From the stellar view above DFW Airport which u/radioref shared a video of yesterday.
The 1983 photo comes from the UTA Library's Squire Haskins Photography, Inc. Collection / I.D. 10018429.

I once heard it described as
“Las Colinas, the city of the future of the past” I think it is fitting

I work in one of the las colinas buildings I can see in 1983. It was brand new. That’s wild

Pretty cool I can see the last apartment I lived in and that it wasn’t there in 83

I can see my old office.
In both pics.
Sheesh, that's an old building...

Same.
In fact can see one office in both pics, and another old office in the latter.

What a bizarre area.

Beautiful! When driving on some of the highway interchange ramps in that area, you can see both skylines and it’s really cool imo.

I catch myself staring sometimes and then panic grip the wheel as I visualize myself driving off the edge of the 300 foot ramp

I feel called out haha. 💯

I think the Airport is Love Field. In the 1986 pic you can see Texas Stadium in the lower right corner and the Airport in the top left. So that has to be Love Field
RobbieAnalog@reddit
Yes but op said pic is taken from DFW, not that it is a pic of DFW
