The History of Dallas’ Waterfall Billboard

Since 1962, the giant sign has been a can't-miss fixture on I-35 for urban commuters

Dallas tends not to conjure up images of water cascading down craggy stone cliffs.

However, locals and visitors alike can behold the city’s own version of a majestic waterfall above Interstate 35, just off Harry Hines Boulevard in front of the Alexan apartment complex.

There, on a giant billboard currently advertising Miller Lite, with a shoutout to the Dallas Cowboys, water rushes down a carefully crafted rock mountainside, beckoning commuters and road-trippers to Big D.

Like many native North Texans, the billboard holds a special place in my heart. I passed it as a child on the way from Fort Worth to my grandmother’s house in East Dallas.

Once, on our yearly winter sojourn to Neiman Marcus to dine in the Zodiac Room, my mother and I saw the waterfall frozen, icicles dangling as if jaunty Christmas décor to celebrate the Coors brand. Starting Sept. 27, many of the over 2 million attendees of the State Fair of Texas will have their chance to see it in all its historic glory. The billboard debuted in 1962, its cascading water, pumped from a mechanism below the advertisement, reflected the tagline of San Antonio’s Pearl lager it advertised: “From the Country of 1,000 Springs.” Designed by the international company Tracy-Locke in its original form, it held the honor of being the biggest beer ad in the world at 45 feet high with a length of approximately 150 feet. Beyond beer, the billboard has shilled for, among other brands, Salem cigarettes in 1968, boasting that Salem “refreshes naturally.” In 1987, the billboard made an “Absolut splash” by advertising Absolut Vodka.

COURTESY CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR The original Pearl Brewing Co. billboard Now, Clear Channel Outdoor owns the billboard, one of many they own in Dallas-Fort Worth. According to Jason King, senior VP of corporate communications and marketing, Clear Channel’s research suggests “95% of Dallas residents drive or carpool each week, and 30% spent over 20 minutes commuting one way. Overall, locals have seen time in traffic go up 28% since 2021.” That’s a lot of eyeballs on Dallas’ oddest waterfall. Originally, the billboard’s rocky landscape was constructed of hay bales covered in concrete, though it was re-vamped by Rock-Scapes in 2008. Each day, water cascades 45 feet down into a 3-foot-deep pool that pumps the water back up to the top of the waterfall. The billboard cycles through 1.5 million gallons of water daily. Long-time residents may recall that the billboard used to be located beside the restaurant Baby Does’ Matchless Mine, a popular spot for pre-prom dinners in the ’70s and ’80s, where one could dine on Coors beer soup (recreated recipes can be found here and here)—a fitting meal given that the billboard is now leased by the Coors Brewing Company.

SUBSCRIBE Rumor has it that the billboard inspired thrill-seekers to scale it and attempt skinny dipping in its cool waters and that college football fans have dyed the water either orange or red (depending on one’s affiliation) for Texas/OU weekend played annually at the Cotton Bowl. Other jokesters settled simply for pouring laundry detergent over the billboard’s edge, creating flumes of bubbles. According to a Dallas Morning News article, “Gerald Bosher, who said he had maintained the sign for 28 years, told The News in 1997 that an unnamed doctor’s $15,000 Cartier watch fell into the faux waterfall one night, so Bosher hired a wetsuit diver to find it.” (It was found and returned to the gentleman’s office.) Such hijinks prompted the billboard’s owner to erect fencing around the advertisement to deter illicit bathing and lost watches.

Such is the billboard’s fame that the city of Dallas designated it an “extraordinarily significant sign” in 2008. Its “significance” is further solidified by the fact the billboard claims its own Wikipedia and Reddit fan pages, the latter of which has a local claiming that they used to call it “Beer Mountain” and another local remembering that as a child he thought the waterfall was made of actual beer. Even America’s Team, one of the city’s biggest draws, is a fan: “We appreciate Molson Coors showcasing its partners and featuring the Cowboys alongside its iconic Miller Lite brand on a billboard leading into one of the most beloved events in the state of Texas,” said Chad Estis, the team’s executive vice president of business operations, via email.

3303 Harry Hines Blvd., Dallas

The ad is visible from Interstate 35 East while driving toward downtown Dallas.

Estis added that the billboard is a “great way to welcome people” arriving for the state fair. But for me it will always be the landmark I looked forward to when I got to visit the big city when the city wasn’t so big.

3, 7, 9, and 10 for the writing ask game?

Thank you! Under the cut for space as usual :)

A writer's ask meme has appeared!

3. What is something you learned/researched while writing a fic?

I've learned so much about the history of New York City for writing HIYH. It's tough because I've never lived in New York, I've never even been to New York, but now with writing this fic I have to understand BOTH how modern NYC AND historical NYC work, because I chose to make my main character a ghost from a hundred years ago XD

I know it doesn't really matter, but I'm super attentive to the timeline and the details of things, what would be new to Jimmy and what he'd understand, so it's been a lot of research to get those details right.

