Big "D"

My Son lives in Dallas

and was happy to show

my English Relatives

around his favorite city

 Old Red Court House

Dallas, Texas

 Klyde Warren Park serves as a central gathering space for Dallas and its visitors. The 5.2-acre deck park, designed by The Office of James Burnett, is an urban green space built over the recessed Woodall Rodgers Freeway between Pearl and St. Paul streets in downtown Dallas. Klyde Warren Park will be a highly active space, providing daily free programming for the public ranging from yoga to book signings to outdoor concerts and films. The park is privately operated and managed by the Woodall Rodgers Park Foundation.

We also visited the Bishop Arts district,

Oak Cliff, and drove around

Highland Park

and we had lunch at Sissy's Southern Kitchen & Bar

in the Henderson/Knox District

(Where the Brits tasted fried okra, fried green tomatoes, 

grits, and buttermilk biscuits)
