Driving Downtown - Dallas Texas USA - Episode 39. Starting Point: https://goo.gl/maps/Kt22kujAN242 . Dallas is a major city in the state of Texas and is the largest urban center of the fourth most populous metropolitan area in the United States. The city proper ranks ninth in the U.S. and third in Texas after Houston and San Antonio.[8][9] The city's prominence arose from its historical importance as a center for the oil and cotton industries, and its position along numerous railroad lines. Neighborhoods Central Dallas is anchored by Downtown, the center of the city, along with Oak Lawn and Uptown, areas characterized by dense retail, restaurants, and nightlife. Downtown Dallas has a variety of named districts, including the West End Historic District, the Arts District, the Main Street District, Farmers Market District, the City Center business district, the Convention Center District, and the Reunion District. Economy The city's economy is primarily based on banking, commerce, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare and medical research, and transportation and logistics. The city is home to the third-largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in the nation (behind New York City and Houston). In 2007–08, Comerica Bank and AT&T located their headquarters in Dallas. Additional Fortune 500 companies headquartered in Dallas include Energy Transfer Equity, HollyFrontier, Southwest Airlines, Tenet Healthcare, Texas Instruments, Dean Foods, Trinity Industries, and Energy Future Holdings. Irving is home to 6 Fortune 500 companies of its own, including ExxonMobil, the most profitable company in the world and the second largest by revenue for 2015,[90] Kimberly-Clark, Fluor (engineering), Commercial Metals, Celanese, and Pioneer Natural Resources.[90] Additional companies headquartered in the Metroplex include American Airlines, Regency Energy Partners, Atmos Energy, Neiman Marcus, 7-Eleven, Brinker International, Primoris Services, Radio Shack, D.R. Horton, AMS Pictures, id Software, ENSCO Offshore Drilling, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Chuck E. Cheese's, Zales and Fossil. According to Forbes magazine's annual list of "The Richest People in America" published September 21, 2011, the city itself is now home to 17 billionaires, up from 14 in 2009. In 2009 (with 14 billionaires) the city placed 6th worldwide among cities with the most billionaires.[94][95] The ranking does not even take into account the 8 billionaires who live in the neighboring city of Fort Worth. Dallas is currently the third most popular destination for business travel in the United States, and the Dallas Convention Center is one of the largest and busiest convention centers in the country, at over 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m2), and the world's single-largest column-free exhibit hall. Events The most notable event held in Dallas is the State Fair of Texas, which has been held annually at Fair Park since 1886. The fair is a massive event, bringing in an estimated $350 million to the city's economy annually. The Red River Shootout, which pits the University of Texas at Austin against The University of Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl also brings significant crowds to the city. The city also hosts the State Fair Classic and Heart of Dallas Bowl at the Cotton Bowl. Sports The Dallas metropolitan area is home to six major league sports teams: the Dallas Cowboys (National Football League), Dallas Mavericks (National Basketball Association), Texas Rangers (Major League Baseball), Dallas Stars (National Hockey League), FC Dallas (Major League Soccer), and Dallas Wings (Women's National Basketball Association). The Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League play in nearby Arlington, Texas. Since joining the league as an expansion team in 1960, the Cowboys have enjoyed substantial success, advancing to eight Super Bowls and winning five; according to profootballreference.com, as of the end of the 2009 season they were the winningest active NFL franchise. Known widely as "America's Team", the Dallas Cowboys are financially the most valuable sports 'franchise' in the United States, worth approximately 1.5 billion dollars.[122] In 2009, the Cowboys relocated to their new 80,000-seat stadium in Arlington, which was the site of Super Bowl XLV. The Dallas Mavericks play at the American Airlines Center. They won their first National Basketball Association championship in 2011 led by Dirk Nowitzki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g55711-Activities-Dallas_Texas.html http://www.visitdallas.com/ https://weather.com/weather/today/l/USTX0327:1:US http://www.zillow.com/dallas-tx/downtown-dallas-_att/

great video but to all the cynics, j utah mostly showed only central downtown. However, uptown, deep vellum, design district, the cedars and the southside had limited coverage. these are more walkable than the center. central downtown dallas wasn't built in the 20s, 30s, and 40s, like the eastern US. it was mostly constructed in the 80s around big oil and finance. these buildings didn't allow for lower level retail. soon however with the revitalization of old corporate headquarters, there will be tom thumbs, parks retail, and walkability. also dallas will soon experiment in having the first connected systems downtown; systems like electronic waste management big data traffic analysis, and big data crowd analysis to help understand peoples interactions with the city. dallas has gotten a lot better and will continue to improve

Just watched your video of Downtown Dallas. Thank you for recording it & posting it. I left the Dallas area 22 years this month - December, 1994. And then I was living out in Allen, Texas on a horse ranch, & right down the road from Southfork. It has changed a ton since I moved there in January of 1977. I can't get over how there are no shopping places like Sanger-Harris, Titches, Neiman Marcus. I think I located the building I work in - LTV Tower(Webber, Hall, & Caudle. Also, worked at Price Waterhouse. But, I don't see the Mercantile Building, (Raucheer Pierce, Refsnes) anymore. Didn't a building go in with the name Avenue of the Americas? There were places to eat downtown when we girls would go out at lunchtime but, really can't tell where there are any now, hardly. The West-In as it is called now, I remember eating at the Spaghetti Warehouse. Wasn't there a school of some kind down in the area. Isn't the Addison area near that? I can't seem to remember. Not. use to seeing Woodall Rogers road. There are so many newer & taller buildings now, & just doesn't seem user-friendly now.

Hello,
I am doing a project for high school and I was wanting to gain permission from you to use a few clips of your video for non commercial work, if you have any questions feel free to ask. Stunning work. Thanks -
Did you drive down the street where JFK was shot?

This video was probably shot on a Saturday or Sunday, seeing as how it was posted on a Monday. The shadows indicate it was shot in the morning, too.

It's disgusting what they've done to the city I grew up in. Maybe you noticed that there's no longer a single department store in downtown Dallas. Even Neiman Marcus moved out. People are abandoning downtown Dallas in droves as they flee the slum areas surrounding it only a few blocks from where this video was shot. Downtown Dallas is nothing but a huge office park now, at least during the daytime.

Why are there so less people in the streets?

completely destroyed City center

Wow, the ignorance of these comments is real. Most people not used to sunbelt cities expect there to tons of people downtown. Your cities up north cram a WHOLE lot of people into a small area. Cities like Seattle with only 142sq miles use their downtown as their focal point. Cities like Houston and Dallas have multiple city centers(and skylines btw) where activity is spread out all over the vast land area. Not to mention there is underground activity underneath. This video of downtown does=/=not represent all the activity in the city.

good
