Dallas TV returns to Southfork
With much anticipation, the new Dallas
TV series premiers June 13th on TNT
The opening music will be
similar, with an updated Dallas skyline that includes the impressive new
Omni Hotel Convention Center.
The
venerable Larry Hagman reprises his role as J.R. Ewing. We have made
several travels over the years to the Dallas metro area to feature
unique area hotels, b&bs and attractions. With the new series, it should
generate renewed interest in Dallas and the Southfork
Ranch attraction. My first trip to Southfork was the mid-point on a
whirlwind road trip to California in 1988. The show was still rolling
along, and I got a chance to walk through Larry Hagman's Winnebago. Now,
almost 25 years later, Hagman in his own unique style is having a custom
Airstream made for when he does choose to retire for good and enjoy the
open road. Read about in a recent
interview with Larry Hagman.

Ranch
We plan to make a return trip to the Dallas area and
will provide updates soon.

Willie's Place at Carl's Corner, Texas
While on a return business trip from Dallas, we stopped in at Willie's
Place at Carl's Corner. Even though Willie Nelson has gotten in
trouble with the law with a weed possession, by the looks of Willie's
Place he appears to be doing well with his Cafe/Saloon/Restaurant/Bio
Fuel Station. Entertainers play at the Saloon often. Check them out on Twitter.
A
fun and entertaining stop between Dallas and Waco for country music fans
and travelers alike.
The only thing that would make it an all around
experience for those that travel through would be to open an RV Resort
with cabins next door....
The
Blue Skies Cafe offers a wide selection of tasty dishes. Photos,
posters, awards, and Willie memorabilia line the walls. The Whiskey
River Saloon offers nightly entertainment. You may just see Willie make
an appearance.
