Growing up, Oak Cliff was always one of those "never-go" there place. It was dangerous. It had crime. It was old. It had drugs. It had gangs. It had shoot outs. Stay away from Oak Cliff.
But now, the environment is changing. It is no Uptown Dallas. But it does have its quirks. And it is making progress on becoming one of the more trendier areas in the Dallas metroplex. Don't get me wrong, there is still A LOT of work to be done in the area. And I would never stumble into Oakcliff without a fully charged phone, GPS working in tact. It is not somewhere I recommending freely exploring. I usually have it in mind where exactly I am going. But in 5 years, possibly.
One of my favorite redevelopment projects within Oak Cliff is the Kessler Theatre. There is the before on the left and the after on the right. And the sound. And the natural wood. It is absolutely beautiful.
Plus the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is doing wonders to help people get over there.
Plus, it holds one of my favorite bars called The Foundry which was a decrepit old building before.
Anyways if you are ever in Oak Cliff check out!
