Downtown Dallas, featuring the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge

[@nosesmasher]

As an European fascinated by the US since childhood I'm always amazed by the fantastic road infrastructure found even in the most unexpected places, not only in/around cities. Maybe one day I will be able to visit this country. Thanks for your videos, I've watched them all. Regards from Romania, Europe.

[@g1cast-ReginaToday]

I enjoyed it very much. Its like a show and tell. Thanks for slowing down along the bridge.

[@Freewayjim]

Good stuff, nice timing, overall nicely produced, thumbs up!

[@JasnoGT]

Awesome video HWM with great timed music and editing. Great view of my city. Thank You!

[@THEadrimoniy]

WOW! that view from the "flip" side (with the skyline in the background) is awesome! Thanks for the video!

[@TheSolarcatcher]

Nice video Brian. It's something about that track that gives it a "Vacation"-like feel.

[@zachmatt3]

What a classy looking city! From photos I've seen, it looks even sharper now in 2017.

[@socarboy]

Great job Brian showcasing a beautifully arced bridge in The Big D

[@fluteislife7433]

this makes me wanna cry. I just went to dallas not to long ago. I miss it 😯😯😢

[@cochrab]

+flute is life Thanks for watching, hopefully you can go back someday soon!

[@JMMT7022801]

I'm going to Dallas in April. I'm so stoked.

[@skidmark9863]

I go there all the time since I live like 2hrs away from there (Houston)

[@MatthewTRader]

That was interesting and cool. I like all the little info you put about the bridge. I didn't know that about her dying the day construction started.

[@booklover651]

Cool video and bridge. Looks quite different compared to the opening shots in the old Dallas TV series. I haven't checked out the new one yet. Somehow I'd rather not mess with my memories LOL.

[@InterstateKyle]

Probably your best video to date Brian! I filed a complaint on that guy who stole one of your videos by the way to help.

[@DFW_Productions]

The dramatic music as they pass the fallen traffic sign on the bridge LOL😂

[@danclark6769]

Awesome man. Pure Awesome.

[@cochrab]

Beautiful City, always a pleasure to visit. Thanks for watching!

[@jaidenbikerbear]

Fantastic....i enjoy your vids. U should get paid especially if this is your had you use to travel!!! I also live in Dallas!

[@cochrab]

Thank you very much! I'd love to find a way to make a living doing these videos but alas, that is not the way of it. I'm not paid for making these but it's a way of sharing what I'd be doing anyway...

[@jaidenbikerbear]

Well thats awesome that you enjoy entertaining others for no pay but i wish it wasnt that way

[@cochrab]

I agree, but I'd be taking these trips anyway so I figure why not film them? Thanks again!

[@jaidenbikerbear]

Your very welcum!! But i see haha. Thats smart

[@cochrab]

Thanks Kristophere, I thought the song choice fit and knew I had to use it. Kind of a fun ride through the "Big D".

[@patmelton43]

This is fun. It feels like I'm being reckless while I sit at my computer. Great Fun.

[@gurra1351]

Is it just me or does everyone have new fancy cars? I guess they are rich in Dallas ;) Thx for the video :)

[@cochrab]

Thank you

[@cochrab]

If you're referring to my intro, it's taken from a song called "Makin' Whoopie" by Eric Johnson

[@cochrab]

@booklover651 Thank you very much. I used to watch that Dallas intro before I'd ever been there and wonder what it was like. I agree with you about the "new" Dallas, some things are better left as they were. Thanks for posting.

[@cochrab]

Nothing wrong with that! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@tamiasthechipmunk]

awesome piece of infrastructure

[@Buzzkut37]

Beautiful !

[@cochrab]

***** Thank you!

[@davemaglish247]

latecomer to the video it was really good

[@cochrab]

@Jimmy Harper Thank you very much! I have lots of material from all over the country, and more videos will be coming.

