near Sylvan Ave. and Commerce Street. There is a field there and a little bridge over which the train ran.

[@MMorbid]

This location was highlighted in an article describing B&C locations in Dallas. It might have even been affiliated with a Dallas paper. It seemed pretty legit, they interviewed a B&C biographer.

The school Clyde went to was called Sydney Lanier Elementary School when I was a teacher in Dallas ISD from 1982 to 2008. I don’t know if it had another name when Clyde attended that school.

No relation, really, but I like to joke about my "Aunt Bonnie". They've always fascinated me, and your insights bring a greater understanding of who they really were, versus how they are portrayed by Hollywood. Another aspect I am intrigued by is Clyde's expertise with firearms and his affinity for the Browning Automatic Rifle (military version).

[@DrOlds7298]

One of my aunts knew the Barrow family,and by default 'your' Aunt. When I asked her about the '67 movie,the first thing she said was 'They're both too tall!!' (The actors who portrayed them)

[@ronvitale1944]

Very detailed story’s.

[@bonniebrewster7454]

The station still stands to this day and was deemed a historical site by the city of Dallas. Bonnie's high school was just up the street from the station on bernal st. at singleton blvd. Born and raised in west Dallas for 68 yrs.

After watching the Bonnie and Clyde movie which came out when I was 3 years old and asked if they were real people and found that they were. I went to the libraries and collected a lot of information on them and found out they were far more sinister than what the movie portrayed that they were. I also shared this information with other people in my church who remembered them at that time and now many of them have gone home to be with Christ in Heaven. Sadly Bonnie and Clyde were killed and both now burn in hell forever for their crimes so crime does not pay.

Is it true that jail changed him I heard a lot of stories of his first murder was when he was in prison and that serious crimes didn’t start till he left and it’s because he wanted revenge for the awful conditions he suffered in Eastham prison farm

[@MMorbid]

Yes, that is true. He was brutalized in prison. He dreamed of doing a raid on Eastham to free everybody and was willing to do anything to never go back, including killing police officers. While his dream of raiding Eastham never happened, the jail break he pulled off did lead to reforms of the prison system. He brought just enough attention to the conditions there to at least begin some improvements. I want to cover that topic at some point but I’d like to actually go there, so I’m hoping I can get back to Dallas at some point. There are still numerous sites I didn’t have time for.

As a former Texas corrections officer who worked at Eastham State Farm, Clyde was no angel. Nor a victim of circumstances. He was a psychopath that murdered innocent fathers and sons. You’re trying to justify the murder of hard working laborers by saying they were wasting there time actually working there way up from the bottom. My family were dirt farmers in Georgia and oddly enough somehow made a good enough living and we are now doctors, lawyers and military men. Please don’t justify mass murder.
