Good to Go Part 2

Previously:  Good to Go Part 1

Let's have another look at some Dallas shooting locations of the unjustly canceled Fox series "The Good Guys." This time our stop is Fair Park!

In episode #4 "The Dim Knight", an out of town chemical supplier meets with his translator right outside Centennial Hall. As they talk you can see the Hall of State in the background. (Later they go get hamburgers in a part of town that is not too far from there.)






In episode #8 "Silvio's Way" a duo of incompetent thieves target pharmacies. For some reason the producers thought that the Coliseum in Fair Park would make a great pharmacy in the episode...and it seems to work. (Later in the episode the thieves try to rob Raven's Pharmacy in south Dallas.)



In episode #12 Little Things" the guys take part in training kids for the police sponsored "Juniors Officers" program. They conduct the exercises at the Leonhardt Lagoon which is behind the Museum of Nature & Science and in front of the Cotton Bowl.




All right Junior Officers, I've only got one more episode of this show to watch so we'll see if our heroes managed to visit any other famous Dallas locations.

Golden Anniversary

Last year's 60th Anniversary and fiery destruction of Big Tex along with this year's return of Big Tex has overshadowed another State Fair milestone.  The Zable family's beloved Belgian Waffle stand is celebrating its 50th anniversary:


To celebrate, they are giving out commemorative coins with your purchase (or at least they were the day I went):


And when you stop by and you'd like to try a little something different from the normal Belgian Waffle, I recommend the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Waffle Balls:


They got a very positive review from this critic:
