Dallas TV returns to Southfork
      With much anticipation, the new Dallas 
      TV series premiers June 13th on TNT
The opening music will be 
      similar, with an updated Dallas skyline that includes the impressive new 
      Omni Hotel Convention Center.
The 
      venerable Larry Hagman reprises his role as J.R. Ewing. We have made 
      several travels over the years to the Dallas metro area to feature 
      unique area hotels, b&bs and attractions. With the new series, it should 
      generate renewed interest in Dallas and the Southfork 
      Ranch attraction. My first trip to Southfork was the mid-point on a 
      whirlwind road trip to California in 1988. The show was still rolling 
      along, and I got a chance to walk through Larry Hagman's Winnebago. Now, 
      almost 25 years later, Hagman in his own unique style is having a custom 
      Airstream made for when he does choose to retire for good and enjoy the 
      open road. Read about in a recent 
      interview with Larry Hagman.

We plan to make a return trip to the Dallas area and 
      will provide updates soon.

Willie's Place at Carl's Corner, Texas
      While on a return business trip from Dallas, we stopped in at Willie's 
      Place at Carl's Corner. Even though Willie Nelson has gotten in 
      trouble with the law with a weed possession, by the looks of Willie's 
      Place he appears to be doing well with his Cafe/Saloon/Restaurant/Bio 
      Fuel Station. Entertainers play at the Saloon often. Check them out on Twitter.
A 
      fun and entertaining stop between Dallas and Waco for country music fans 
      and travelers alike.
The only thing that would make it an all around 
      experience for those that travel through would be to open an RV Resort 
      with cabins next door.... 
 
The 
      Blue Skies Cafe offers a wide selection of tasty dishes. Photos, 
      posters, awards, and Willie memorabilia line the walls. The Whiskey 
      River Saloon offers nightly entertainment. You may just see Willie make 
      an appearance.

      To say that the new Cullen's restaurant is massive is an understatement.

      upscale American dining experience indoors or outdoors, with bar, 
      billiards room, and live entertainment all under one roof. The cozy

      surroundings.
    
      Since opening in 2008, Cullen's has continued to expand their menu 
      selections, ranging from steaks, chicken, seafood, subs or pizza. The

      special events, there is a circular ballroom that can accomodate up to 
      200 guests.
