Windows Down: A Vintage Lover’s Guide to DFW

There’s something special about places that make you slow down.

Old neighborhoods where the houses have good bones. Downtown squares that still feel like the heart of a town. Restaurants that haven’t chased trends because they don’t need to. Those are the places that made me fall in love with DFW—and they’re the reason I created Windows Down: A Vintage Lover’s Guide to DFW.

When we moved to North Texas, I started exploring the area the best way I know how: windows down, no rush, and always taking the long way home. Over time, I realized how many incredible, timeless spots exist here—if you know where to look. This guide is a curated collection of those places.

Windows Down: A Vintage Lover’s Guide to DFW is a free, 20-page resource filled with:

• Historic neighborhoods and architecture worth cruising for

• Old-school eats and local favorites with real character

• Tiki bars and retro-inspired spots

• Towns that still feel like home, including a special shout-out to South DFW

• Places that make exploring feel intentional, not rushed

This isn’t a checklist or a “top 10” list. It’s meant to be revisited—something you keep handy when planning a weekend, craving nostalgia, or just wanting to see DFW a little differently.

If you love vintage style, historic homes, classic architecture, and places with a story, this guide was made for you.
