West Abram St, Arlington

Take some time out of your busy day to visit West Abrams St. You can spend all day long at the Upstairs Gallery if you enjoy art. If you are interested in historical location, then go for a visit to The Historic Fielder House, which is home of the Arlington Historical Society. The street itself needs repairs and maybe a few more crosswalks for pedestrians but it is still a fun place to visit.

West Abram Street is part of the original Arlington city grid. On the far west end as it begins at the Fielder Street overpass, there are still large homes with spacious lawns, a block or two remnant of a upscale neighborhood of bygone days. This quickly turns to fraternity and soroity houses as you approached Cooper Street which marks the northern boundary of the University of Texas at Arlington campus. It crosses Cooper St and begins the small downtown area of Arlington, municipal buildings, library, utilities, etc, and as Abram St crosses Collins St it becomes a street of few major businesses, many mom and pop shops and eating establishments and as it approaches its end at Highway 360, the General Motors Truck Plant,a major manufacturer of cars and trucks.
