How Oak Lawn became a literal crossroads for the LGBTQ+ community in Dallas. Also, the Mimir Chamber Music Festival.

from NTX Now · host KERA News

This pride month we wanted to learn more about the history of the Oak Lawn neighborhood in Dallas. Before it became a literal crossroads for the community, gay bars were scattered around the city, in various neighborhoods and often not very visible. So, how did the intersection of Cedar Springs Road and Oak Lawn Avenue become a central gathering place for Dallas gays? A festival in Fort Worth has been a summer staple for classical music fans for nearly 30 years. WRR’s Amy Bishop previews this year’s Mimir Chamber Music Festival.
