Autumn in Oak Cliff is breathtaking. I adore those few beautiful days when the leaves suddenly burst into a rainbow of reds and oranges. Branches are laden with fiery red color that trembles in the breeze. A sudden gust of chilly wind sends a multitude of leaves fluttering down to earth in a flurry of orange. As it turns out, I'm not the only one who cherishes these brief days before the icy winter kicks in.
"This is the season when most of the people who live in Oak Cliff aren't worrying too much about things. Autumn touches the woods of Kessler and Colorado and little streets like Appian Way especially gently. It'll be enough to get in the car and just ride with the falling leaves and the first chill of the winter and the sharp, sweet scent of the season." -The Dallas Morning News, 1949
