Without a doubt the corporate/private jet hangers terminals etc. will grow at TKI, but keep in mind Addison is just down the road as well. Like I said before the only real possibility I see for commercial is Allegiant. They love these small out of the way airports just outside major cities. Think Ro...

I can't believe they are putting another 7/11 next to the CVS. What a big swing and a miss.

MC_ScattCat

Some good news finally! Looking more and more like this will be a reality.

MC_ScattCat

There have been a lot of light industrial business leaving this area as well. When I walk my dog by Manhattan brewery it's always packed. I know there's a new bar on Ft Worth Ave. just after the commerce split coming as well. The Chicken Scratch property could be a hot property as well once COVID cl...

I see something like Allegiant going there. With all the growth in Collin County, especially families, destinations to places like FL or others that Allegiant serves would be ideal.

MC_ScattCat

I would say on international routes for sure. Some routes with competition between other airlines or SWA then maybe less so. I have found more often than not SWA and AAL are the same prices on routes from Dallas to most destinations. I do mileage runs (well used to) and often I start my trip from IA...

[/quote]Sad to see you are advocating against the working class multi-generational families who live there now and are cheering for gentrification.[/quote] As someone who lives in these neighborhoods that train left the station. I've seen 5 light industrial businesses or used car dealers on or just ...

The west approach will be the first side built. It will displace hundreds of low income families with higher property taxes. The west approach will be built largely with public federal dollars at direction of private entities to enhance private nearby properties. Easy to understand. It's a real est...

MC_ScattCat

There isn't anyone living there now? It's all light industrial or the jail. Only thing not for sale (that I know of) in this area is the jail and oak cliff glass. Most of the area that's not residential along Beckley or between 30 and Singleton is for sale already as well. I don't know about all the...

Man this park needs to happen. Both sides are of the park would explode with development once this is started.

MC_ScattCat

I've noticed over here in in North Oak Cliff I hear cars doing doughnuts and racing since this pandemic started. Usually around 11pm it starts. It's super loud an annoying even from a distance. It's becoming a problem here in Dallas.

MC_ScattCat

The 1050 is above sea level. The 1050 takes into account the location's height above sea level. Very very basic reason is airplanes use sea level as a fixed point for heights. My guess is this permit is speculative.

MC_ScattCat

I haven't seen anything either. Honestly I hear people doing doughnuts in there cars more than anything lately. It's been going on more with traffic being light.

MC_ScattCat

It's only going to get worse if if these "protests" rioting and looting get worse. These central cities will die and there will be no new construction. Progressive socialism destroys everything it touches and I hope Dallas is wise enough to nip it in the bud. Calm down and put the pitch f...

This old gas station and the lot behind it is owned by Mark Cuban. His real estate lawyer told me he bought it years ago when the Cowboys were looking at a new stadium downtown. Based on my conversations he is sitting on it till the parole office behind this station is moved.

MC_ScattCat

And just like that El Fenix in North Oak Cliff is no more. I wonder how long till the new project will start?

MC_ScattCat

Dumpsters and crews working on gutting El Finex on Beckley & Colorado yesterday. Looks like demo is about to start.

MC_ScattCat

Id love to extend it south to Jefferson, and in the CBD somehow connect to the M Trolly

MC_ScattCat

Dallas City hall is ugly. I loathe any building build with concrete as an design feature. Burnett Tower in Ft. Worth is the same kind of ugly. They all look like Soviet buildings.

MC_ScattCat

This whole are on the SW side of the CBD has the land and connections to really grow. If I were in sim city mode I'd make this area full of mid-rises with a tower or two. Make the streets very pedestrian/bike friendly. It's got good connections to intercity rail/Amtrak/ highways/ trails/ TRE/ and HS...

MC_ScattCat

Hope it doesn't end up like Cityplace Tower. All alone with no building friends

MC_ScattCat

so basically this is never being built then haha

There was a transit oriented webcast by city on Monday. Sounds like they are working to increase walkablity in streets around Downtown & surrounding neighborhoods. They would like to make a few other stations into a Mockingbird Station development. Also finalizing plans at how to get the ugly su...

"like the ones who were arrested for attempting to rob Jack & Ginger's over the weekend."

They were probably Liverpool FC fans since it's a Manchester United bar.

MC_ScattCat

Jack & Ginger's opened today and I checked it out and had dinner there. I enjoyed the spot, the food was just alright, beer selection was good and it seemed like they had an extensive whiskey list as well. 77 Degrees was also open as well, but there weren't that many people there (then again, i...

What are the height restrictions at this site?

