Oak Cliff...Journey Back In Time (Randy Virgil) 

1950 was the year that Sunset won the state championship in football.

I gew uo in SOC also went to Lisbon elemetry, Zumwalt Jr high SOC high school Like you I remember the Palace and Tower and the Majestic theaters I worked at the Majestic as an usher until I went into the Army in 1967. I now in South Dakota don't miss Dallas at all.

La Vajada

I went to Jefferson Davis too. About the same time as you (I'm 65). Loved it! I remember we had square dances on the black top. I also remember that Texas history was a BIG thing. We had to remember the "Alamo" song by heart! Moved to Pleasant Grove and attended Spruce.

@@xecukc7010 Yes those were memorable times and great times. I definitely remember Spruce HS. I had a terrible accident running track for Adamson there. I kept telling coach Cristoff that I had an upset stomach and couldn't run that day. He made me run anyway on the 440 sprint 🏃‍♂️relay. 2nd leg. And it happened just like I felt it would. Luckily no one in the stands noticed when I s*** myself. But anyway, that's gross but when you said Spruce that popped into my mind. I'm 66 now and Coach Cristoff was at our 10 year reunion in 83. Believe me he remembered. Everybody on that track team remembered because they all were having a good time on that bus back to Adamson at my expense. Finally I took my gross soiled jock strap out of a bag and tossed it at a group of my friends. It was hilarious watching those boys scatter that day. Boys will be boys. Good luck to you and God bless. I never thought I'd find someone from Jefferson Davis elementary school in Oak Cliff on youtube.

They did change the name of Jeff Davis school...can't have traditional if it's from the civil war. My good friends went to school there. We all met at Greiner and still friends. They went to Adamson. ..I went to Sunset. I miss the OC from the 50s & 60s. Most of Mexico lives there now. Reagan okd 12 million illegals and it's never stopped. Only light shades need to follow the laws. So, here we are. Welcome to minority, courtesy of commies. The deep state govt is commie. Truth usually gets deleted.

The chicken fried steak at Ginny's Bishop Grill!!!

Chicken fried steak at Roscoe White's near Inwood and Lover's Lane was the bomb. Torn down years ago. Bob White's was outstanding, too. I think they were brothers. Bob White's was off Military Drive way out, I think. Been a long time and I am old.....

So was the banana creme pie.

So was the banana-creme pie. And boy, they sure could smoke a Thanksgiving turkey.

The only time I had dinner with family was around 1994 or 1995. They closed around 2000 and by the end of 2001, Eckerd bought the land and built their store there. Today it's a CVS.

I used to know a man named Red Moore who owned a coin shop on Jefferson Blvd.

loved the cornbread at Jay's....

@@lionstandingII Jay's Cafeteria was my brothers first job. He made 50 cents an hour plus tips as a busboy.

You can not buy liquor in Oak Cliff, it is still a dry area. Which is good. If people want liquor they can cross the river and buy it there.

I used to eat at Genie's Bishop Grill. Best home cooking I've ever had.

I always believed that the location of that picture is on the corner of Ledbetter and University Hills formally Houston School Road. I may be wrong, but that sure does look like the Singing Hills neighborhood..

It's a rearranged version of Unchained Melody. I gotta say I like the original version better.
