This is a sister thread to "For those of you who have been to Southfork"

This is aimed at those of you who have not visited Dallas yet, and here is a question for you:

If you could visit any Dallas location, where would it be?

And it can be any place at all, even if it doesn't exist any more.

For me, I'd like to sit on the patio of Ray and Donna's house, and just enjoy the breeze and watch the world go by.

What about you?

I would want to sit at the patio near the pool at my beloved Southfork.

I do hope that no re-development takes place as I do not want to see Southfork bulldozed to the ground. :(

Don't you worry about that, my friend. There are so many filming locations that give you the same great feeling of "being there" and they haven't gone away yet!

Also, there is one thing that may stop development of Southfork. Right now, water is more precious than oil in Texas. The developers may not be able to secure the water rights for a development. They have to prove adequate water supply for all the new houses, and this could trip them up.

Good!

Because it would really upset me if the Duncan Acres ranch that we know and love as Southfork got razed to the ground for re-development purposes. :(

Oh @Lastkidpicked you are playing with my heart strings here. My No.1 bucket list is to sit at the table beside the infamous swimming pool and just soak in the atmosphere. I'd close my eyes and just think of the legends; Jim, Barbara Bel, Larry, Ken, Howard etc.

I don't ask for much in life. But I do ask for a small lottery win just to get me to Dallas and visit Southfork.​

I know.

That ranch stands proud as possibly the only enduring character throughout the entire history of Dallas.

To destroy it and raze it to the ground beggars belief. I hope it can be saved. :)

It really should be labeled a National Landmark. People from all over the world go there!! It really is a part of history!!

It is a part of television history.

I do hope it can be saved. After all it is the Ewing family home as seen in the CBS series Dallas.

I hope it wont be demolished for re-development purposes. :(

@Rove The offer still stands that when you make it over the pond, I will buy you the biggest steak in Texas!

Here is an update for you.

The development I'm about to mention has nothing to do with Southfork other than it might set the trend.

I drive by every few weeks or so because of my job. Medium development. I'd guess 300 houses.

Suddenly everything stopped. The unfinished houses are just sitting there.

All the work crews are shut down because the promised water is no longer available. And all work stopped.

I go by there to soak in the free air conditioning and pick up the thrown away lumber I mean do research and it shows no sign of getting restarted yet.

This may cause developers to be nervous about the same thing happening at Southfork.

Whoever thought that water would be more valuable than oil.

i have no idea at all has anything been taking down? i mean the sets that were used of course were but anything else? one thing that the show Smallville did was when they were shooting on the farm the owners let them change stuff around and when they had their property get smashed up they were paid well for it.

that's a family that no doubt were able to afford quite a bit once they were done filming there. and even Arrow did an episode there as well if i recall. or was it the flash? it was both i think during a crossover. as for Dallas i'd say the pool i'd love to swim in it and maybe throw someone in it too lol but i doubt that even still exists anymore

The house where Pam lived and the driveway that Bobby got run over on. That’s house is not there anymore I heard? :-(

I´d also love to visit that house, especially Pam´s shower where Bobby resurrected, lol! It´s a great house and has been reformed since then, but it´s still there. I´d have a blast seeing all the places though but...

As for Southfork, after meeting the Fab Five in France in 2007, I came to decide that visiting the ranch couldn´t be as exciting, the real people were in next table! Besides, I read all your comments here about how small it is and how disappointing the inside is (and now even more, with that creepy room "where JR died" in it!), so I keep myself away and interacting with the actors in my (wild) dreams...
