In episode 8, we welcome photographer Richard Doherty whose book Framing Oak Cliff offers a deeply personal visual diary of this vibrant Dallas neighborhood. Over 40 years, Richard has documented Oak Cliff’s ever-changing streets, capturing candid panoramas, quiet neighborhood scenes, and the small, often-overlooked details that define daily life. In this conversation, Richard shares his journey, revealing the stories behind his favorite shots, his unique techniques, and the inspiration that Oak Cliff provides. Join us for an exploration of Oak Cliff’s lasting impact on Richard’s work and the heart of the community as seen through his lens.

In episode 7, we sit down with Jimmy Contreras, the visionary behind Taco Y Vino and LadyLove, to explore how he’s crafted Oak Cliff’s ultimate “third place”—a welcoming spot that’s as perfect for locals as it is for out-of-town guests. Jimmy shares insights into the spirit of Oak Cliff, the power of communal spaces, and how his team’s dedication has helped Taco Y Vino become a North Texas favorite. From pandemic pivots to the art of pairing tacos and wine, Jimmy’s journey reflects Oak Cliff’s unique blend of resilience, warmth, and community connection.
