I spent a lot of time looking into all the places Dallas used on screen! My family thinks it is weird! Lol. I just love that there are actually other people that find it as interesting as I do!

Does anybody know where Jack’s house from the dream season is?

I put it at 3619 Summershore Ln in Westlake Village in CA. That complex is also the condo of crazy Connie that Ray visits in season 11.
Also, do you have the nearby Boccaccio's Restaurant on your map? It pops up frequently.
Had no idea. That's so far out of the way I never would've guessed that one. Google street view doesn't show Boccaccios. The outside is not familiar. Was it used for inside shots?

It was used for inside and outside shots. I think s06e20 shows the interior and you can make out the name on something. The outside dining (in the rear facing the water) shows up more frequently, but perhaps because it is recognizable.
Besides season 6, I have spotted it in seasons 9, 11, 13, and 14.
Time to kill this morning...
This gives an overall perspective on where locations are in relation to downtown Dallas. I'm a visual guy, and
this helps me get a feel for the area.

b - Southfork s1 - 5 pilots - Brinkmann Ranch
c - Southern Cross
d - Pam's house from Rebecca
e - Pam's house were Bobby was mowed down by Catherine
f - first season or so for office interior with downtown office view from JR's side office window
g - Barnes Wentworth - "gold" towers
h - Ft Worth Stockyards
i - Parkland Hospital
j - Hunt estate on White Rock Lake
k - DFW Airport
L - Las Colinas

n - SMU
o - ATT Stadium (Cowboys) and TX Rangers ballfield
p - Cowboys stadium until 2009
q - Ray's second house, McKay bought
r - hard to see in upper left of University Park. It's the Park Cities area.
Not shown - downtown detail with Ewing building, and Bryan tower where Ewing Oil offices were supposed to be in
first 5 ep's, among others. They are approximately underneath the first 'a' in "Dallas"

Here is a Dallas exterior that doesn’t get recognized too often - The Meadows Building at 5646 Milton St, Dallas, TX. It sits between Central Expressway and Greenville Avenue. This exterior was shown onscreen as the office of Harv Smithfield (starting 6.2). Information about the The Meadows Building: http://www.cosmicool.com/midcent/meadows.html
Street view: https://goo.gl/maps/Mnn5B392VSXy8h4E6
The Energy Square complex was shown several times: as a meeting place between Mitch and Lucy near the courtyard fountain (5.7), as a meeting place between Bobby and Faraday (5.7 and 5.8) and where Naldo tells Jenna to meet (8.9).
The complex is currently being remodeled.

I had to do the same thing! I started with a table, but I needed to see it in a map!
In the first of 5 pilots (s1), Pam finds Digger to tell him of her marriage to Bobby. Not sure if it was the deli or where the building is going up. The pic shows the corner of Houston and Wood. (Make a right at the light then it's 2 blocks to Reunion Tower. 3 blocks back is Dealey Plaza.)

I suspect the exterior was in Westlake, California but I have never been able to definitively confirm my suspicions.

306 S Houston is located where the deli is today. As Pam leaves the bar the address is briefly shown on the door.
Excellent. I missed that!

It would be so exciting to go there and see all those places by myself. But sadly i'm not allowed to enter the US anymore.

Here is one from season 10...
Jenna’s house in Braddock was actually located at 301 N. Jackson in Wylie, Texas! https://goo.gl/maps/UcrhaeXTQQenZ3MW9
I’ll share some other locations in Wylie soon.

I sadly believed that the dutch flying company KLM was trustworthy. Huge mistake!
In 2002 i wanted to make holidays in Miami for 6 weeks, had saved money all the year for that. I booked the hotel and the flight seperately.
My Passport was valid only 5 weeks longer, so the last week of my holidays i would have had no valid passport anymore.
So i went to the airport a few days before the flight to ask if that was a problem, because i could have easily organized a provisional passport which was valid for 8 weeks and cover the whole time.
That asshole from the KLM counter told me "No problem sir, it's only important that your passport is valid at the moment of entering the US, you don't need a provisional passport." followed by a disgusting smile. Allright then, so i don't have to worry about that.
So a few days later at December 30th we landed in Miami, went to immigration and i showed them my passport. They asked me "Are you aware that your passport will expire during your stay here?" I said "Yes".
"Wrong answer, sir. I will not let you in like this. If you said you didn't know, it would not have been a problem."
WHAAAAT?!
I felt they were kidding me big time! I got very angry and said that KLM told me it's okay like that and that i could enter.
He showed me the paper with the rules. It was written there that in such case they would MAYBE let me enter, but that would be up to the officer of immigration.
And because i said i knew my Passport was going to expire, they didn't let me in. Because i told the truth!!! Had i lied, it would not have been a problem!
It was a year after 9/11 and they really treated me and my friend like criminals, opened my suitcase and all the bags, threw the stuff on the floor and my Gameboy and several more stuff was broken by those officers.
Of course my friend didn't want to make the holidays alone, so we were put right into a flight back to germany. It was December 31st and we were on our flight back, when normally we were supposed to watch the great fireworks at Miami Beach. Worst newyear EVER! :brick:
I was told, that from now on my entry in the US database is marked for lifetime. It will always just depend on the mood of the immigration officer if i can enter or not. If the guy has a bad day or just doesn't like my nose, i can't get in. To high of a risk for me, so i can't visit the US anymore.
Back in Germany i went to that f*cking KLM and said i wanted the money back at least for the flight, because they gave me the wrong information.
"You got what you paid for sir, one flight to the US and one flight back!" Yeah, great! THANKS A LOT!!!
I asked the lawyer of my parents for help, who is very good and a friend of the family, and he said that i really can't do anything in that case. It was my fault that i trusted that KLM guy.
They fullfilled their debt, i got the 2 flights. And rules of immigration say that it's always the passenger's duty to inform himself of the immigration rules.
But what more can i do than ask directly at the KLM desk at the airport and they say "It's okay"???
So money for the flights gone, money for the nice appartament in Miami beach gone... and i have a lifetime problem with entering the US now and can't do anything about it.
Sorry for this long offtopic post.

What a disastrous combination of misinformation and bad timing!
But an invalid passport is always a no go, and maybe the situation could have been worse e.g. you were allowed to enter and stay for the time of your holiday, only to find out that you couldn't board the plane back to Europe!
The only solution I can think of is getting a new identity, preferably that of a person related to Royalty.
There's a long list on unused Dynasty names to choose from.
