03.10.11 It’s the TV show that made us famous for something other than presidential assassination. The Texas Theatre, 231 W. Jefferson, brings “Dallas” to the ’hood, screening every episode of the hit ’80s TV show at 8 p.m. Sundays.
The Texas, of course, is not just the best place for a Pearl Light in Dallas. It’s also where police nabbed Lee Harvey Oswald on Nov. 22, 1963.

JEFFERSON BOULEVARDREVITALIZATION: NEWNEIGHBORSBRINGNEWLIFE
03.30.11 In the past year, several new neighbors have moved onto Jefferson, the longtime heart of Oak Cliff, giving the street added life and vitality. Three of them are particularly unique.
The historic Texas Theatre is bringing folks from across the river with film classics, indie films, Texas-based documentaries and awards show watch parties. The bar is becoming a neighborhood hangout, particularly in view of its fine martini.
In the nonprofit arena, AIDS Arms now has its professional staff on four floors of Jefferson Tower. More than 75 staffers who now work at that historic building are patronizing the restaurants and shops in the area.
The Oak Cliff Cultural Center has recently opened and has already hosted many art exhibits. The Center is next door to the Texas Theatre and, between the two venues, Jefferson Boulevard is increasingly becoming an entertainment destination for the entire city.
