"Nuestro Oak Cliff" Documentary

[@JoseAlvarez-zi8qg]

I welcome the rebuilding and renewing of the streets, but don't tear down the old houses, rebuild and refurbish them. Restore them to their original glory. These new structures they're building are unattractive and look out of place.

[@firstlast-pq1tx]

Same thing in houston, beautiful southern homes and buildings are being replaced with ugly tacky modern houses that looks like barbie doll toys, disgraceful 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@MrBravo214]

This is an awesome documentary!

I wish they talked about other areas of oakcliff. Does anyone know what the old Arcadia Park area was considered back in 2001? I always thought of it as the edge of loop 12.

[@paulgardner5079]

west loop 12, jeffrerson, davis etc.....Im originally from Mountian view which is close to Illinois

[@kelleyotto4714]

Arcadia Park doesn't have such a great reputation right now but hopefully they will redevelop it soon

I know this documentary was based on oak cliff but do you have more or know of more that goes back further than oak cliff. I mean to the average person it might seem that a bunch of Mexicans just fell out of the sky into oak cliff in the 60s, when in reality the blood goes back way before whites and blacks showed up.

[@CiscoSZR]

When the white men showed up after the civil war, there were only Indians present. Indians and Mexicans didn't mix and actually hated each other. It would of been very rare to see a Mexican around. Good question.

[@Rocky-ji6cj]

@@CiscoSZR Indians and Mexicans are the same people.

[@ivanluna7352]

​@@Rocky-ji6cj Not every Mexican is indigenous. Some Mexicans till this day have predominantly white blood, either from Spain or European migrants that later came to Mexico. White is the second most common skin color after brown/tan in Mexico.

Wow I always knew Oak cliff Dallas was a Black Neighborhood, also knew it was a white first, didn't know there was a early Latino presence

[@jaysrandomnesschannel]

What???!🤔 Man Oak Cliff has 32+ neighborhoods...the hell you talking about "black neighborhood"?🤦🏾‍♂️

[@mikecervantes-je8bl]

Shit I grew up in oak cliff in 89 to 2008 but it ain’t the same no more , mf that ain’t from the cliff makin money off of it I don’t yell out oak cliff no more I rep the 90s oakcliff

[@soupwifey]

I hate it when historical homes and buildings are demolished and big square box buildings are put in their places. I agree with revitalization of old homes. I love the architecture and the intricate character of old houses and buildings. New buildings lack those esthetics.

Beautiful documentary, my grandparents move to Oakcliff in 1964, my dad graduated from SOC in 1968. My grandpa was a janitor at Adamson until the mid 70s, moving from Oakcliff in 1982. My family is anglo, my uncle and his Hispanic girlfriend parished in a fire in 1978, she attempted to save his life and gave hers. We well never forget you Mona. The Oaks is a special place to so many, thanks for sharing.

If you watched Boyz in the Hood an old classic movie he educates his son how the real estate works in part of the movie they raise the value in neighborhoods that are poor and run down to move people out, then drop they drop the value so that big companies can purchase the land to build complexes, companies and businesses to bring in money. They only do that in the blacks and Mexicans communities not to the white community.

[@doctorspockARTS]

I think most of us would love to know who the indigenous people of Dallas lived.

[@BenDieseL313]

My family move to this area, Texas dr. In 1962 & Dryden dr 1963 we owned two houses there been there for generations

[@stevenk5951]

my parents bought a house on texas dr in 1967. my mom lived there until 2012

[@jaysrandomnesschannel]

Oak Cliff has over thirty two PLUS neighborhoods throughout the entire section. I love it when people from outside try to generalize it as a whole. Oak Cliff is a THIRD of Dallas total population 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@crazyje3855]

Great job.. I grew up in oakcliff and recognize some of the people that got interviewed nostalgia hit me.

[@SteveJobIess]

You set up all these shots, and these are the framing you choose?

[@TheDrewrob62]

Excellent documentary spot on!

[@kelleyotto4714]

Country Burger is Selena Burger ❤❤❤❤

[@Rocky-ji6cj]

Wow, these young lady's are very articulate and beautiful. Also i don't mean articulate like "wow" they know english, i mean like wow they know what they want and can put it in words very nicely. Proud they come from Oak Cliff. They are the voice of the future. Many thanks to all that were involved in making this possible.

[@recebaby88]

Well done!! Great video!

[@CoolBreezeAnthony]

Our family came to Oak Cliff in 1964. My father worked at Hill Optical Co. on Harwood, Downtown. We all went to Henderson, Greiner and Adamson in the 70s. I never left Oak Cliff and attend St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church on Hampton Road. I love Dallas and will live and die in Oak Cliff. Peace and Love to all of you for such a great video.

[@GranmaSam]

Did your Dad work with Willard Wills?

[@matthewgirty6569]

Thanks for the documentary, I grew up on falls drive and went to Leila P. Cowart, and this brought me back .. I feel the pain of going back home.. but it's not a reality for me as for others who were raised there. My family went to Stockard and Sunset .. Never Forget Oak Cliff!

[@ryanblum3375]

Very well done! This should have more views!

[@ponchisramos8519]

Wow this is so well done, the fact this has less than 10k is a massive injustice. I just recently moved away for the first time to study and I really hadn't realized that I miss Oakcliff this much.

[@recebaby88]

Well done !!!!
