I love the shots with the old signage such as "The Best Western Motel" (Caravan Motor Hotel), "Quality Inn," 'Days Inn" (when the rates were apparently "$8.00 & Up,") and the iconic "AAA Approved" sign. Thanks for sharing this road trip back in time and "Happy Motoring!"
Now Arlington Population has shrunk. 1st time in its history it lost population. No fixed bus routes has finally turned off folks. Seems the VIA isn't enough. Kids aren't even allow to ride in that VIA van alone without an adult over 18.
i grew up in a nearby city, and Arlington (not Dallas) was always the place to go! Not just for Six Flags, but also shopping on the weekends, like Six Flags mall. Sometimes, I miss those places terribly because I know it will never be the same again. I even miss Seven Seas.

WONDERFUL!
Arlington would add new attractions over time, like a water park, two replacement ballparks, the Bowling Hall of Fame, and Jerry World.