[@cochrab]

@Freewayjim Many thanks Jim, always means a lot coming from you!

[@cochrab]

@Matthew T Rader Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed my little bits of info I put in there.

[@cochrab]

@g1cast Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.

[@cochrab]

Hi Chris, let me try to answer your questions: 1: In my opinion, "real time" driving videos are boring. Videos shot in "real time" appear slower on video and most people do not have the attention span to enjoy them. 2: Simply a protective measure. If YT has stopped enforcing copyright then that's a good thing! 3: To be honest, I didn't know there was a demand for videos that long. Perhaps one day I will do something longer. Thank you for watching! -Brian

[@JMMT7022801]

I'm going to Dallas in April. How's the weather around that time of year?

[@simplymakayla3327]

JMMT7022801 Texas it’s hot

[@cochrab]

I said that "real time" videos APPEAR slower when presented in video format (just my opinion). Driving is in no way boring to me and I really don't care to argue with you about it. If you enjoy my videos, great and thank you for watching. If you do not, feel free not to watch them.

[@cochrab]

@InterstateKyle Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for the complaint against afamchannela! :)

[@cochrab]

@gurra1351 Yep, lots of nice cars in Dallas. Thanks for watching!

[@shannonm75]

I still have not been across that thing.

[@cochrab]

Thank you!

[@oreodogdfw]

my hometown Dallas :)

[@cochrab]

Thank you for watching!! May blessings be returned to you!!

[@j12torts]

Looks cleaner than LA

[@shannonm75]

Strange as it may seem Dallas has some great, clean areas and the rest of it gets pretty gross.

[@yelou]

Thanks you for the video :)

[@cochrab]

You're welcome, thank you for watching!

[@cochrab]

@CAMINOANDALUZ Thank you very much!

[@cochrab]

@bsdpowa The annotations are there because I'm telling a story. I don't want you to turn them off. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@cochrab]

@socarboy Thanks Scott!

[@cbcrog]

Dallas seems like such a cool place. Only thing keeping me away is the weather. Not a big fan of tornados

[@cbcrog]

I live in Tennessee so we get them here. One hasnt actually hit my town since 1998. But March-April is my least favorite time of year

[@captaineccentricity5333]

Same here I'd love to move back but summer is near unbearable.

[@JasnoGT]

+cbcrog Lived in Dallas all my life. Only tornado we had in city limits (that I can remember) was in 2010. Tornados are not frequent. You'd be lucky to ever see one.

[@cowboywrestler263]

Yeah that's only bad thing about the whole Dallas area, Tornadoes, Hail and oh yeah the fucking heat in the summer.

[@cochrab]

@THEadrimoniy Thanks!

[@graymikep64]

Kickass

[@cochrab]

Michael Gray Thank you!

[@graymikep64]

Sweet

[@ChrisRoadWarrior]

3 Qs please: 1) What's the attraction/need for TIME-LAPSE driving videos when in real life nobody lives and drives in FF mode? 2) Why are you so afraid of copyrighted music (as per your own 'About' profile) when YT has stopped enforcing the copyright rule maybe 2 years ago? I have ~600 videos and 95% of them have at least one copyright claim per video. 3) Why you don't U/L longer videos, 20, 30, 40 min long? /watch?v=BRC815MoKco Thank you very much and drive safely. Chris

[@love4lust7301]

Are we there yet

[@cochrab]

love4lust7301 Not if I can help it, I want to keep rolling!

[@northstar68]

Nice!

[@cochrab]

Thanks!

[@thederppie98]

my sister to call the triangle looking building the diamond building xD

[@cochrab]

You watched the video...

[@patmelton43]

These drivers are too sane -- this must not really be Dallas.

[@willdog3]

For real, I never see them this civilized lol

[@JasnoGT]

Probably a Sunday. Of course this was 5 years ago.

What's happened to the video ?...

