[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 76570, member: 237"] Great questions, Matthew. Here are the answers: [I]How long would it take to drive from the Ewing Building to Southfork? [/I] If we use the Renaissance Tower as the Ewing Building then the drive takes about 40 minutes. It takes me time to get over to my car and then out the parking gate, but the Ewings wouldn't have to worry about that. The Valet's warm up their cars and park them facing the exit. The interesting thing is that with traffic, it takes longer to get from the Ewing Building to the outside edge of Dallas than it takes to get from the outside edge of Dallas to Southfork. [I]Why is there no security on Southfork?[/I] This is a unique thing to America, and to Texas specifically. A ranch like Southfork is considered a family home. A bunch of security guards, no matter how discreet, makes it seem less like a home. The closest thing to security at those ranches is a gate like you see in the show. And notice how often this gate is just sitting wide open. Funny story about younger me: I used to deliver hay to many ranches similar to Southfork. If the gates were closed, I could almost always get in by entering the following codes: 1234 or 0000 or 1111 In real life, there are ranches like Southfork all over Texas where delivery people need to get in and they either just push the gate open, or try one of those codes and they work. There isn't any security and for some reason there aren't any problems. [I]What kind of vehicles are parked at the Cattlemans' Club in 2017? [/I] The last time I was a the Steak House that is the closest thing to the Cattleman's club, here is what was parked there: Three Chevrolet Suburbans (Which does make sense because Ray drove one). Several new pickup trucks A new Buick My truck, a Black Silverado It suprises people who expect to see limosines, but in Texas even rich people prefer to drive themselves. Thank you for the good questions, and if anything else pops into your head, just ask! [/QUOTE]
