![[4K] Downtown Dallas, Texas USA - Virtual Walking Tour & Travel Guide 🎧 Binaural City Sounds](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/H5ASEM9dMiA/mqdefault.jpg)
I've been in Dallas for 13 years now, the eye is actually the result of a dispute between the property owner and the city over permits. They wanted to make it a business or something but the city refused to grant any permits so they "got back" at the city by placing the eye there as an eyesore to troll the city.
Really? That is fascinating, thanks for sharing that with us!
The eye is an eyesore!?!?
An eye-opener.
haha ikr?

bada dum tisssssssssssss lol@@kevnmur
I love how you are going on these adventures with your dad! How fun and heart-warming to see y'all enjoy our city together!
I was also in the 2nd grade at Waxahachie ISD during the JFK assassination. We were all brought to a particular teacher's classroom as a large group and our school principal announced it over the intercom. We were soon loaded on our busses to go home where we watched everything on TV. Even at seven years old I remember the surreal feelings of national trauma. It didn't matter what age you were - we were all feeling the same thing.
This is such a good channel. As someone who is a father, but doesn’t have a relationship with my own, I really appreciate the “Pops” and son time. Can’t get much better than that. I just keep thinking of how happy your dad must be being able to do thus with you
@St. Pete Runner You are so right about enjoying the time together. The fun we have together is real. We have always had that relationship!
The red Pegasus horse statue looks like the old symbol for Mobil oil. Which makes sense considering how much oil is part of the Texas economy. Always fun seeing you and your pops having adventures together. Thanks for posting
Yea I believe it is the same one and it was the original oil company before it became Mobil Oil that was based here in Dallas.
We did 24hrs in Dallas back in 2017. Stayed at the OMNI and did the 6th Floor Museum. I gotta say that Dealey Plaza did have a really strange vibe about it. Kinda like a time capsule.
It really does feel like a time capsule, I totally agree!
This is the most complete video of Dallas that I have been see! Greetings from Mexico!!!
TEXAS is Great in the Fall, Winters & Spring.
There's everything to love about this video. I am happy that there are channels like yours which keep me company every single day. Super grateful! : )
So glad the videos are encouraging and fun! Thanks for the comment!
I always enjoy your travelogs. They are so interesting, well thought out, and/or researched... I enjoy the food excursions, as well.🌞👏🎉 I was a young, school child, at the time of the assassination, too. My experiences absolutely mirrored your Dad's. I can recall that time vividly.❤️🩹😔
Thanks for the comment, always appreciate your support! Thanks for sharing your memory of the event with us as well!
The aquarium was a really fun spot! I recommend it if you decide to go back!
I will have to check that out next time!
You covered many interesting places. Dallas has a LOT to see so you could not have possibly covered it in that length of time. Dallas also has some of the best variety of amazing restaurants in Texas. (It ranks pretty high in national rankings that I’ve read.) A couple more places that I love there are the Dallas Arboretum and the Perot Museum of Nature and Science.
I just love your videos with Pops! Seeing y’all travel together is just the sweetest thing. Wish I could travel with my parents like this!
Let Pops know we got a giggle out of him at the cattle drive - I would have done the same to entertain my kids 😊
Yes!! That was my favorite part of the video! Pops looked like he was really having fun in Dallas😊
haha I was laughing so hard when he did that too!
The owner of the Joule Hotel wanted to build a parking garage for the guest. However, the city did not allow because they have building codes. The city said a parking garage there would be an “eyesore “ hence the eyeball. Well played I say!
You have the best Dad. All the places your Dad and you have gone is a beautiful story to tell. I really enjoy your videos, because of your dad and the scenery you show us.
@MissGloria Ingram Thank you so much for the kind words! We sure have a great time together. So glad you are enjoying traveling with us!
Oh my gosh!! I loved this video sooo much that I watched it twice!!
Pops on the cattle drive was hysterical! It gave me such a good laugh!!😂 The shots of the beautiful stained glass were gorgeous!! Just beautiful! After seeing this video I want to visit Texas!!
Yes, I remember. What stood out was his baby saluting on the sidewalk area....heartbreaking! Your dad is the best!
Thanks for the comment and memory, I will let him know he is the best!
Reunion tower is very special to me. It’s where I got engaged back in august
Congrats on the engagement! It is a beautiful spot!
A real fun video, loved the bronze herd crossing the river and the wild cowboy hazing em on. I had fun, and salivated at the BBQ rib. Thanks for the trip.
