Texas Musicians Museum opens in Irving

6. I know that route

I attended a lot of company schools when the training center was in Irving. One time when gasoline was short I made a mistake. It was Sunday night, dark but not stormy. I was driving a FULL sized Plymouth Fury and was low on gas. I took 12 and not Loop 12 and found myself in a deserted downtown Dallas. There was nobody because there was no gas. I was desperate-looking for a cop or anyone to point me the right way.

Then there is was, a street named Fort Worth. My hope is that it was the original route out of Dallas to Ft. Worth, and that I took it to the west. What a relief it was when I crossed the Trinity on a low bridge. I never knew existed.I could see the big bridge to my right and was able to find my motel and the training center with a few fumes to spare. Whew!
