While in Dallas this past week we visited the AT & T Discovery District which is a great place to start your sightseeing of downtown Dallas.  The most prominent structure is the multi-story digital display seen below.  This thing is HUGE with a capital "H".  Can't miss this one.  The picture changes every few seconds presenting another advertisement.  You can also notice in the foreground area a "green patch" of grass.  To the left of the patch is a small stream of water flowing.  The overall layout is given in the second picture.

Obviously, they already have their tree up and decorated. 

If we go inside, we see a collage filled with digital pictures of TV and movie scenes involving Clint Eastwood.  These change quickly and rotate through a sequence.  Please note the man and child in the picture.  The child is four (4) years old.  From this you can see the relative size of the digital wall.

In one area of the building, there is a museum that houses a rotating display.  This display, as you can see, details some of the work that Clint Eastwood has done over his acting and directing career.  I can definitely recommend this one to you. 

The picture below shows Eastwood checking camera placement for the movie "The Unforgiven".  Eastwood starred and directed this award-winning picture.  Unforgiven is a 1992 American revisionist Western film produced and directed by Mr. Eastwood and written by David Webb Peoples. The film portrays William Munny, an aging outlaw and killer who takes on one more job, years after he had turned to farming.

Unforgiven grossed over $159 million on a budget of $14.4 million and received widespread critical acclaim, with praise for the acting (particularly from Eastwood and Hackman), directing, editing, themes and cinematography. The film won four Academy Awards: Best Picture and Best Director for Clint Eastwood, Best Supporting Actor for Gene Hackman, and Best Film Editing for editor Joel Cox. Eastwood was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance, but he lost to Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman. The film was the third Western to win Best Picture, following Cimarron (1931) and Dances with Wolves (1990). Eastwood dedicated the film to directors and mentors Sergio Leone and Don Siegel.

In 2004, Unforgiven was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[4] The film was remade into the 2013 film also titled Unforgiven, starring Ken Watanabe and changing the setting to the early Meiji era.

Eastwood had long asserted that the film would be his last Western, concerned he would simply be rehashing previous plotlines or imitating someone else's work.

One of my favorite Eastwood movies is "Grant Torino".  The car used in that movie is shown below.  The car in the movie is the Gran Torino Sport from 1972, one of the 92,033 built for that year. Coke-bottle styling, and in dark-metallic green, this was the top-of-the-line model with Ford's "hot motor", also known as the 5.7-liter Cobra-Jet V8 with a four-barrel carburetor.

Beautiful car.

I hope, if you get the opportunity, you visit this area of downtown Dallas.  One mention, the food court inside is absolutely wonderful.  Many many selections with great variety and several Dallas favorites.  My family ate a late breakfast there and the sections were absolute fabulous.  It is clean as a pin with staff ready to help with clean up as soon as you are finished.  Actually, while you are eating you are invited to give us any unused plates still remained.  I really thing you should check this out when you are in Dallas.