Dallas Native. Was gonna roll my eyes on your segment about bbq until I saw it was Cattleack. lol.
I was just in Dallas for a family wedding that was held at the art museum. I didn’t get to see much while there but what I saw intrigued me and I’d love to go back and see more. We also went to the Dealey Plaza and it was fascinating. Looking forward to seeing more Texas videos!
Thats a cool spot for a wedding! We have a lot more Texas videos coming up
@@ThroughMyLenscorrection: in about three months it will be a cool spot for a wedding.
DALLAS MUSEUM OF ART - is Amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Looking Good; I think it's incredible that it's free!!!
Great job capturing interesting points in Dallas that actually capture the essence of this place. I actually had my first date with my boyfriend of 4 years at the Margaret Hunt hill Bridge!
Amazing video and great information.
I love the bonding between you and your dad.
Subscribing to see more videos of you guys around different cities.
Thank you Josh for doing a video of Dallas. My wife and I love your videos and live in downtown Dallas. Great video!
No problem! Let me know what spots I missed that I should see next time!
This video makes me miss Dallas so much! Really happy you got to check out the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge! I went there at day and night to get a different perspective and let me tell you it is a spectacle at night! The Dallas skyline is one of my favorites and I love the views of it you get from the bridge. I have a few videos driving around Dallas and the bridge myself. I love this video Josh! Looking forward to more Texas content!
I will have to check them out! I wanted to go at night but then wore myself out during the day there haha
Can you answer this. Why is a suspension bridge needed? I've seen creeks wider that have regular over passes. I understand the flooding, but usually suspension bridges are for so that ships can pass under. The river is not navigable. Is it for show???
I wish I have travelled with my Pops. You are so blessed indeed you get to do this with your father.
thank you for this video brother
Been to Dallas, couple of years ago thanks for sharing Pops and Josh always interesting ❤
No problem, glad you enjoyed the video
Your channel was just suggested to me. Funny because I'm currently sitting in England, though we are from Dallas! It was so fun to see your highlights of visiting our city. I can't believe you had BBQ so early in the morning... and that rib was the biggest thing I've seen! And apparently it had the biggest price tag as well! haha
Well done with the video. I enjoyed your vlog with Pops ;-) All the best, Dara
Great video! Deep Ellum is a cool place to go to while in Dallas.
Southfork Ranch in Dallas where the Dallas series was filmed was a lovely place to visit away from the bustling life of Dallas...Downtown in the centre some where they had a live band playing ... Trip down memory lane...
👍🤗💙 Awesome Video As always Beautiful space's to see!!
Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Did you know when you were down by the MHH Bridge you were standing in the old Squatter’s Camp where Clyde Barrow and his family lived in a tent in the 1920s, along with many more of the poorest people in the Dallas area back then? The Bonnie and Clyde history in that region is super interesting to me. Btw Pops is a riot! 😂
I had no idea! Thanks for sharing
The Dallas Abboretum and White Rock Lake are great places to visit.
Will have to check those out next time!
I was in 8th grade home ec.class. They made an intercom announcement and all you could hear was crying. President Kennedy was so loved.
Ec class in Lynchburg va"?
Wow, thanks for sharing that memory with us!
Awesome video! We drove though parts of TX doing RT 66 last year, hopefully we can get back to try some BBQ . We’ll definitely keep in mind the price when ordering lol
Well done. It looks like a great city to visit.
We had a great time exploring the city!
When Kennedy was shot I was in 6th grade in east TX, about 3 hrs due east of Dallas. We were painting a mural at the back of the classroom when we were told. My dad picked us up in our family tan colored VW beetle. We watched things unfold on the b&w tv. The nation was truly in mourning during this sad time.
I have definitely had my share of morning BBQ. You have to do it to avoid the crowds. I was going to ask how much you paid for the entire platter of food since the beef rib was $50 on its own.
Yea, it was the most expensive bbq meal I paid for (we went to 14 spots haha). I think it was like $104. None of the other ones were more than $60
@@ThroughMyLens 14 spots wow. I don't think I could do that unless I spaced it out over 2-3 weeks. It is so easy to spend a lot of money at BBQ places because you get a little of this and a little of that, 1/2 lb here, 1/2 lb there and before you know it, you are at $100. Plus some of the places only take cash so you got to ready for that too. I love visiting those places. The smells are heavenly.
Fantastic 😊😊
Amazing video as always! Keep up the good work. Greetings from Germany
Thanks so much for the comment and for watching from Germany!
