Mockingbird Station® Shopping Center — Attraction in Dallas

Right now DART is not on my top ten favorite places, things to do, places to recommend. However if you are a train jumper in order to commute to work like I am, then the safest place right now is to transfer is at Mockingbird/SMU though there is some construction work being done. Downtown has become a terrible representation for Dallas's handle with the homeless. Providing them a safe camp would be ideal instead of shipping them back down south from up north every weekend. It's just not fair to anyone but that's another story in itself.

But if you are going to swap trains or maybe even going to grab a bite to eat or see a movie at the Angelica, Mockingbird Station offers it all plus it's just a stones throw of a walk to Campisi's from the station.

You will scare off more customers with this type...

But the rest of the station is very deep in the ground, serviced by stairs, escalator and an elevator. There are automated ticket vending machines, but no turnstiles.

The station is on the Red, Orange and Blue lines, with Cityplace/Uptown the next station towards downtown and Lovers Lane the next station outbound (on the Red and Orange) or White Rock (on the Blue).
