Oak Cliff - Dallas - Texas - 4K Neighborhood Drive

[@1TewBuMyShoe]

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.

I grew up in Oak Cliff, Dallas; I'm 65 and have not lived in Dallas for some 21 years now. I didn't know about some of this history you've shared..Thanks!

[@trevorjameson3213]

@@philjerwil7 I grew up in Oak Cliff too, I'm 58 and was born at Methodist Central. I still work at an office on S. Beckley just south of I-35E that I've worked at for 39 years. Oak Cliff has improved dramatically in the past 20 years and continues to improve. No longer considered a run down or dangerous area, Oak Cliff is more vibrant and busy now than ever before and continues to improve.

[@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!

[@markpayne1789]

[@trevorjameson3213]

I still live in Oak Cliff myself, been here all my life. It has really improved in the past twenty years and has become an extremely busy and vibrant part of Dallas, and continues to improve.

[@dallatx8362]

Thank you for this ride❤

[@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.

[@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...

[@trevorjameson3213]

My childhood home town too. And I still live in Oak Cliff and work here too, always have. I love Dallas, and especially old Oak Cliff. Clarendon and Hampton is where the old Midway Auto parts used to be. It's now shut down and something else. All of old Oak Cliff still has that good old down home feel, great neighborhoods, good family people here.

[@jimmyjam26]

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

Everybody from Dallas know it's Jefferson when u see that cow. 😂 love my city

[@trevorjameson3213]

Lol.. yeah that's Charco Broiler steak house. Been there since 1963. We still eat there at least once a week, our offices are just a few blocks away. We work all over Dallas but Oak Cliff has a real hometown sort of vibe to it and we're always happy to get back across the river to Oak Cliff.

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

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.

[@trevorjameson3213]

Still there and still busy every day. I work just a couple of blocks away from there and we eat there once a week or so. Very "down home" feel to Oak Cliff, always loved it here.

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

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

[@trevorjameson3213]

That was true in the '80's, but that was a long time ago! Things have changed and Oak Cliff is a very safe and very popular place to live and visit now.

[@trevorjameson3213]

@@thejuiceman883 You're right, and it would be very difficult to convince anybody anymore that Oak Cliff is "bad". Oak Cliff has improved dramatically since the old days and there are so many new people living here now, and new places to live and work. It's a great place now, very family friendly, the people are great and it's safe and peaceful here.

[@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]

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? That is 100% the real Oak Cliff, it's just not the shithole side of O.C.

[@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....❤
