Uptown

Don’t let those shiny cars, toys and hot bodies fool you, the 130 year-old neighborhood’s got soul!  In addition to the 100 or so restaurants, bars and clubs, 4 hotels, 4 live theaters and a smattering of galleries and shopping primarily at West Village, it’s home to 4 historical cemeteries, the largest collection of Victorian Homes in Dallas and remnants of a Freedman’s town. They are serviced by an open-air street car system referred affectionately by locals zipping down McKinney as, “that damn trolley!”.  Don’t pass on Cedar Springs or the offshoot streets, there’s plenty there also.  In recent years the resident numbers have grown to mirror the work population and why it’s hopping all the time.  A lot is packed into the 1/2 half mile wide and one mile long neighborhood.
