Fun Fact: I am 3rd generation Texan (Dallas) and we actually call corn dogs "corny dogs" I didn't know that the rest of the US calls them corn dogs until someone asked why I say corny dogs. Fletchers corny dogs at The State Fair of Texas invented them.
@@trevorjameson3213 I grew up around the Spring Valley/Coit area. The Egg Roll Express is STILL there! 😱 A lot has changed in that area but it's nice to occasionally drive there. I'm now in a very new area of North Dallas. All the amenities and lots to do.
I’m really enjoying your travels, you’re videos were always great fun. The new format is fantastic and super commentary. Safe travels and the best with all the adventures.
Thank you for the kind words! We're in testing phase now. In a couple weeks we'll be going full-time, and will be putting up 3 to 5 videos weekly. We plan on visiting all 50 states.
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip that’s really super I look so forward to it. Not being able to travel in the last year and a half has sucked. So watching your videos is like being on a wee vacation. We’re not even allowed to drive into the USA from Canada right now. We can fly in but then there’s hundreds of dollars for covid testing when we come home. If you test positive you have to spend thousands of dollars in covid hotels back here at home.
There are a WHOLE lot more places to go and things to see and do, besides just those three things, so keep that in mind when you come here! This is a huge, giant metro area that goes for miles and miles so it could take several trips to see all the cool stuff here.
Over the last couple weeks I have watched (and I got my parents & hubby hooked) tons of your travels. We love travel too. But we all find the Commentary interesting & the neighborhood & car vlog is like we’re all riding along with you. Love it!! Please make more
:) THANKS MUCH! LOVED IT! I remember many of those places I never got to living there most of the 16 years of my time in DFW. GGreat place, and much to do and see, but not so much when I was working there most of the time. ALL the BEST and safe travels! Cheers! :)
Another food invention in Dallas: German Chocolate Cake formulated by a housewife in Parkdale/Pleasant Grove who submitted the recipe to The Dallas Morning News in 1957.
I’ve never been to Dallas, except to the airport to transfer planes, so thanks for showing me things I’ll probably never get to see in person. It was all very interesting, especially the JFK stuff, how they preserved it all.
I enjoy your videos because they provide insights into stuff I never imagined. I lived in Dallas four months in 1971 because of a job transfer. Dallas was a disappointment compared to two large cities I had previously resided, Houston and St. Louis. That disappointment was a good thing, because I ended up in NYC and stayed 40 years (no longer there). Dallas apparently has changed a lot since I was there, as I don't recall any of the things highlighted in your tour. Makes me think I should return for a visit, even a short one. Maybe I will, as I'm planning a vacation to Houston. Keep traveling and enjoy!
Okay, so… who’s the hot babe? I know, I know, I just wanted to give you guys a shout out from a an old guy, born and raised in Dallas. I’d forgotten about the Dallas Aquarium. Thanks for the reminder.
I have been bing watching your videos for the past 2 days. I have some questions for you. Where do you reside when you are not filming? Those hotels and restaurants add up. I know that you have sold your house, but, do you have any residual income coming in? You don’t want to use up the money from selling your home, you are going to need that money for your retirement. Good luck on your journey. The next time that you are in my neck of the woods, look me up. I would love to tag along with you on one of your destinations.
I was there that day. I was 4 and I was born at Baylor hospital in 1959. We lived in the suburbs but had to go Dallas to get my shots, so I was at Baylor that day and I asked my mom why were there so many people on the streets. By the time we got home to Garland he’d been shot .
I just realized that I have been here, I have a faint memory of going to downtown Dallas around 12 years old, I didn’t know where or cared where we were but after seeing this video I recognize the inside of it and the outside where y’all walked by.
Love your videos. Absolutely devastated when I saw Tucker Carlson on the TV in one of your hotel rooms. Fox News? Trump supporters? Please no! Rick, Australia
I grew up in Dallas, and I attended Dallas schools throughout the 60s and partial 70's. While looking at all those boxes of school books, I can't help but wonder, had I read or used any of the books during my 12 years of education? I' 'guessing, and the odds are very much in my favor, I most likely did. Dallas, despite all news reports, is a very fascinating, versatile, and urbane city. And, at 10:35, we see a sawfish at the Dallas World Aquarium. You are welcome!
I made a point of watching for the "sawfish" you mention. I wouldn't have know it was a sawfish - thought it was a stingray. Actually, I think the sawfish is shown at 11:00. Wow, what a strange-looking animal looking from below!
I have been to Dallas/Ft Worth but was on job assignment, did not have any time to call my own. It looks like I missed all of the sights. I wish I could do it over, but that won't happen so I will pay attention to your vlogs!😊😊
i would love to visit Dallas some day. ive only been thru changing planes. i like the straight thru flights. i was in first grade when Kennedy was shot. our teacher had brought in a tv for us to watch. when he was shot she turned it off and we were sent home. and i hate the masks too. most places have stopped requiring them now. what amazes me is i will see someone driving in their car all by themselves with a mask on. ok im gonna behave now. thanks for sharing
