I don't know anything about Dallas, but I've been around BGOL long enough to know that when Oak Cliff is mentioned in a story/conversation, it's gonna be some shit.

Oak Cliff has its good parts and bad parts....like the Bishop Arts district....its nice over there.
But people that are not from Dallas tend to equate the Oak Cliff section of Dallas with South Dallas.....and its actually 2 different areas, although both areas are in the southern part of Dallas.
Now south Dallas, where I'm from, there are no good parts. All of south Dallas is terrible.
