If you grew up in Dallas, this one is going to stop you cold.
Baby Doe’s Matchless Mine. Sitting on the highest point in Dallas — right on Harry Hines behind that famous waterfall billboard — overlooking I-35 and downtown. You walked through an entrance built like a real mineshaft, past rusting mining equipment and narrow gauge rail cars, into a dimly lit dining room that felt like you’d descended into the earth.
It was unlike anything else in Texas.
From 1976 until it closed in 2005, generations of Dallas families celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, prom nights, and special occasions in that old mine on Goat Hill. Then it was demolished. And just like that — it was gone.
Some places you don’t realize you’ll miss until they’re already gone. 🤠🪨