Oh, and "bosher" is Victorian-era slang for a person that talks nonsense. It's in Chapter 4 :)

7. How do you feel after finishing a fic?

Honestly... I'm kinda just eager for the next one. I love the feeling of accomplishment that comes from finishing a fic, and I'm always eager to see how my readers might react to it (though that's true of any new chapter), but at the same time I'm already eager to dive into the next world. Writing... honestly keeps me alive sometimes, so I can never let myself run out of stories to tell.

9. Most challenging thing to write?

Hm... I don't write smut, but spicy/romantic scenes are tough to write anyway. I love them, and I think the ones I've written are pretty good, but it's hard to tell what comes across as romantic when I'm in the middle of writing them, and what just sounds cheesy or cringey (and one of my writing icks is having to stumble through a particularly cringey romance/spicy scene, so I really don't want to be that writer)

10. What is something you really want to write but haven't written yet?

Vivienne's fucking fic dude fr. I have it all outlined, I posted Vivienne's character bio a while ago, I've been talking about it and including her in my character-ask lineup, but I just don't have the time to start writing its fic out yet. Maybe I'll try to get that started after I finish Catch and Release, since that one's close to done, but I feel like I just keep accumulating writing projects no matter what I do (*cough cough now Spider and his fic idea exist too...*)

my 6th grade yearbook was sitting in my closet and it's been. tormenting me. knowing it's just sitting there, potentially having some answers for me, so i broke down and opened it up. i didn't walk away with any answers as to who exactly hurt me, but looking at the faces of the teacher and principal, both women, who just...didn't care that a little girl was nearly raped in the bathrooms....fucking furious

how do you be so full of hatred that you just don't care about a little girl nearly getting raped??? how do you let yourself believe his fucking obvious lie of "she lured me into the bathroom" like??? this tiny, meek, physically underdeveloped child??? how do you believe the boy who was a KNOWN FUCKING PROBLEM??? how do you believe the boy who had been to juvie MULTIPLE TIMES???? he was 15!!! i was 13!!!! he was supposed to be a freshmen in high school, nearing his sophomore year, i was a tiny child-- fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you. fuck you for not seeing how fucking OBVIOUS it was that he stalked ME to the bathroom!! fuck you for ignoring how he would CONSTANTLY try to shove his hands in my pants if he was sitting behind me!!! who knows what fucking else he did to me that i can't remember because of the fucking blackout that is my memory of that time!!!

fuck you for then sending him back to juvie the next fucking school year because he stole from the fucking principal. i'm sOOO glad to know that trying to rape a girl gets you at most put to the back of the classroom but not even out of my classes, but stealing from the principal gets you sent away. fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck you Dr Debbie Steen fuck you Lisa Boshers fuck you nameless boy who I can't fucking remember you're so fucking lucky I can't remember you I'd have you put 6 feet under in no fucking time if i did. fuck everyone in that fucking school. fuck the school board who looked at my mother like she was fucking filth for even daring to ask they do anything. fuck all of them they're all so fuckign lucky both my grandmothers were dead because they would have ripped that whole fucking school apart for letting any of that happen to me

I really like the simplicity of Rushi's Design, and because of his explicit Bosher Inspiration, I'm finally able to present something that I've been debating about sharing for a while now!

This was my first attempt at doing without Voice Acting without any spoken dialogue, and as described in the name of the file, I originally made it to ACT as a more Yoshi-Like Voice Test for creepa-b0t-inc's Bosher (where I was only reminded of the pre-existing 'SFX' Audio after this was recorded)!

But as it's not needed for Bosher, I hope that it's something that could potentially work for Rushi, and can instead be seen as a good showcase of appreciation if it doesn't.

IT'S A BIRD, IT'S PLANE, NOT IT'S... RUSHI???.

Hell yeah, IT'S RUSHI'S TIME.

Anyway, here is Rushi, my first (and only) Yoshi Theory secret boss.

(He is inspired by Bosher by my friend @creepa-b0t-inc ).

He used to be an actor and the protagonist to his hit Game "Rushi's Land"

He was loved, respected and blessed.

He respected his best friend (Asriel).

One day, while they where playing, a third-party took the controller from Asriel and made Rushi falls to get an extra jump.

In the hole, Rushi waited for what it seems to him to be years.

One day, while he still stuck in the hole, he been visited by Someone.

They told him about everything, about his world, about the one who made him fall

Filled with anger and hatred (and insanity) Rushi waited till one day, he got his revenge.

Eventually, a lightner will open a fountain in their house.

And With that, Rushi almost got his revenge.

OK, outside of the lore, here is some fun fact.

He can change his freaking eyes, like to Jevil's and Spamton's (reference to IMG_FRIEND).

I tried to make him very similar to yoshi but with some dinosaur-ish qualities.

Here are some something about him I made, I hope you like them, I'll gonna draw more about him later
