My closest Aunt worker management of the Sheraton almost her entire career till she opened a travel agency in the 80s
She rose thru the ranks there and almost reached the top
Back then besides the Fairmont it was the Mac daddy
I’d visit from Jackson Mississippi frequently and go to work with her and roam the properties between the connected buildings
The observation deck on the southland building
Sanger Harris
Titches
And so on
I remember an underground deli nearby for lunch
Pastrami yum
Dallas was my big city
North Park and Old Town
We lived in a garage apt on turtle creek
Rich ole lady landlord
I’d watch tv with her
Huge house
Mother would walk me along the creek path
And lower McKinney was stil houses
And the Carruths still had cows at park lane and central xpy
That’s long gone lol
Dallas was the mac daddy.
In the 60’s and 70’s I took their bus system everywhere; from Town East to Fair Park to White Rock Lake and all over.
The underground shops in downtown Dallas are still some of the best places to walk and keep cool during the summer.
I used to visit the original JFK assassination museum in West End, but it has gone mainstream now, but still fun to visit.
The only real improvement in downtown Dallas is the addition of the Dallas World Aquarium. It is awesome, and the whole West End is great.
Closing the downtown Library broke my heart. Greatest place in the world for a bibliophile teenager.
