SoPac Trail

Highlight • Trail

Its a straight shot from white rock to the nearest liquor store. Watch out for the homeless sleeping under the bridges and the path that links to the Ridgewood trail sometimes People come down that fast. Its also a very interesting place at night.

The bike repair station here is stripped of parts. The nearest one is at white rock. Also if you go under the bridge you'll find cool graffiti.

Dallas Morning News

Highlight • Monument

The Dallas Morning News building at 508 Young Street is a landmark property from 1949, designed by architect George Dahl. It is known as the “Rock of Truth”, referring to the motto engraved in the granite facade. The building served as the newspaper's headquarters for nearly sixty years and once housed enormous, three-story-high printing presses. Today, it is an important piece of Dallas history and a recognizable example of mid-20th-century architecture.
