This is like a documentary! Props to whoever in 1973 pulled this together with all the camera moves and background music.

Lived in Dallas and Mesquite '84-'00. Just north of Bachman Lake-Love Field then Mesquite close to Balch Springs. Last drove through '18...wow! Drove back to Ms.from Colorado back in '18 on NW Highway, and didn't recognize the neighborhoods. However, I took Greenville Ave. to Bryan & Fitzhugh and stopped by Jimmy's Food Store; the best Italian sub sandwiches in DFW. Diagonally from Jimmy's was Bobbye Halls' Hobby House-worked there '85-'97 fun times! Harold Taft, Chip Moody, Mark Davis and Bill Mack were the best!

Love these older videos!! Especially when it shows one of the old theatres.. The Elite shown here, was originally known as the White Theatre.. Opened in 1934.. closing its' doors in 1955.. Later becoming a cafe for a while. It was demolished sometime around 1965.. Today, sadly it is a vacant lot.. was located at 2720 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Dallas, TX..

@@davidcarper5411 The beginning of the documentary mentioned poor education, poor employment, poor housing, and poor health as causative agents of high crime areas. Context is necessary when viewing this piece of media. It was released in 1973. Barely five years after numerous Civil Rights laws were passed. Civil Rights legislation of the late 1960s was important because those laws helped alleviate unjust conditions for Black Americans who were intentionally disenfranchised and oppressed by the US government for over three hundred years at this point in time. In fact, many of the individuals shown in this documentary are the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of enslaved Black Texans who were emancipated with no education or economic resources. Many Black Codes and Jim Crow laws enforced by Texas legislators ensured that a large majority of Black Texans; including those in Dallas remained poor and uneducated following Emancipation from slavery. We know poor education, poor employment, poor housing, and poor health drive high crime; but what drove the poor education, poor employment, poor housing, and poor health of this historically impoverished area??

I dont think there are too many hole in the wall joints left in the old sunny south. I think part of that might be that the Cliff isnt dry anymore, so there are little lounges and bars over there, also it seems that over by the fair park, there are a lot of new, more stylish downtown type joints. There was one little joint in south Dallas I remember being especially rowdy, it was called Annie Mae's
