I grew up in Oak Cliff. Fun Fact: At one point, Oak Cliff was a separate town and very upscale. The commercial area around Jefferson Blvd is the old main street or "old Downtown" area of Oak Cliff (from Beckley and Jefferson to Jefferson and Polk/Tyler). It covers 10 continuous blocks or 1 mile in length. At its peak, it looked like the main street area of a small city with department stores (like Sears and JCPenney) and many other retail stores (like Zales Jewelry and Kress) in the 70s. It was equivalent to the mall before the enclosed mall became a thing. The Texas Theater is one of the remaining historic landmarks on Jefferson and is where Lee Harvey Oswald was found after the assassination of JFK. Also, the Bishop Arts District use to be the busiest streetcar stop in Dallas during the 1930s.

[@danielleslater2317]

My family went to Dallas to eat lunch at Celebration Cafe, and we drove through Downtown Dallas, the Bishop Arts District, and Oak Cliff afterwards. It was the best day out ever!

[@joseyeastwood]

You literally passed the movie theater Lee Harvey Oswald dipped into to hide from the police and was captured great vlog.

[@kubazenigma2587]

I used to live in Oak Cliff in the early 1980s. We used to go shopping for things at Eckerds Drug store that used to be there on Jefferson. Happy times.

[@johnhopkins2411]

Great video...I grew up in O.C. went to Jeff Davis, T.W. Brown & graduated from in 1970. 5 years ago I had to move to Boerne down in the Texas Hill Country...and it's real neat down here but watching this video makes me so " home sick " and so want t move back " Home " to the old hood.....

I grew up in the OC and left over 22 years ago due to the crime and it hasn't changed. It's more dangerous to live there now.

[@stormageddondarklordofall4733]

Oooh this is amazing!!! I was brought up off Clarendon y Hampton. I'm displaced and in Colorado. This Oak Cliff gal cld deff use this always. I love my hood ---I beg you to do more of these. this is my childhoods...

[@kathylucas6587]

Charco Broiler(The Cow) was a favorite place my parents liked to eat. We ate there too many times to count in the 70’s. Good food!

[@tonycole5209]

It's still there and doing well.

My cousin worked for years at Stamps-Baxter Music and Printing on Tyler Street. Those were the days.

[@eduardomzamudiol9288]

Grow up part my life in this neighborhood i wish I can go back i miss Dallas!

[@ian2372]

Oak Cliff was always a rough neighborhood when I was growing up in Dallas as a kid. Lots of gang shootings and murder there.

[@dj_lilchopp]

You should have drove by on a late Sunday afternoon. Lots to see

[@darianfazeli3744]

What kind of camera setup do you use for these drives

[@kingsaul9406]

Did y'all see that car disappear I thought My eyes went bad

[@thawk214]

This is the outskirts of oakcliff not the heart of it. I’ve grown up in Dallas and Overton rd, Beckley rd,Kiest and Polk rd, that’s the heart of it.

😂Is Irving a part of the Dallas regian?

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Yes

[@mommyalyssa98]

Irving is it's own city. So no. It's not a part of Dallas. It's a part of the DFW metroplex.

[@myronbelger4180]

Doesn't look like a bad area to me???

[@ronmc1887]

FOSHO it doesn't look bad when not even ROLLN through NONE of the HOODZ he jus ROLLN on the WESTSIDE where all the ESSAYZ located

[@Alpine7163]

@@ronmc1887 If you knew your history you would know that was considered the downtown area of Oak Cliff before it became part of Dallas. Wtf are they teaching these misinformed kids these days in school?

Neither does Compton...

[@S.K.Smith-Green]

@@Alpine7163Not everyone knows Oak Cliff history, dearie 🙄 sure as hell isn’t taught in Texas schools, much less world history classes

[@prettykitty5416]

@@victor75208yes it does. Many parts of Compton are ran down with cracked roads and homeless people pushing carts down the street. You can VISIBLY see some parts of Compton are bad….this place here looks like and clean though 🤷‍♀️.

[@ronmc1887]

Yeah!! BRUH drove through the lame partz of the Cliff FOSHO!!!! Where itz not HOOD at all

[@Alpine7163]

It says drive through oak cliff neighborhoods, not drive through the shitholes of oak cliff neighborhoods.

[@kinglock6418]

Funny part about it this ain’t real Oak Cliff

[@214dude2]

What’s not real about it? The video shows the original part of Oak Cliff. Everything else in Oak Cliff was built much later.

[@Alpine7163]

@@214dude2 He's obviously misinformed by the idiots who are trying to change the face of Oak Cliff. If he knew his history he would know that was considered the downtown area of Oak Cliff before it became part of Dallas. Wtf are they teaching these misinformed kids these days in school?

You. Showed. The. Bad. Part. Of. The. Cliff. Shame. On. You

[@VisualMotion214]

Definitely not the real oak cliff

[@214dude2]

Oak Cliff varies depending on where you are. North Oak Cliff generally always been the better part. All of Oak Cliff isn’t the same across the board. Some parts are hood and parts aren’t. Everyone who grew up in Oak Cliff, didn’t grow up in the slums.

[@Alpine7163]

[@dallashotz4716]

What a ride. Thank you. I grew up on McLain Ave, just off Westmoreland. I've been so homesick lately and this ride has helped some. I sure miss my home state. There isn't a state out here that can compare to what we have in Texas. There are beautiful states and nice folks, but we Texans are just a special breed of folk. Thanks agin and I'll look forward to another ride one day....❤
