churches from the late nineties up until 2008. Most of this new development is located on the I-20 and Weatland corridors and includes some new major big-box retailers. This activity is countered somewhat by the slowdown and closing of some retail on the Camp Wisdom rd corridor which lost some of its big box retail including 2 anchors at the Southwest Center Mall.
This area is also home to many of Dallas' Black mega-churches. Every Sunday African Americans come from miles away to worship here in the Red Bird area.
