8mm reel of Dallas' Northpark Center in Christmas of 1965, the year the mall opened. No sound.

I remember as a kid running up those sloped flower beds and watching the ducks in the low level ponds. Its beauty has withstood time. It’s still fun to visit even today. ❤

Geez I was just there yesterday. It looks exactly the same just with different stores. It’s nice to see that the mall is still bustling today

The fully integrated circuit had already been patented by Jack Kilby, a Texas Instrument engineer in 1958 in Richardson. He and two other TI engineers would invent the hand-held calculator in two years (1967). The ATM was patented in 1969 in Irving. Dallas was an engineering town back then.

so weird seeing the now deceased roaming around, they also laughed, cried, got angry became anxious and scared and now all those worries, dreams, ambitions, thoughts and ideas are sealed away and taken with them, lets cherish life friends how we are they once were how they are we will become.