[@julionarbaiza8999]

i live un uptown dallas

[@captaineccentricity5333]

They building a shut ton of 20-30 story buildings. Ill take it but, I'd much prefer an 80 story building to 5 20 story buildings.

[@JasnoGT]

+Captain Eccentricity They're coming. oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/searchAction.jsp?action=displayOECase&oeCaseID=261961202&row=0%C2%A0

[@willdog3]

They want to keep buildings low because of Love Field, but thats not gonna last. Dallas is getting too crowded and needs to build up and down (rumors of a subway being planned) and adding taller buildings. Current downtown wont change much, but there is a lot of cheap land just south of I30 that they will eventually turn into massive skyscrapers. It makes sense too, because its on the opposite side of downtown from Love Field. So its the next logical place for them to build. Thats what I have heard anyways.

[@JasnoGT]

Sir when reading your post its like I wrote it. Great minds think alike. haha. Yes, we have 4 bldgs currently U/C or just topping out at 30 stories or more. We have 2x 40 stories (40 & 46) that just got approved for downtown. Yes they are building UP because we are getting dense. Expect more low to midrises all over the city (already happening) and eventually 25-30+stories towers in random places. It will spill over into the southside eventually. West Dallas first its looks like. I heard about the subway idea. Bring it! And let's see if Perot can bring us a new skyscraper. He looks to be trying his best.

[@willdog3]

Yeah, and Love Field can fly in and out from the north, so in my opinion they should be able to build as high as they want south of the airport anyways. Love field just likes having a runway facing south.

[@cochrab]

I prefer the south, but it depends on what you like. I'll tell you with absolute certainty that NOTHING can compare with the west (confining my comments to the Continental United States).

[@WayToManyAssassins]

air is cleaner than l.a

[@lieberocker18]

They should if invested that money into fixing I35!!! It's ridiculous how there's holes every exit!!

[@assaultislove]

That bridge to nowhere looks so stupid

[@IsaacOrtizEsteban]

it just happened to bring more investment to west dallas

[@assaultislove]

They could've built a regular ass bridge to do that! There were mostly apartments and strip malls from what I saw, so it didn't seem as if there was much "investment". However, Uptown was a shitty slum 30 years ago and its much nicer now, so here's to hoping.

[@IsaacOrtizEsteban]

assaultislove lol of course its not like that YET. I keep up with development projects in dallas and there is a lot of money going to be poured in soon. A lot of the old strip malls are already bought with future plans to redevelop them into higher density mixed use. There is the sylvan thirty development finishing up and the trinity groves project going strong. the bridge was just finished in 2012 it will take more time to see big changes dude. uptown wasn't noticeably different in 3 years it took decades.

[@IsaacOrtizEsteban]

assaultislove and yes they could have built a normal bridge but think long term whenever that other side becomes a much better area (which it will because developers are looking into new areas since uptown is almost already filled up) then the bridge won't look "stupid". btw i know its hard to tell Through here but i am in no way trying to fight or getting defensive lol i am just an urban enthusiast and hopeful that one day dallas will have a strong urban core which in my opinion it is going towards that direction

[@assaultislove]

Isaac Ortiz I understand where you're coming from, because Dallas certainly needs it

[@mightymousejuanpablo2078]

see it at night

[@gilcromeens3788]

I'm certainly not homesick for that hateful slab of cement and type-A contrivances.

[@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333]

I don't live in Dallas. But the citizens aren't the same as normal Texans.

[@ChrisRoadWarrior]

Per #1, but time lapse driving videos reflect a world that DOES NOT EXIST, right? Also if you think driving your car, always in real time, right?, is boring, why driving at all, right? It sounds rather like you're forced to drive, against your own will, and b/c you have no choice but to drive at least change the way real life looks like, right? Yes I know, time lapse driving videos: way more attractive for very young viewers who are not allowed to drive but love cyberspace speeding, right?

[@popiews1]

who cares about this dang bridge.

[@Rapture582]

such an awful place
