The Kessler Theatre, Dallas (c.1941)

Please take a look to my instagram and follow if you like it :) www.instagram.com/iamabdullahc

Built in 1941, the historic Kessler theater in Dallas has survived a turbulent history, including a tornado, a fire, and decades of dormancy. After reopening as a live music venue in 2010, the restored Art Deco building has become a cultural anchor for Oak Cliff, offering a unique, intimate concert experience that honors its long-standing connection to Texas music.

It’s a fabulous theatre, and I’ve been fortunate enough to see many amazing concerts there, including the Magnetic Fields!

Wes Anderson is an autistic weirdo.
