Without a doubt, Bank of America Plaza is one of downtown Dallas’s most recognizable buildings. The 72-story architectural giant has been the city’s tallest building since 1985 and is the 22nd tallest building the country. It’s green neon outline, which is said to have been chosen to resemble the color of money, is unmistakeable on [...]

48 years ago, on November 22 at around 2 p.m., Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested at The Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff on suspicion of assassinating President John F. Kennedy.

A major US city is no place to mess around when it comes to Black Friday deal-hunting. Dallas is no different, so I took the liberty of compiling my Black Friday picks into one chaotic article.
