"Downtown has so far to go - it seems to always be on the edge of greatness, or despair, depending on the day of the week." Exactly. You never know which downtown you're going to get. I was out there this past Sunday afternoon and it felt like a real city. Went running last night, and it ...

After all, many of their patrons are up to NoGood.

Hahaha. I actually like that... SoGood is SoCringe. I can't believe they want to go through with obnoxious, try-hard name.

What is so terribly wrong with the existing I-345 viaduct? TXDOT should refurbish it and use it for another 50 years as is, imho. It's over engineered imo and needlessly large. Why can't TxDOT at least try to make good designs? Go Look up how elegantly Urban overpasses are done elsewhere. And how t...

A feel-good story about a downtown restaurant. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/thanks-to-a-loving-grandson-and-a-viral-tiktok-video-a-dallas-restaurant-facing-hard-times-has-new-life/287-d1ce137b-698b-4e52-b613-012409b6efbf It is sad that it took something like this to actually get the down...

The quality of the homes is nice. Not gonna lie. At least they appear nice from the outside

Tivo_Kenevil

The lagoon is so extra. It's almost comical. Lol

Tivo_Kenevil

Tragic. What a great concept it is.

Tivo_Kenevil

Agreed. Something's not right about this and what's particularly concerning is that with Open Realty owning most of Henderson Ave, if this development isn't happening then one should assume practically nothing will be happening (from a development standpoint) along Henderson. Well the project is st...

I suppose that's what happened. But my only problem with that is that this particular development got approved late 2019. So, was the financing not in place? And it's been two years now almost..

This one was just approved.

They care about their jobs.. so I could see them going with tearing it down just to have something else to do and they can point to created jobs/ economic impact! look we did something! Fair is fair, I am not a traffic engineer, and I did just use an anecdote to present my case. :mrgreen: Morris an...

I'm a long term Dallasite :D , that while not being a traffic engineer, I am an engineer used to reading long technical reports that hide flaws in fluffy renderings and emotional pandering. Perhaps, your fluff reading abilities are good. But perhaps your road progrnasatcations are shite too. You're...

Were the deck park plans abandoned? I hadn't heard anything so I just assumed it was going to happen eventually. Well, this is better than it was before that's for sure. The Legacy developments are so inward facing that it will be difficult to glue them together without a deck park. I don't see why...

Tivo_Kenevil

Tacos, good luck. They'll have some very stiff competition!

Food aside, great design.

Tivo_Kenevil

Not exactly my definition of a plaza given that it's mostly grass. But nonetheless, it can serve as a nice pocket park for the neighborhood

I forget about that accident. Any word ??

Tivo_Kenevil

Must we allow all parking monoliths to not even try to cover up their buttholes?

Tivo_Kenevil

Great addition, totally agree. Make downtown a Brickell^^

Something Unreported is about to go down on greenbriar st. with direct access to the Trinity... More affordable 1M townhomes i presume..

Tivo_Kenevil

How affordable!

Tnexster wrote:I have never been in there, are those donuts any good?

Yes, highly recommend. The donuts are really loaded up with toppings. And they have lots of baked goods on sale other than donuts. They even sell popcorn!

Their hours of operation are good for a donut shop too. They close at 6!

I'm curious if they are tearing down the little church or building around it.

They tore down the church.

Tivo_Kenevil

Has anyone seen the new retail spaces over there on Davis by the Sherwin Williams?! Last i went over there they looked like stucco turds.

Tivo_Kenevil

I think the Tom Thumb has been a major plus. I go to that Tom thumb once a week. That's the biggest draw for me!

Pompous would be the names of some of these poorly made buildings with their cheap and terrible looking architecture. I Feel free to criticize the architecture and the build quality and the names (wishing the Chole had not a mis-print), but the names you gave implicated the renters, not the archite...

The project was always planned to be a generic apartment wrap. It just so happened that they were forced to incorporate some vestiges of the old building. So it's like 70% generic apartment wrap project now.

Per Twitter D2 Passed. Again. https://www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/2021/03/dart-d2-subway-dallas-city-council-resolution-vote/ So they split D2 into zone A and B? Does that mean its over?

Austin taking over, telling u guys. I know your comment was kind of tongue in cheek, but there is truth to that. It literally seems to be turning into San Francisco Bay Area 2.0 Yep.

I'm so tired of stucco..and idk what it is... But I've yet see decent stucco apartments in this city

We don't know how execute the style properly and the stucco quality looks cheap

Tivo_Kenevil

Yeah reducing the foot print is a good compromise. But TXDot only knows how to expand

Tivo_Kenevil

Nothing will be built lol

Tivo_Kenevil

So the JPI and Street light development would make up the 700+ Apartments listed in the description? That alone make it's better than anything previously proposed on this site.

The 508 Young project is a disgrace! what they plan to do to the front of building and turn into a drive through is ridiculous. The Rock of truth won't be what ppl first see when they approach the building..but rather a valet service. So sad. George Dahl would be livid. This city doesn't know how t...
