| Pee Wee's Big Adventure, outdoor screening, Dallas Film Fest. |
So a friend contacted me last week and said, Hey, I got some
colleagues visiting, where should I take them? So that gave me the idea to
start Jerry’s Things-to-Do in Dallas Guide.
Dallas Film Festival
Luckily, for visitors and residents alike, the Dallas Film
Festival, which started Thursday, April 9, continues this weekend. There are activities
