I won't dwell on it, but here's one of my occasional attempts at self-promotion to mention that there is a Flashback Dallas Patreon page (subscribe for as little as $5 a month). See what I've been posting about recently. https://t.co/EDwTbGTi7v
Watch this really well-made short film about Dallas City Hall. It is the first installment of a series, which will continue on the YouTube channel. https://t.co/Mw2rilA8dI

Merry Christmas! As construction work was going on in Fair Park for the 1936 Texas Centennial, Santa and his Texas cow ponies were getting ready: a Centennial Rangerette had to help Santa don and doff tight cowboy boots. (Centennial Times, 12/21/35, Dallas Historical Society)
Happy Thanksgiving! Watch a fun and entertaining interview with author David Fleming @FlemFile conducted by the Dallas History & Archives. His new book on the disastrous 1952 Dallas Texans (NFL) is out now! https://t.co/ppuECoo2JQ

Don't forget to set your clocks back! Speaking of the Merc, I work with a lot of very young people, 100% of whom say "mercan-TILE." I've tried to politely suggest that it's "mercan-TEEL," but they're not having it. Your thoughts on its pronunciation? https://t.co/3GrMfb3WUV
