The Old Mill Restaurant in Fair Park. We always ate there on the last night we attended the State Fair. We also liked to go there to eat before attending the Dallas Summer Musicals at Fair Park, 909 1st Ave, Dallas, TX 75210

I remember the first time I pulled off 35E to buy liquor. No one told me the store was next to the gun range. I must admit getting out of the car and hearing gun shots gave me pause.

1984 was the year Green Valley Raceway closed I believe, while known for the drag races that took place there it also had a great road course that saw the likes of Parnelli Jones, Carroll Shelby and more at various times in it's 20 plus year history .. here is a You Tube video of the entire Trans Am race that took place there in 1984 ..