MC_ScattCat

I'd love to see more retail around Union Station. Make Union a real hub. Something like St. Louis did. Make it DART, Greyhound, HSR, Streetcar all connected. Have more mid rises and maybe make it a nice little neighborhood. connect N. Oak Cliff to Cedars and downtown.

MC_ScattCat

I wish SW downtown had more development with Hunt. I do feel like it's got great potential. However, With new towers instead of the current apartments I think we can really fill a big hole in the skyline. I hope we can get 500' plus in height at least. Still waiting on Hillwood....

MC_ScattCat

Clairvista is moving locations. From their current building to the retail location in the bottom of the new Magnolia property. Sign went in Friday and they’re looking to open next month at the new location.

MC_ScattCat

I’d rather buy a house.

MC_ScattCat

The owner of Jack & Gingers/ 77 degrees had some code compliance "upgrades" to be made. They had a soft opening of Jack & Gingers, but nothing official. I don't remember exactly what the code issues were though. I will say that if the crowds at both places were anything to go by th...

That’s the second or third building to burn down on that block in the last few years.

MC_ScattCat

Anyone know why it was placed so high up in the air?

MC_ScattCat

I was apart of the engineering side of things. Some of the routes and station locations were made before I ever came on. Everything DART told us was they always wanted a two track line from DFW to at a minimum Wylie. They also said Plano and Richardson were putting pressure on them to put some of th...

I wonder how the Silver route will overlap with the Red/Orange line. There isn't much room between Cityline/Bush and 12th Street for 2 more parallel tracks, but on the other hand, the non-electric Silver trains can't run on the electrified Red/Orange line. I have seen recent work on the east-side e...

My bet is Matthews Southwest will also soon own the land currently proposed for that big retail and residential development between Woodall Rogers and Commerce around the jails and they will sit on that property too. I live in North Oak Cliff and everytime I cross the Trinity (almost daily) I daydr...

As a person of faith myself I can understand not agreeing with everything the church's leadership is saying. I live in N. Oak Cliff and commute to Munger Place Church, so the idea people drive outside their "area" is normal to me. My biggest issues aside from politics with FBD, and especia...

MC_ScattCat

I think anything around downtown is hot right now. I do hope this won't stop potential growth around Union Station area.

MC_ScattCat

Maybe they are waiting till the HSR gets approved?

MC_ScattCat

I'd love to see some sort of start on the TX HSR project. Any & all things inside the downtown core is good.

MC_ScattCat

I hate to say it but sonic ice is a thing. I only will have ice in my drink if it is "sonic/QT" style ice. It sounds dumb I realize, but I don't care for ice in my drink. However, this type of ice has somehow been ok with me. Just about everyone I know prefers this type of ice as well.

MC_ScattCat

When people say just make it a blvd. all I can think of is drunk people being hit at night or cars flying 30 mph too fast down the road. Tunnel 345. Toll it even and give people the option to use city streets for free or toll highway tunnel, but just don't make a boulevard.

MC_ScattCat

Anyone have any idea when they will start work on the the "3 hole punch" railroad underpass between Beckley and Sylvan? I thought it was supposed to start this fall? With all the new town homes/apartments being built along W Main / Commerce/ Singleton the roads are getting annoyingly busy ...

MC_ScattCat

Not sure what this says about anything but I live in North Oak Cliff. I can drive to Downtown Ft. Worth during Morning rush hour in 35 to 40 mins. It takes my wife almost the same amount of time to get from our place to Thanksgiving Tower most days. As I said before I'm in the buried I-345 crowd. I ...

MC_ScattCat

I'm in the let's make it a Tunnel crowd.

MC_ScattCat

I wish they would have put white lights on the trees like Alamo did. Looks nice and inviting. They need to fix Davis though. It's dark and the street is like driving in the Baja. I'm also wondering how long the owner of that old dingy apartment complex on Bishop and 10th will hold out?

MC_ScattCat

Went to Jack & Ginger's last week (soft opening). Some very small kinks to work out but the place is nice! Feels for a lack of a better word cozy. Kind of the opposite from the place above. Lots of selection on drinks and food is good! Ghost Pepper dip was on the giant pretzel was good! Service ...

MC_ScattCat

Yes Sprouts is a good everyday store. I think they will build it eventually, but I (and many others) feel like it's something we need now. We also need another Bolsa Mercado type restaurant. I miss that place!

MC_ScattCat

As someone who lives in this neighborhood, and walks as much as we can to Bishop Arts, I don't know 1 person asking for this Royal Blue. We need a Sprouts or Central Market grocery store. The Tom Thumb on Hampton is not good. I can't understand why the Sprouts at El Fenix or the CM on Beckley/Davis ...