Great video. I’m from SATX and I visit Dallas maybe once a year when I go to the cowboys game, but I’m definitely hitting up the spots you mentioned on here. Thank you! Keep up the good work! Love the vids.
I hope you enjoy the spots! It was a fun city for 24 hours for sure
As an Australian the explore relevant to JFK was very interesting. I haven’t seen this on any other travel video or programme on Texas. Thanks for sharing it. Never been to the US but hope to get there sometime in the next 30 years !
Glad you liked it and thanks for the comment!
Great video! That Barbeque looked amazing. Please do Houston next!
Thanks for the comment! Houston is coming up soon!
Next time visit deep ellum. It’s a cool walkable area with good restaurants and bars
I learned to drive the mule wagon to to be a Chuck wagon chef on the trail rides while I lived in Dallas. I learned several ways to cook there. Been where you guys have been this time.
That is awesome to have that experience there
@@ThroughMyLens
I can make three types of Texas BBQ. What a crew I get visiting in the Summer.
Oops on the beef rib Josh. Haha
Looked amazing though
Very informative 😊
Wow that place looks cool
Thank you so much
This is awesome! Seems I need to "play tourist" in my town again, as I did not know about 1/2 of the places/things you and your Dad covered. I love that the staff at Cattleack BBQ said they would throw Pops out if he used any sauce on that beef rib. I agree...properly done, BBQ does NOT need sauce....that said, anything you do add, should enhance the flavor, but not smother it. Who knew there was a BIG EYE in Dallas? LOL Too much "work from home" lately. haha.
haha we loved that about Texas BBQ is that the sauce was never needed on good BBQ. Yea, the big eye was pretty fun to see and super random but I loved it.
Pops and I have got to be about the same age. I too remember this time as being a huge event. I was practicing for a play in the 3rd grade. Mr. Myers, ran into the auditorium and there were two television sets on high frames. He turned them around facing the chairs. It was surreal. The drum beat went on forever on television. Regular television programming was off for several days. I too saw Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald. This is definitely on my list of places to go. I want to go on the JFK walking assassination tour. Then head to San Antonio, stopping by Waco. Another huge event. I'm a traveler myself. It's all about learning. Mom and I went to the Lorraine Hotel too. Another huge event. Keep traveling. I really enjoy your travels. Thank you. Mary
Thanks so much for the comment and for sharing your memory with us! I hope you can visit this area one day as well
I live in Dallas, and I need to explore my city.
Nice. Saved me a tix to Dallas. I am thinking about moving to Dallas from Nevada.
Glad the video was helpful!
Man y’all needed to go to terrys black bbq or pecan lodge
달라스 가보고 싶네요 ❤ 공유감사합니다 🎉❤🎉❤🎉
I hope you can visit there one day!
My daughter just arrived there a few hours ago from Doha ,will be there for about three days. I hope that she will get a chance to tour some parts of the city and enjoy some of the Texas famous barbecue.
Ty for my city❤❤❤
I think I'm about the age of your father! I was in first grade, and remember asking my mother when cartoons would be coming back on. She told me to shush, because this was important. Later, I remember seeing Oswald being shot on live TV! You'd never see this today. It definitely had an effect on my life.
Wow, thanks for sharing that memory!
You can get close to (and touch) a giant eye ball just like this one in STL at Laumeier Sculpture Park, if you ever go back to St. Louis again! Just looking out for your interests. 😂😅
Come back when the state Fair of Texas open you wont regret it at all!
Since you enjoy bridges, have you been to the Kinzua Bridge State Park in Pennsylvania? Very cool spot and story.
The eye ball surfaced in Chicago, I laughed at it but it was something to look at
Love the channel guys! Very informative to someone who is considering visiting Dallas to potentially move there within the next 1-2 years. #NewSub
I miss living around the corner from the AT&T District.
Your dad was lucky to have a black and white in 63. My folks didnt get our first black and white until 1970
The aluminium Globe art installation on AT&T Discovery district represents the AT&T logo and it’s made in Birmingham UK. 😊 i know the owner of the company who made it. 👍🏻 great video
Perot Museum is also a fun place to visit.
I will have to look that up for next time!
Hi Mate, You have captured essence of Dallas City but there are lot more to see in and around Dallas. Please list down the names of Food places you visited in description.
Thanks for the comment! Yea, so much to explore in Dallas for sure, we didn't even scratch the surface. We went to Cattleack for BBQ, Salty for donuts and Dallas Farmers Market for dinner
send love from south korea.
