This video is only driving through the low income sections of Oak Cliff. Kessler Park Estates in North Oak Cliff sits right on a golf course and is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Dallas with stunningly beautiful houses. It should be in this video.
My hometown in the 50’s. Lot of memories. Attended John H Reagan middle school and WH Adamson HS. I lived on Llewellyn Ave where my early residence still stands as of my last visit some 12 years ago! Nice reflection via video! Thanks!
born in o cliff in 1951, stayed until 2016. the video showed my elementary school Harrel Budd. Also went to Boude Storey (65,66 and 67). Kimball grad 1970
I grew up in Oak Cliff in the late 80's... which is to say, I have childhood memories of neighbors houses getting shot up in multiple drive-by shootings.
I’m from around there oak cliff in redbird they used to tell people to move out the way or move parking spots so we could come in they were cool with us if they didn’t know yu youll get checked but everyone cool there you just gotta be cool back
I love Oak Cliff. I grew up on Glendale Road. I wouldn't wanna live no where else on the face of the planet. I will always live near my Stevie Ray. My Sweet Brother.
Oak cliff will always be my home lot of memories good and some not so good. I lived on keist and Michigan from 1979 to 2022 when I sold my beloved mother's home. I still drive that way to see our house
Although I do appreciate the viewing of the east side of Oak Cliff. The west side gets plenty views. However, just as in any city, there are just as many nicer areas as there are rough areas...
One of my older friends were warning me and said never visit Oak Cliff because one time my friend and his dad went to a gas station in Oak Cliff and the next thing that happened is that they heard shootings from far away so they both jumped into their car and left.
My parents house was built in 69 HighlandHills, I was born in 69, great childhood, crack came and changed everything in the 80's. I still love going back to visit family in Oak Cliff, Duncanville, Desoto,Cedar Hill, etc. You forgot Dennis Rodman, Spud Webb and others.
Don't live down there. If you do not want your home robbed or you being held up at gun point or car jacked. Reside in one of the suburbs 30 minutes outside of Dallas.
I grew up in Cockrell Hill. Went to Anson Jones Elementary, Quintanilla Middle School and Molina High. My Grandma has lived there since the early 70s. *Edit: I remember they used to have events at The Rocket and as a younger kid we would goto Bronco Bowl before they shut it down. Where I grew up it wasn't too crazy per se but you still had to be careful and there was always all kinds of crime going on. I was robbed twice before I was even 10 years old. Pretty messed up.
Old School here, from Mesquite, We called it "crossing the Bridge " Oak Cliff has finer Houses than Hiland Park,it is where the City Elite lived b4 the 40s.
“Oak Cliff.. only in Oak Cliff… where u can tell the raft from the riff!!!! “ Nemisis. Why no video of Elmwood, Winnetka, Kessler, or Red Bird Lane area?
My biological father was SRV's best friend from childhood. I was adopted but still spent most of my life in Oak Cliff. My adopted family also sold real estate in Oak Cliff. Connelly &Cheeves and Red Carpett Realty on 35 and Illinois and then Connelly Reality on Mt Lake Rd then on Hampton
I was born and raised in Oak Cliff so sad there’s nothing in oak Cliff now the city of Dallas has totally Neglected this part of town red bird mall ain’t about shit anymore only thing to do in Oak Cliff is sell dope and get killed So Sad…👎🏾
Why isn’t T bone Rocker on the Gloria’s Restaurant Mural, or a art installation at Kiest park. …like they did for Stevie Rayvon.. who stole from Hendrix,or any other historical black person? I wanna know? The neighborhood didn’t vote for that eye sore installation.
I lived in that "hood" yes our houses were not the best on the outside but there was lots of love and memories and the best neighbors. People look after each other back then at least my street did. Michigan and kiest. Despite what you may see on this video there was and still is hard working families today doing their best. I'm proud of my hood I would relive it all over again 😊
I lived in Oak Cliff when I first moved to Dallas for nearly two years then Garland onto Rowlett. My next door neighbor and I heard noises outside our houses in Garland a few times in what was supposed to be a good neighborhood. He actually caught a man breaking into his car and while in Rowlett my car was broken into twice in what was supposed to be a good neighborhood. Nothing ever happened in Oak Cliff, not once. For all it’s worth I guess crime is everywhere.
Cedar Crest and Red Bird both have golf courses surrounded by middle class neighborhoods. Not to mention the area around Memorial Hospital and Bishop Arts
That one time was along time ago and oakcliff been known for crime even with the big houses it shows you don’t know your history since 1920s oakcliff been dangerous

The video missed several affluent neighborhoods in Oak Cliff.
I was raised in Oak Cliff I went to George Peabody Elementary I loved it
Although I do appreciate the viewing of the east side of Oak Cliff. The west side gets plenty views. However, just as in any city, there are just as many nicer areas as there are rough areas...

Oak Cliff has some nice areas. You managed to miss all of them.
I grew up in Cockrell Hill. Went to Anson Jones Elementary, Quintanilla Middle School and Molina High. My Grandma has lived there since the early 70s.

Oak Cliff has finer Houses than Hiland Park,it is where the City Elite lived b4 the 40s.
Look at fair park brother, those houses back of mlk, massive
Is Trinity Rd apart of Oak Cliff?
This is great info

“Oak Cliff.. only in Oak Cliff… where u can tell the raft from the riff!!!! “ Nemisis. Why no video of Elmwood, Winnetka, Kessler, or Red Bird Lane area?

OAK Cliff was not bad When we were there. Was It Sandra Pinchback, Gail Issac.
I was born and raised in Oak Cliff so sad there’s nothing in oak Cliff now the city of Dallas has totally Neglected this part of town red bird mall ain’t about shit anymore only thing to do in Oak Cliff is sell dope and get killed So Sad…👎🏾
Red bird use to be a nice clean beautiful area
@@msdarknlovely846 facts💯
Everybody moved to DeSoto, Lancaster, and Cedar Hill. The Red Bird area was once upscale and black.
Flood… purposely flooded bc TL and other business men wanted to separate North Dallas from Oak Cliff. Do your own research people.
Can't really blame them.
@@ian2372 ?
Why isn’t T bone Rocker on the Gloria’s Restaurant Mural, or a art installation at Kiest park. …like they did for Stevie Rayvon.. who stole from Hendrix,or any other historical black person? I wanna know? The neighborhood didn’t vote for that eye sore installation.

Stovall and Easter RIP TO ALL MY LOVED ONES THAT LOST THEIR LIFE THEIR
Good information
Not trying to be mean but the houses look bad
It's the Hood
They only showed the worst part. A good chunk of Oak Cliff looks nothing like this.
I lived in that "hood" yes our houses were not the best on the outside but there was lots of love and memories and the best neighbors. People look after each other back then at least my street did. Michigan and kiest. Despite what you may see on this video there was and still is hard working families today doing their best. I'm proud of my hood I would relive it all over again 😊

O wow that’s some history

Is Cockrell Hill not considered part of Oak Cliff ?
CH is a small town of it's own.
@@tonycole5209but it’s definitely oakcliff fool
Nice video
At one time it was the premier location in Dallas to live and now it's mostly known for crime...which is too bad for it's residents...
That one time was along time ago and oakcliff been known for crime even with the big houses it shows you don’t know your history since 1920s oakcliff been dangerous
@isatrap61 Now you're showing that you don't know YOUR history. Since the 1920s?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@LoriL010 bro look at our history stupid fool jack ruby and the Dallas crime family
Home of the the North American Pavement Ape, have known to stay far away from this place since I was a young child.
