I was 9 in 1971. Jefferson use to be a great place to walk around and shop! We always went to McCrory’s. They had a soda fountain and we always got chocolate shakes and a hamburger. Then went down to Sears to buy clothes and pick up anything ordered from the catalog. Eventually going down to the basement hitting the candy counter for some double dipped chocolate peanuts to eat on the way home. Fun times great memories.
This is so cool to see. Lots of memories from my childhood . Growing up it was and still is a Hispanic part of town. I still go down Jefferson at least once a week. Sunday nights are great too to see all the classic cars
Actually eye opening. We complain about gentrification but us Hispanics took over this once majority white area. Not to be negative just realizing our own hypocrisy
@@bottlecap8372That’s a lie. It was never “brown”. When Oak Cliff was founded, the area was not predominately Hispanic. There were Native Americans in the areas well before Dallas was founded. Both Oak Cliff and Dallas were founded by white people.
I was 11 my grandmother lived on 8th street walked up to stores on Jefferson St every Saturday to shop

There was a neighborhood called peanut flat that was near 30 from the levee over to Beckley. I wish someone could tell me more.

Before it was a majority white area it was brown, it was brown for centuries actually, even thousands of years
@MeanBaby-zj7lz this has got to be satirical there's no way you're this uneducated
Yeah you’re wrong again. Texas belonged to Mexico!! Then colonizers came and now it’s back to how it should be.
