Where's it stop in Dallas? Bishop arts and market cityLocation:
Doubletree Love Field
3300 W Mockingbird Lane
Dallas, TX 75235

Nevermind at the airport!

I really wouldn't mind seeing a shift of the edgier galleries to Deep Ellum and Expo/Fair Park with Design District trending toward the higher end galleries.... the flow from Design District thru Victory Park to the Arts District is a fantastic corridor of citified experience catering to the art wor...

For those big days at Fair Park, doesn't DART run passenger trains on the service track thru South Dallas for additional capacity? Hopefully, those tracks through South Dallas/Cedars will expand for regular service, opening up a new part of town for the pedestrian environment. In regard to the Silve...

ZaZa is going to have to expand or get left behind.

^Clearly we need more trains!

I think this line will eventually exceed expectations. The North Dallas neighborhoods are happily vapid, rebuke change of any sort and will one day undergo a gentrification of the mindset while the build environment changes just a little. The trains will be full even after the line is double tracked...

That's what you sounded like to your grandparents' generation when you were a smart 20-something!

Somethings never change, and this is one of them! Throughout the ages, it's repeated.

I wish they would revive the exterior green tile. That was a splash of color like no other. They were or maybe still are supposed to make some kind of convention center connection to the park. At least I heard that once while touring the convention space. The tile would be so nice! With good park i...

Is it too soon to propose a plan that would close Elm, Main and Commerce to most vehicular traffic in the evenings and get a French Quarter situation happening? Strategic parking, service vehicle access and improved pedestrian infrastructure could make the party atmosphere something that draws peopl...

^Showing the connection to the Arts District is great, but... I'd like to think the new park will redefine the hotel's convention space, but I'm not holding my breath. It wasn't so long ago this Sheraton have a big redo, right? How about a new sidewalk-relevant entrance to the hotel? More than any a...

I use to like pretending it was my house...

The three downtown master plans pitched to Amazon should each start picking up customers.... Victory Park, Reunion and Smart all have (at least) midsized office buildings shovel ready for the next relocation announcement. Downtown Dallas might actually lead a multi-generational Sunbelt Central Busin...

Probably right about that Cassandra

I'm trying to compare apples to oranges.... so, if starting at the turn of the century, almost a generation ago, and compare Greater Uptown (Woodall Rodgers-Katy Trail-I35-Knox) to the Plano/Frisco area anchored by Legacy/Hall Office Parks including the developing $5 Billion Mile.... what does the t...

I finally looked up that quote!!! Awesome

The number one thing lacking has been a gas station, but the new 7-Eleven is fixing that. Fifteenish years ago, downtown Dallas was struggling to come out of hibernation. Every fresh coat of paint was a big deal because it was sign of progress! One small deal that got a touch of press was the openi...

Dallas has the most perfect, ideally situated huge stretch of under used acreage just waiting for municipal and business leaders to wake up and prep for the next variation of corporate campus development - the light industrial warehouse Regal Row, Irving Blvd, Chancellor Row etc Stemmons & Carpe...

Doesn't seem to be enough people and/or business travel from all of Oklahoma let alone OKC to get the for-profit HSR trains looking that way. Connecting San Antonio and Austin to Dallas, for sure.

I still think this place will a successful run simply because it is not like the rest of the neighborhood. Deep Ellum has been made great again (haha), and the tight collection of party bars is a big part of the appeal, but not all those types of bars should be designated for Deep Ellum.

There was a 'live' shot from the park during the Cowboys game last night.

I'm not sure what I think about the discontinuous frontage roads

The VRBO I rented in Chicago recently was owned by Sonder....

Also, DART isn't ever happy with focusing on Dallas. What is so wrong with worrying more about commuters than inner city travel? By neglecting the inner city mobility, the transit agencies (TXDoT being the biggest perpetrator) fail to serve both populations, commuters and city dwellers. Overlooking...

At one point, Crow/Billingsley was going to give this land for the Museum of Nature and Science.

^not now, I agree for sure, but as the city grows and Fair Park is managed as a year round entertainment park, the neighborhoods will finally evolve and support novelty destinations like an illusion museum, believe it or not, wax museum and other tourist stuff. I think West end will be more resident...

why does the most valuable team have the most mediocre coach?

This belongs just outside fair park. Ripley's, too.

There's barely interest enough for one old school "downtown" in any Sunbelt population center; the corporate campus cornerstone of supreme suburban development starting in the 80s turned into Mixed Use New Urbanism --- an ironic term many people want to use when measuring success or failur...

Pics are really nice! I would really really like to see a handful of skyscrapers seed the Medical District, just ...

^Totally.

When the CBD had 250 residents and the city started working to rebuild the downtown, 10,000 residents was the threshold of a sustainable marketplace. Now we should be looking at 25,000 as the threshold of a thriving marketplace and 50,000 CBD residents is a marketplace that starts trends.

^35, whatever, I want Texas Tallest.

The variety of things to do in North Texas continues to grow. The place is really maturing.

North Texas customers do not benefit from the fortress hub. After Love Field was granted full domestic access, prices dropped significantly at DFW; now that things have settled down, and Love Field has reached capacity+, DFW flights have become more expensive. Legacy Carrier + Fortress Hub = higher ...

The DD has an oppertunity like few other to create an awesome little network of pedestrian alley ways that link various business/resturaunts/lofts etc., if they repurpose their network of former rail right of ways. There are tons of them, and they all conveniently link to existing or prosed trails,...

Sometimes I've thought better street and pedestrian flow with Victory Park would really enhance the Design District, and then I've thought better connectivity would wash-out the Design District.

To really grow the international business and increase domestic competition, find a way to build a SkyTeam hub. If North Texas will be bigger than Chicago before the end of the decade, the big airport needs to operate as a dual hub.

It's depressing these routes have such low usage; it's uplifting these routes exist. It's up to the people to make sure land usage directives generate increased usage. There is only the lack of compelling, thoughtful neighborhood shaping to create pedestrian oriented 'front yard' infrastructure alon...

so, like, there's not another one near this tall in the works right now?

Gotta get the cotton bowl fixed up first

I think it's safe to say the Central Business District has been saved and is on track as a concentrated, thriving combination of residential, commercial, retail and office locations. With retail and residential taking a strong place in the CBD now, it only makes sense for real estate along the trans...

Did that sign go to Marfa? I have a vague memory of coming across something about that sign, and that it was somewhere on display or whatever, but that's about all I can remember. Marfa doesn't seem right though, and I might be confusing the still existing dancing frogs with the big Clearview sign....

... nevertheless, turning this park campus into a year-round destination begins with the empty buildings and finishes with appropriate renovation to the Cotton Bowl. Concerts and Fútbol and College Football are still my pick for the Cotton Bowl. Start with Liga MX exhibition games for Cinco de Mayo...

Hopefully the tenant search for the three biggest empty Fair Park venues (the Women's Building, Science Place 1 (which has the IMAX theater) and the Museum of Natural History) will not take too long; hopefully the process will be selecting the best option from many proposals rather than three dangli...

The future tech scene in North Texas really will be a reflection of what's available at regional universities. DFW will continue to employ great numbers of processors, coders and end users tallying the region a top five rank based of volume of tech workers and available of tech jobs; could even tall...
