Highland Park Airport was on Coit Rd. at Valley View I think. There was also the Garland and White Rock Airpots.

Duck Inn is still in business I believe.

Yes, I believe (although I wasn't driving yet and can't say for sure) that Springer stables was in that area.

I remember those mobile homes on Preston with bright portable signs out front. Did they advertise as massage parlors?

Yep! I was a senior in H.S. at the time. Trying to remember who was there.....Hard to remember much about that day/evening. Don't know why.

I was too young!

But as I always say, the 1960s didn't get to Dallas until almost 1970.