Like Pop I was in school but in the 5th grade. Suddenly our teacher was called out of the room. She came back in crying and told us Pres Kennedy had been killed. We went home and were off of school and watched the funeral.
A few years ago I drove down Dealy Plaza and was surprised how small it was compared to what TV made it to be. Sad time in America.
About 1:55 mark. On that building. That’s Mike Mills who founded 17th Street BBQ in Murphysboro, IL.
Pops is wearing an Illini shirt. Are you Illinois boys?
Really? That is cool! Yep, my dad went to University of Illinois
Where did you get that food at farmers market? It looks really good.
I believe this is best city in America
The chairs face east from west Dallas, u can see the sunrise from that angle
I was in the fourth grade when John Kennedy was assassinated. What a sad time that was, I recall seeing the funeral procession on black and white television.
나도 미국 여행을 자주 다녀서 이 채널을 즐겨보는데 유쾌한 아빠랑 함께 다니며 명소들을 소개하는건 매우 의미있는 일이란 생각임다. 달라스 인근 Ft Worth에 10년간 살아봐서 인지 로데오 경기장과 세계 최대로 크다는 DFW 공항과 암소 시장 등을 소개해 줬으면 좋겠단 생각이 들고 샌 앤토니아의 멋진 운하와 밤에 그 운하를 배를 타고 돌아 보는것도 추천하고 싶습니다 아무튼 텍사스는 모든게 크고 좋다는 긍지가 대단하며 텍사스 공화국의 자부심과 외로운 별이라는 주 깃발과 거칠고강인한 카우보이 정신은 남자들을 설레이게 하기에 충분합니다. 프리웨이를 하루종일 달려도 넓은 텍사스를 벗어나지 못할 정도로 어마어마하게 큰 그곳을 여행하면서 배경음악은 남북 전쟁 당시 남부 동맹군 군가로 쓰였다는 텍사스의 노란 장미를 선택하면 더 좋을겁니다. 굿럭~
Thanks so much for the comment! We had a great time in Dallas and loved Fort Worth as well, which is in a previous video. Also San Antonio was so cool to see at night and I would love to spend more time there. Thanks for the comment!
So much bbq!!!! 😁
haha there will only be more in the coming videos 😂 we actually recorded a video reviewing our favorite BBQ places today haha
There’s Underground Tunnels Under The City. Another City Underneath.
DALLAS I’m coming soon🤘🏾🤘🏾
I will have to visits
What are the Texas BBQ backup plans for Cattleack BBQ if too many people in line?
I usually go to Hutchins, the one in McKinney has a line but not too bad, they also have a drive throu that's pretty quick but you get free desert if you go in.
I went to Dallas a month ago to visit family. Parking is very expensive there. Where did you park to see all these things? Where do you recommend parking?
i was home with the mumps. Watching the news when it happened i was in the 4th grade
Oh wow, the mumps! Thanks for sharing your memory
I have the same memory as Pop on 11/22/63. They sent us home early that day and I do remember watching TV for a week over what happened, I was watching when Oswald was shot. The school I went to had just sent a letter to the White House asking for a signed picture of JFK which was something he did for schools during that time. I do want to visit Dallas someday and go to Dealy Plaza
Thanks for sharing your memory and I hope you can visit sometime!
Life is too short to live in Dallas
Damn, those huge ribs looks good (the ones that your father had). I go to Dallas just for those ribs alone!!!!
Yea it was expensive but awesome!
There are far better and cheaper ribs all over Texas. They're expensive because they are sold in Dallas, which is a big city.
I wanted to take a picture with the classical skyline of dallas in the back (that includes the reunion tower), so, I was wondering where should I go???, is there a specific place when I could take that picture of me with all that in the back???
what mic you use for your voiceovers??? i looked
👍🏻
So the Réunion tower was built in 1978 wasn't that the same year the tv dallas premiered?
They also building bc a universal studio n you try deep ellum
🤠👍 Texas welcomes y'all! Glad you made it to God's microphone but too bad Pops is afraid of heights.
haha God's microphone! That is hilarious
A Texas Cowboy needs to show Pops how to wear his hat.
You're right man,
No South Fork?
That JFK memorial tomb @ 5:03 needs A LOT of renovation.
Not an American, but I love patriot Texans.
The old Parkland hospital used it have a memorial for JFK as well, but moved to a new building some years ago, don’t know if or how they are memorializing now.
