We went Friday evening to HERO and had a great time it was around 7:30. What impressed me was that there was nothing at the arena or any other event and yet Hero was busy and the other places were too with people walking around. I think this area is going to be very popular in the fall with nice we...

So true. So where will these people shop? Where is the opportunity to build some new retail? The Sprouts site and the DISD corner both seem feasible.

There's actually going to be less retail on Ross. They're destroying the Furniture store for Townhomes. Sigh..

Anyone know where the entrance to the new Holocaust Museum is located? I feel like I should know this by now, but I was looking at the blank wall along Pacific and realized that I have no idea where you go in from. Facing the Dart line/Current Holocaust museum building..but it's closed off by a con...

Nobody even plays Sims city anymore Hannibal. It's all about Cities Skylines..

This looks cheap. They look Like RGB lights for a gaming PC. I thought they would have at least put them plastic tubes to look like neon lights.

High-speed rail.

Still have to get downtown.

Really? 75,30, 35 DNT all take you downtown. I345 is nothing more than road that circumvents downtown.

Has anyone seen any information on the Total Wine development at Congress and Oak Lawn? They've begun digging at the site, and they are digging far enough down that it almost looks like an underground parking garage is being built. But last I heard there were no plans for that. So the OLC didn't wa...

If it's for tower, I'm okay with that. .. I hope there's retail.

Gingerman was alright to me. Blackfriars I do love tho.

Now, that's some high praise. Maybe Harwood should quote this in their marketing material.

"The Harwood District..Hey, it's better than nothing.."

I've always wished for skate park right there.

:oops: por I expect nothing but mediocrity from Harwood. A little harsh, eh? No look at their developments. They're always underwhelming. The designs are always promising. But the end product doesn't live up to the billing. And the entire district is not even walkable. They've been planning their di...

I hope the windows are replaced Several windows in the tower have already been replaced. They are so clearly different and newer than the old windows that I can't imagine they wouldn't replace them all. The windows at street level actually look really good when they're clean. I don't know if they w...

Everything west of Good Latimer, outside of the CBD, should be called NoGood. That way it will be the sister neighborhood of SoGood and also give homage to the people who frequent the establishments in the neighborhood. "Where you going?"..."I'm up to NoGood"

Looking at the regional level the dichotomy is even more obvious. Since DART's inception 93% of North Texas population growth has been outside of the DART service area. Both developers and the "common person" would appear to be actively avoiding mass transit. Your logic is flawed I could ...

There's tons of renderings showing how riverfront boulevard would look like without the jail.

This is turning into an epic conspiracy. Maybe it just burned down because it was old, had old wiring and 114 year old wood. Maybe a homeless guy set it on fire cuz they used to live in the ambassador... Has it been labeled as arson? ... I doubt jim lake had anything to do with it. I read on Reddit...
