The Piña Loca Fruteria

Have you ever dreamed of experiencing a State Fair that features tons of blue-ribbon animals, favorite fair food, games, major entertainment, and plenty of family fun? Well, the State Fair of Texas is just that! This annual festival takes place over four weeks in September and October, and it's worth checking out. If you happened to miss out on the opportunity to purchase a Big Tex t-shirt or a State Fair of Texas holiday ornament, don't worry. You can shop Big Tex merch all year round in their online store. They have shirts, hats, novelties, and even accessories for your dogs.

The Granada Theater must have been quite the spectacle when it first opened in the Dallas market on January 16, 1946, with the screening of "Mildred Pierce." Even today, it continues to impress with its stunning exterior adorned with neon lights that evoke the glitz and glamor of Hollywood's Golden Era. You'll find plenty of art deco designs inside and out, with rounded corners and linear accents that harken back to a bygone era. You will want to attend the main hall's original art murals, designed by the same artists behind Los Angeles's famed Grauman's Chinese Theater. These grand-scale murals depict various film genres, while the ceiling features a stunning mythological "film goddess" standing over a film reel. It's truly a sight to behold.
