Oak Cliff Remembers the heroes of 9/11
A sculpture at The Oak Cliff Bank Tower (on Zang Boulevard between 12th Street and Centre Streets) is a commemoration of the September 11, 2001 attacks. This 10,000 pound, 23-foot tall sculpture is called "The Gates" and was created by Greensboro, N.C. artist Jim Gallucci. It was installed on Sept. 10, 2009 to commemorate the 8th anniversary of the event. One of the impressive features of this all-metal sculpture is that it includes actual steel beams from the World Trade Center. The name comes from Gallucci, who said of the sculpture, "A gate in time that closed a world to us and opened a world. The world of innocence and openness is closed." A second piece of the sculpture is planned for the future, and the set may eventually be located near the Trinity.

This is a picture of the old Kessler Theater, on the corner of Davis and Clinton (during renovation). Standing is Jeffery Liles and Edwin Cabaniss -- they have done a fantastic job renovating the theater. It was built in 1941, owned by Gene Autry and Universial Studios, and was hit by the tornado in 1957. After that, it never reopened as a theater. This building has seen a lot of Oak Cliff's history. Now through the efforts of these two Oak Cliff visionaries, this place is rocking and rolling with new life. See upcoming events and how to rent this facility at their wesite at www.thekessler.org.
New -- For more Oak Cliff memories, visit YesterCliff where old haunts can still be visited, at least in your memories...Sivils, Pig Stands, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bronco Bowl, and others..
