On Location #40 - TNT's Dallas Episodes 16-18


 Well we've clearly fallen behind on this so we'll try to burn through a few more episodes to catch up.  Luckily these featured a lot of interiors and Southfork shots so there's not a lot for us to track down.  Let's start near downtown Dallas:


Rebecca's new apartment is in one of the newest buildings in the city, Museum Tower:


The new building caused a controversy with its neighbor, the Nasher Sculpture Center.  As the reflection (at certain parts of the day) was described as a "Death Ray" by visiting art lovers.

The next episode featured a return location to Adair's Saloon in Depp Ellum:


John Ross and the family detective meet there to discuss various Ewing schemes and shenanigans.  You may also remember it as the post-oil strike celebration location in the first episode.


Sadly the next episode features the death of an icon.  The storyline had J.R.'s murder taking place in a hotel in Mexico:


But the famous and historic Cowtown Coliseum in the Fort Worth Stockyards played the part of the Hotel Colon:


Dallas the show and Dallas the city will never be the same without the villainous J.R. Ewing and the legendary Larry Hagman.
