My photos of the Bishop Arts District in Oak Cliff are unexciting, for two reasons. One, don't go to the Bishop Arts District on a Monday, when many of the businesses are closed. Unless you want to get a lot of photos of buildings and not people. Two, I'm just not very good at taking candid photos of people. My bad. But even though my photos of the Bishop Arts District are not exciting, the Bishop Arts District itself is.
More, please.
More unexciting photos after the jump.
All photos from our afternoon in the Bishop Arts District can be seen on

We lived in North Oak Cliff in the 1980s and early 1990s (Winnetka Heights Historic District), and I am happy to see the Bishop Arts District finally taking off...it's been 30+ years in the making.
We spent New Year's Eve dinner several times in the District, if for no other reason than we could drive through a few back streets and get there and back, without having to get out on the highways with all the people who had over indulged. We even had our wedding dinner at Tillman's not long after it opened - the menu is still on the wall in our hall. I'm glad to see that Sara has kept the place open all these years...
The Bishop Arts District is an object lesson for urban renewal...sometimes it takes a loooong time to make it work, but persistence can pay off...
