The Christianville Spirit: A Fun Sunday in Dallas

So, My Mom and I were on the computer trying to decide what to do on this past Sunday so, we tried looking up DART(which is the Light Rail System name in Dallas) and we checked to see what the hours for the TRE(A train that goes between Downtown Dallas to Fort Worth). So, we found out it doesn’t run on Sundays. Then, I looked at the DART website I saw something that caught my attention; it was an another rail line that runs in Dallas that I always wanted to go on; it is called the “M-Line Trolley” which runs up and down a historic street named McKinney Ave. so, we figured out how to get there and we headed out. So, we took DART’s Red Line from Downtown Plano and took it a station called Cityplace Station. After that, we up long escalators because Cityplace Station is deep underground and went up to meet to M-Line Trolley. The M-Line Trolley was really cool. The way the M-Line Trolley ran was on a single wire above the ground which was the way light rail was in the old days and our conductor was very insightful and funny. After that, we got back on the DART and headed toward Downtown Dallas to see the West End. When we got there we found out that the “West End Marketplace” which used to be a famous mall with chocolate makers that when they made chocolate it was a show to watch. Also, they used to have Laser Tag and a Movie Theater. After we walked by that, we ended the day by eating dinner at Sonny Bryans Barbeque; All in all, though it was a really fun-packed day.
Thanks for the reading The Christianville Spirit. Make a good mark on someone’s heart or mind and chances are they’ll NEVER Forget You.