35 state capitol buildings, the Old City Hall in Dallas, the Morton H Meyerson Symphony Center, the Pentagon, the Empire State Building, and many others are built with stone from two counties in Indiana. One of those counties is also the birthplace to THREE astronauts, and has a preserved pioneer village from 1818 complete with a functioning grist mill. If you ever head to southern Indiana, you are welcome to reach out to me, and I can provide you tons of info that should make for some great video. Either way, my wife and I love your videos!
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip it was such a cool vibrant place in the midst of decay and despair In many ways I left there in 1987 after a serious Wreck One of those blessings in disguise I am in Medina Texas & center point Texas. Look for me on the streets with a Clydesdale in any area. Your videos are stellar. Keep them coming Best wishes to you two happy trails
You should have visited the 3 teddy Bears in Highland Park and the haunted railroad trestle in oak cliff, lol Both are well documented but people in Dallas don't know about them, lol. Took me 20+ yrs to find out about the teddy bears and lived within 2 miles of them. Enjoy you're travels.
I used to work across the street from Gators at TGI Fridays, I heard that they closed down for good in 2020 though, lots of memories there in the West End.
You know Joe I hate to be a Karen and I'm trying not to be I'm trying to work this this way I can when you brought up the way you brought up covid it kind of stuck in my car hell we're all sick and tired of the aftereffects and people that really carry it too far but I don't mind wearing a mask when I see people snorting all over the place and the little boogers slimy boogers all over themselves and then wipe it on the rails that you were going along in that aquarium and I'm sure catching some of it the amount of people we lost and I lost some good friends and I'm sure you did too kids just be careful you guys are out and about all the time what you make y'all even more vulnerable and 100% Target sure don't want to lose y'all y'all got a damn good y'all got a great thing going and I'm really enjoying it and anytime anybody doesn't know anything about y'all I certainly let thim know.. you involved everybody that's watching your video when you talk about stats and how a place is and the history behind it you educate my God they're not even teaching history of anything and schools anymore Texas history even Alamo is old hat I had one young fella tell me one day now that just wrecked me do not know the history of where you were raised to me that's almost sacrilegious
I see it every day, for 36 years driving into downtown to work, and then all over the entire city for job site work. This is a truly great city and super nice! This video covers only a tiny fraction of it because this place is HUGE!
Kennedy shooting ; I was in 1st grade the teachers had us all go into the hall and sit down. we were then sent home. My friend came over to my house and we watched on TV, We were out of school for three days. I never talked it over with my parents and they never talked to me. It wasn't till late I seen a video about Monroe .. Nuts it was.
Born and raised in DFW, and I'm 38. It's growing so quick, there's parts of the city I don't know. It's not the same city it was 10 yrs much less 20 yrs ago.
I came to Dallas for the first time when I was 8 years old. We were coming from NE Louisiana to Six Flags, which ofcourse is in Arlington. We did tour downtown Dallas. One year later, in 1963, I'm sitting in my living room at home, watching the horrible event of the day, the assassination of President Kennedy. As a 9 year old, it was surreal, realizing that I had been in that very place. Fast forward to 1975, I'm grown, married, and one baby in tow, and moving to Glen Rose south of Dallas. My husband helped to build the nuclear power plant there. I worked in the Mary Kay business for awhile. Just curious...is the big gold Mary Kay tower still downtown? The skyline has certainly changed. I was in Dallas for the last time in 2004.
In california hanging gators is probably illegal, also big knives, blackjacks, militaria to hand above the fire place, they say everything in california is 3 inches
I wouldnt live in Dallas. A few years ago like in 2015, a black friend flew to Dallas for a job interview. Later on that night, she was walking to her rental car after dinner and a guy drove by & yelled out "NI****R!"
That has nothing to do with Dallas being bad. It was just a bad person doing that. Most of the people in this city get along just fine. Remember, this is an international city, very diverse, many people from all over the world live here and most people get along just fine, regardless of race or nationality. It's part of what makes this a great city.
Your in my home town thanks for visiting us
Dallas must be so cool! Thank you Joe And Nic!

Lovely scenery!
Awesome history lesson, thank you

Thank you for that, Billy!
I love the Dallas Aquarium.
I try to go there every time I'm in Big D.
What a cool Aquarium-that weird fish with the mouth is a sword fish. I might watch this vid again. Thanks. Looks like you guys had a great fun day.
Thank you!
I remember that date so clearly, I was at the Sun building in Vancouver B C when the News came down Kennedy was shot , Some thing I will never forget

The buildings near the Arena where the Dallas Mavericks play, lights up blue or green at night.

Oswald of course if he was the shooter, did not act alone.

It is, but it’s really touristy now. 😀

Come west, to vegas, stop here though, you don't want to go all the way to CA.
