    The Dallas skyline was always one of my favorite views, especially at night, but what made this video memorable to me was when you travelled down I-30 east from the I-30/I-45 interchange on (where it becomes the R.L. Thorton Freeway). That was the exact route we would take to visit family when they lived in east Dallas. When you drove under the overpasses for Jim Miller Rd. and St. Francis Ave., I started having happy flashbacks, as these were the exits we took to get to my aunt and uncle's house. Thanks for sharing and helping me to remember my childhood.

    I truly enjoy these videos of yours, not only do I get to see places I haven't visited(and a few I have in new ways) but they've also helped broadened my taste in music. Keep it up!

    1:02 definitely one heck of an interchange. Amazing.

      @bainkongandesonkeng7404 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's called "high five" where Lyndon B Johnson freeway (I -635) and Central Expressway (US - 75) meet

    • @joshhughes9628

    Good stuff of Dallas! Great skyline and the marvels of both the High Five and the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge! Definitely something I want to check out in the future!

    And here I thought the I-25/I-40 interchange of Albuquerque was very impressive. The one in Dallas(the "High Five") takes the cake. :-)

    I’ve been to the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge and when you crossed the Tom Landry Freeway it was rebuilt into the Margaret McDermott Bridge with two white arches on the side of the new wide highway witch was completed in 2016

    Another excellent job - have never heard either of those cuts
    before. I was in Dallas in 1984 and man has it changed from what I am seeing.

    • @Freewayjim

    Nice ride through Dallas- love how modern they made US 75 compared to how it looked when they would film scenes for Dallas at one of the near-by towers. Plus, the High-Five never ceases to amaze me!

    • @Freewayjim
      @Freewayjim  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks, yeah US-75 is quite a road for sure.

  • @OGRedWill

    That sky was perfect for filming that drive. Beautiful. Jim I love your channel....I was just waking up listening to a song on youtube. I check out the right side and see one of your videos and I thought "interesting...Ive always wanted to check other places out. Ive been to many states but didnt get to see the beautiful rides like this.

    • @OGRedWill
      @OGRedWill 11 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Bay Area one got me all excited because I grew up there and I finally get to move back home and see all my friends. So glad I found your channel. Keep doing your thing!

    Dallas is building so fast that there are already highrises missing in this 2014 video..including the Richards Group HQ across from Cityplace at 4:00...And Uptown has cranes up all over the fking place.

  • @Dan_1022
    @Dan_1022 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    the high five seems to be the most filmed highway thing in texas, it seems every time one films central or the 635 the high five is part of the video (not that it's annoying, it's actually fun since central is my favourite freeway that I've been to)

    • @74ryanwolf
      @74ryanwolf 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Danny1022 Well it is the biggest stack interchange in the country afaik, so that'd be weird if they didn't :p

  • @asteyhighways
    @asteyhighways 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Amazing ride, loved of course the "high five" and the views of Dallas! Concerning the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, it's very spectacular, and, a interesting think, Santiago Calatrava has designed a similar bridge in Italy above the A1 and the high speed train line (in one of my future videos). Good job, as usual!

    • @Freewayjim
      @Freewayjim  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! They are going to build another Calatrava bridge within the next five years on I-30 entering the city where the 2nd part of the video starts.

    Nice to see a U.S. classic shield route (75 and 80) in a freeway mode. It's a Federal route, yet a lot of old routes have been turned into Eisenhower System shields for some reason.

  • @cabasse_music
    @cabasse_music 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    i would love seeing something like that bridge built for 285/75 where it crosses the chattahoochee - for 75 especially, it's pretty wide because of the island splitting the river in two where the freeway crosses. would help bring more attention to what is basically our riverfront.

  • @BeckettSong
    @BeckettSong 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    The following lyrical line(from one of Whitesnake's songs, "Here I Go Again"): "Going down the only road I've ever known.", would be a very nice line and whole song for a future video. ;)

    • @Freewayjim
      @Freewayjim  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a nice line for sure but as a song, there are many, many better options, but thanks anyway.

    I do agree The Canyon could use a makeover and then some; but it's a classic road and the costs and congestion would be outrageous. Hopefully, if the Rangers get a new stadium or if Texas starts allowing casinos, the Transportation Department might be inspired to rebuild.

    • @Freewayjim
