Re: Uptown Dallas: Business Openings and Closings
None of those bars on that strip should aim for flashy/fancy/trendy. Just not the right spot in Uptown. There's a reason The Loon and Quarter Bar have outlasted the others.

Re: Oak Lawn
I mean, it's January. I would think it's temporary covering for the patio so they can fill more tables. Close it in and heat it and you can use those tables where you would otherwise not be able to when it's cold outside and open air. I bet once it warms up they remove it.

It could very likely be a phased open. There's no way the lower floors aren't close to being completely outfitted and finished. They will release a few floors every month or two probably. Not that unusual, you even see Texas Doughnut complexes do it.
