Thank you for sharing all these photos , such wonderful memories of a much more simple time in my childhood !

I grew up in Oak Cliff. Our family moved to Oak Cliff in 1964. I was 7 years old when we arrived. I never left. Still living in The Cliff. I knew the people who ran Austin's Barbecue. I have lived over 60 years in this city. I have seen many changes take place over the years. Yet, the memories remain. Most of the people I grew up with and even members of my family and neighborhood have all moved away with a few exceptions. I went to Henderson elementary and W E Greiner Jr. High and graduated W H Adamson. Thanks for sharing this video. Peace.

So many wonderful memories. This video made me cry. I wish we could go back in time. These were such great times.

This was before blacks and Mexicans moved in a ruined the entire area. When whites lived in Oak Cliff there was peace and tranquility. When you black and Mexicans took over it soon became Hell on earth and it remains that way today! It now looks like a natural disaster that was caused by minorities. Thanks to Government handouts, now you’re able to turn other areas into oak cliff. Mesquite, Garland, Rowlett, Forney, Carrollton and some unknown.

Wow. Very awesome

Born in Dallas, grew up in South Oak Cliff. Rode the bus downtown to the movies at the Palace, Majestic or Tower theaters. The Palace had an organist that played a beautiful organ that rose up from the floor during intermission ❤️

Sunset high school

The most amazing photo to me was Burnett Field. As a little kid my uncle use to take me there to watch the Dallas Eagles play. It was completely made of wood.

Sad to see how it is today.

What’s the song name??

My aunt and uncle had a car lot in OakCliff..the Red Moore Used Cars...

They forgot about Red Bird Mall 🤷‍♂️💭????

I miss the old day in the seventies in Dallas 😢 not the same now! Too crowded

I was born there but my family moved away when the immigration act passed & blacks invaded it. I remember Oak Cliff being all white people before blacks & mexicans turned it into a high crime trashy slum ghetto.

Wow oackliff beautiful

My mom went to T.W. Browne then Kimball class of 74, Aunt's went to Bishop Dunne and Tyler St. My sis and BIL are now gentrifying Oak Cliff by moving back in 🤣

You didn`t show Young Bloods Chicken . The best chicken place in Texas . LOL

Carter High Class of 2017! Cliff changed so much.

That house at 3:10 looks familiar. Perryton & Saner maybe?? (Parents house was/is about 100 yds away to the Northwest off Tennessee?)

Forgot, Griff's burgers and Webb's ice cream and hot dogs.

THOSE WERE THE DAZE.... GREW UP IN OC ON KIEST BLVD., REMEMBER THE LANCASTER KIEST SHOPPING CENTER, THEY HAD A BOWLING ALLEY, CAFETERIA, TREASURE CITY AND MANY OTHER NICE STORES. GO UP THE STREET TO THE CREST THEATER, DRIVE INN ON WALTON WALKER I FORGOT ABOUT THE A HARRIS SHOPPING CENTER @ KIEST AND 35. THAT WAS THE REAL OAK CLIFF. MISS IT TO THIS DAY, BUT IT HURTS MY HEART TO DRIVE THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SEE HOW IT LOOKS TODAY. STILL GOTTA LOVE IT. 4EVER OAK CLIFF TEXAS............

This is the area to buy in because it's accessible and has architecture still that's not pretentious. I don't know if you can buy liquor today but when I lived there, you couldn't. So, we all drove into Dallas to buy beer. People are going to drink.

World's worst mangling of Unchained Melody ever recorded...oh my God!

Where was the whataburger and jack in box pictured here located at?

I lived in Oak Cliff until we moved to Pleasant Grove. A lot of these pics remind of it. I can remember going to the Jack-n-Box and a drive-in somewhere in Oak Cliff in 1964-65. I went to Jefferson Davis Elementary. I bet they changed that name years ago! My first job was on Jefferson, right across from the theater that Oswald was caught in. Thanks for the memories.

My grandma graduated from sunset in 1950 and I graduated from sunset in 2003.

Randy, you must have known my brothers Billy and Robby Dougherty. We all went to Jefferson Davis, eventually to Carter, then Browne and Kimball.

Thank you, Randy! That was a great look back and places and times I cherish. Great memories!

My folks grew up in Oak Cliff and graduated from Adamson high school. My maternal grandfather lived at 2118 S. Beckley (house no longer there) and my paternal grandparents lived at 446 W. Greenbriar Ln. near Methodist hospital. My grandfather built their house which still stands. I love Oak Cliff and enjoy visiting a couple of times a year. I’ll miss the old El Fenix by Lake Cliff though.
