Dallas the AA hub? Close...

Actually D-FW International is the main AA hub.

However, Dallas Love field is home of ---

Some of the cheapest flights around. I love 'em.

A long time ago, when I was a young buck, we used to throw raging parties on the promontory that is on a ridge South-Southwest of Dallas, and South-Southeast of Grand Prairie, and between the Eastbound, and Westbound portions of Interstate 20. The land belonged to one of the Hunt brothers, rumor had it. Access from the Eastbound fast lane. No ramp. Dangerous turn off, actually...

West of there, where highway 360 intersects I-20, was our drag strip. 360 ended, just a little ways beyond where it passed under I-20, basically dead-ending there, with just and old country lane leading off from one side. That part of the road was all but deserted, 24/7. From the dead- end, back along the then brand spanking new (and DESERTED!) divided highway lanes, to the first 1-20 bridge overpass, was just almost exactly 1/5 of a mile. Perfect for street rods.

It's all different now, but it was noisy and fun then--- and the police basically left us alone, too.
