the most world shaping thing to have ever come from Dallas, which gets no mention by almost every commentary about Big D, is the integrated circuit (aka microchip). electrical engineer Jack Kilby was working in Dallas, at Texas Instruments, in 1958 when he came up with the idea. he got a Nobel Prize in 2000 for this accomplishment. it blows my mind that this event gets so little attention, especially on the internet of all places!

How about the other percentage (in Dallas) that get right up to the stop light and decide that they don't want to turn left. They want to turn right and expect 4 or 5 lanes of traffic to come to a complete stop because they're too self-absorbed to plan ahead. Instead of completing their turn and finding a place to turn around, they somehow feel that everyone is supposed to just stop and "take care of them"? I see this irritating behavior way too often. I used to install satellite TV, and would often have to work downtown. I hated this because the closer you got to downtown Dallas, the more aggressively people drove. It usually felt like everyone with a set of wheels was trying to kill me.

@@lenarrowseller2419 My very first real job was at a car lot at W.Davis & Elsbeth (Which had an interesting criminal history of it's own!) that was across the intersection for one of Oswalds former apartments. Plus my late grandfather (1902-90) managed an apt house at 224 W.10th (It's a lawyers office now) from about 1960 to 1986, and swore that Oswald stopped by & looked at a vacancy he had,but he ran him off....said there was just something about him he didn't like??

Thank you for mentioning the Dallas World Aquarium. If you are going to Dallas for a trip and enjoy zoos you NEED to go to the Dallas world aquarium.

I like going to museums when I'm in different cities. Dallas Museum of Art is a good one once you get inside but the statues outside of it are mundane and not appealing to bringing you inside. I would like to go to their Zoo since I do visit zoos on an irregular basis. My favorites are the Bronx Zoo, Washington DC Zoo and the San Diego Zoo. They are all spectacular! In Texas, the Fort Worth botanical gardens rivals all, including the Dallas Botanical Gardens. I generally visit botanical gardens as a Zen moment when I'm frustrated with my travels!

[@wavy2tee]

Have you checked out the Fort Worth zoo? I would say it’s even better than the dallas zoo

[@kathleenkirchoff9223]

I grew up in the Houston Museum of Fine Arts with the Zoo just blocks away. Now I do alot of work with museums in Dallas. I prefer the Kimbell in Ft Worth. The Botanical Gardens and Dallas Arboritum are both beautiful. If you are in Dallas at the DMA, walk across the street to the Crow Collection of Asian Art in the Trammell Crow building or the Nasher Museum.

Interesting list....I didn't get to see much of Dallas when I went 3 years ago, but it was an interesting experience. My main outings were at the Reunion Tower observation deck and the Dallas World Aquarium. I would've loved to visit their Zero Gravity theme park too if I had extra money and company with me. I went alone. Also Dallas' skyline at night looks awesome.

The Zero Gravity Theme Park is permanently closed. The land owner sold the land and Zero Gravity's lease was not renewed.

For those from Dallas that never heard of "Triple D", may likely have never been around the hood. It stands for "dirty dirty Dallas". It was coined near the late 80's/ early 90's, but you'll usually only hear around The Cliff or Pleasant Grove (or other similar areas).

[@DrOlds7298]

Got it from the city logo that used to be on the Squad Cars (up to 1991-92) and is still on pretty much every other city owned vehicle. And I first heard that nickname in 1976!!!

One of my late Aunts actually knew the Barrow family,(They owned a service station on what is now Singleton Blvd in West Dallas. The building still stands....for now?) she was friends with their daughter Marie. As a result,she actually had met both Buck & Clyde,and of course knowing Clyde had also met Bonnie. Told some very interesting background stories about them. Such as Clyde being an amazing high speed driver (He preferred Fords) and being quite a gifted pool player. Also that by today's standards,he'd be probably be called Bi-Polar...a 'Jekyll & Hyde' personality. Also that Bonnie was actually quite intellegent....and married to someone else the whole time they were out doing their thing!! (And as a side note,when speaking of the 1967 movie made about them was very quick to say 'They're (the actors playing them) are both too tall!!')

I used to visit the DFW Metroplex a lot a couple years ago. One of my favorite places I've ever visited. They have everything! The food is amazing and the people are friendly a accommodating. The suburbs are great to live and raise a family. Great city all around. The only thing that I never liked were the cicadas. 😱 That loud noise is everywhere... nonstop. When it's their season. 😅 But that's a minor annoyance compared the everything else the city has to offer. Fort Worth included.

Triple D….thanks for sharing where I live!!!

[@ATDLN]

I appreciate how you took the time to distinguish the Texas Ranger's are in Arlington instead of the City of Dallas. However you dropped a few additional facts. Things like the Dallas Cowboys also play in Arlington. And that Arlington is located in Tarrant county, the same as Fort Worth. Also the restaurant Tolbert's is also not located in Dallas County but instead in Tarrant. These may be trivial facts to you but there is something to keep in mind when dealing with this area of Texas. It is true that Dallas has many great things. However, the metroplex is huge and is made up of dozens of towns & cities and counties. You will find as a whole the area stands proud of the metroplex. However, any one that doesn't get their facts straight and attributes anything to a different town, city or county and you instantly are spoiling for trouble. Especially when things are attributed to the City of Dallas. This has grown over the decades due to the laziness of people who report events and activities outside the metroplex and don't have their facts straight. When it comes to this area of Texas, I highly recommend you do a series of the entire metroplex and only then break down individual videos of what you find. It will definitely skew your video. Example: Yes, Dallas has a decent zoo by any standards. But, Fort Worth Zoo has been ranked # 1 in the Nation by USA Today. And while there is good food in Dallas; Fort Worth and other cities in Tarrant County like Grapevine ( Tolberts), Roanoke and Arlington all have dining experiences that rival and surpass most places in the United States.

[@michaelrobinson6221]

Excellent summation. The DFW Metroplex stands for Dallas and Fort Worth; the DFW Airport stands for Dallas and Fort Worth. It is annoying that lazy people from all persuasions and professions refer to DFW as Dallas. It is not being rude to Dallas to simply say that it is not appreciated that the complete picture of DFW is not recognized.
