Your in my home town thanks for visiting us

[@weshay3699]

Dallas must be so cool! Thank you Joe And Nic!

[@AndreaLKL72]

Over the last couple weeks I have watched (and I got my parents & hubby hooked) tons of your travels. We love travel too. But we all find the Commentary interesting & the neighborhood & car vlog is like we’re all riding along with you. Love it!! Please make more

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Thank you, and we will. :)

[@glennbourque111]

I agree 100%

[@StepBrothers-tc7zy]

Brilliant insightful video. A great start. Bravo. STEPBROTHERS.

[@keyup2626]

I’m really enjoying your travels, you’re videos were always great fun. The new format is fantastic and super commentary. Safe travels and the best with all the adventures.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Thank you for the kind words! We're in testing phase now. In a couple weeks we'll be going full-time, and will be putting up 3 to 5 videos weekly. We plan on visiting all 50 states.

[@keyup2626]

@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip that’s really super I look so forward to it. Not being able to travel in the last year and a half has sucked. So watching your videos is like being on a wee vacation. We’re not even allowed to drive into the USA from Canada right now. We can fly in but then there’s hundreds of dollars for covid testing when we come home. If you test positive you have to spend thousands of dollars in covid hotels back here at home.

I have been bing watching your videos for the past 2 days. I have some questions for you. Where do you reside when you are not filming? Those hotels and restaurants add up. I know that you have sold your house, but, do you have any residual income coming in? You don’t want to use up the money from selling your home, you are going to need that money for your retirement. Good luck on your journey. The next time that you are in my neck of the woods, look me up. I would love to tag along with you on one of your destinations.

What a cool Aquarium-that weird fish with the mouth is a sword fish. I might watch this vid again. Thanks. Looks like you guys had a great fun day.

Lived in Dallas area for 20 years and loved seeing places I’d been. Cool format, great choice of three places to visit in big D.

[@kendallkilgore7799]

Lovely scenery!

[@martykong3592]

:) THANKS MUCH! LOVED IT! I remember many of those places I never got to living there most of the 16 years of my time in DFW. GGreat place, and much to do and see, but not so much when I was working there most of the time. ALL the BEST and safe travels! Cheers! :)

[@robertwalker387]

I’ve never been to Dallas, except to the airport to transfer planes, so thanks for showing me things I’ll probably never get to see in person. It was all very interesting, especially the JFK stuff, how they preserved it all.

[@stephenmoerlein8470]

Never been to Dallas before, but when I do go, I now know 3 places to visit! Thanks for sharing.

[@trevorjameson3213]

There are a WHOLE lot more places to go and things to see and do, besides just those three things, so keep that in mind when you come here! This is a huge, giant metro area that goes for miles and miles so it could take several trips to see all the cool stuff here.

[@dianaspy6733]

Fun Fact: I am 3rd generation Texan (Dallas) and we actually call corn dogs "corny dogs" I didn't know that the rest of the US calls them corn dogs until someone asked why I say corny dogs. Fletchers corny dogs at The State Fair of Texas invented them.

[@trevorjameson3213]

Same here! 3rd generation Dallasite! Born here, raised here, and work and play here. And yes, they are corny dogs!! Lol

Dallas is still a beautiful City

[@glennbourque111]

I enjoy your videos because they provide insights into stuff I never imagined. I lived in Dallas four months in 1971 because of a job transfer. Dallas was a disappointment compared to two large cities I had previously resided, Houston and St. Louis. That disappointment was a good thing, because I ended up in NYC and stayed 40 years (no longer there). Dallas apparently has changed a lot since I was there, as I don't recall any of the things highlighted in your tour. Makes me think I should return for a visit, even a short one. Maybe I will, as I'm planning a vacation to Houston. Keep traveling and enjoy!

[@jayne4444]

I drove a horse-drawn carriage downtown Dallas for about 10 years two decades back Best seat in the house

I grew up in Dallas, and I attended Dallas schools throughout the 60s and partial 70's. While looking at all those boxes of school books, I can't help but wonder, had I read or used any of the books during my 12 years of education? I' 'guessing, and the odds are very much in my favor, I most likely did. Dallas, despite all news reports, is a very fascinating, versatile, and urbane city. And, at 10:35, we see a sawfish at the Dallas World Aquarium. You are welcome!

[@glennbourque111]

I made a point of watching for the "sawfish" you mention. I wouldn't have know it was a sawfish - thought it was a stingray. Actually, I think the sawfish is shown at 11:00. Wow, what a strange-looking animal looking from below!

[@chocolatechipslime]

I just realized that I have been here, I have a faint memory of going to downtown Dallas around 12 years old, I didn’t know where or cared where we were but after seeing this video I recognize the inside of it and the outside where y’all walked by.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Cool! 😀

Another food invention in Dallas: German Chocolate Cake formulated by a housewife in Parkdale/Pleasant Grove who submitted the recipe to The Dallas Morning News in 1957.

I was there that day. I was 4 and I was born at Baylor hospital in 1959. We lived in the suburbs but had to go Dallas to get my shots, so I was at Baylor that day and I asked my mom why were there so many people on the streets. By the time we got home to Garland he’d been shot .

35 state capitol buildings, the Old City Hall in Dallas, the Morton H Meyerson Symphony Center, the Pentagon, the Empire State Building, and many others are built with stone from two counties in Indiana. One of those counties is also the birthplace to THREE astronauts, and has a preserved pioneer village from 1818 complete with a functioning grist mill. If you ever head to southern Indiana, you are welcome to reach out to me, and I can provide you tons of info that should make for some great video. Either way, my wife and I love your videos!

I came to Dallas for the first time when I was 8 years old. We were coming from NE Louisiana to Six Flags, which ofcourse is in Arlington. We did tour downtown Dallas. One year later, in 1963, I'm sitting in my living room at home, watching the horrible event of the day, the assassination of President Kennedy. As a 9 year old, it was surreal, realizing that I had been in that very place. Fast forward to 1975, I'm grown, married, and one baby in tow, and moving to Glen Rose south of Dallas. My husband helped to build the nuclear power plant there. I worked in the Mary Kay business for awhile. Just curious...is the big gold Mary Kay tower still downtown? The skyline has certainly changed. I was in Dallas for the last time in 2004.

Kennedy shooting ; I was in 1st grade the teachers had us all go into the hall and sit down. we were then sent home. My friend came over to my house and we watched on TV, We were out of school for three days. I never talked it over with my parents and they never talked to me. It wasn't till late I seen a video about Monroe .. Nuts it was.
