Brick streets, trolley cars, eclectic dining and upscale shopping create the unique and dynamic personality of Dallas Uptown and its neighboring communities. Known as one of the more fashionable neighborhoods of Dallas, Uptown offers loads of sights and sounds to explore. Some experiences not to miss include the Uptown Trails Cemetery Tour and the performances of the Uptown Players. The cemetery is the final resting place of eight Dallas mayors, two of whom died by gunshot wounds. The similar and untimely deaths of former mayors Ben Long and J.M. Thurmond occurred just five years apart in the late-19th century.

If you’re looking for more cheerful entertainment, spend the afternoon at the Gallery Walk District.

Many movie houses and small theatres are also clustered in this area. The Uptown Players, a theatre organization established in 2001, holds performances at the Trinity River Arts Center.
