What you're looking at here is Woodall Rodgers u/c and the DMA u/c as well. With that in mind, looking past Woodall into the part of Oak Lawn which is Uptown PID or Uptown non-PID and Victory Park you'll definitely feel 25+ years of change.

I remember when "Dallas" was on during the 80's. I would only watch the theme song portion just to see the skyline and not care about the series itself. During the later series, I remember seeing BoA under-construction during the theme song. I wonder if the "new" series of Dallas, that is forthcoming, will have the same type aerial views of the Dallas skyline.
