You couldn't pay me to live in Deep Ellum today. At least the gunshots in Oak Cliff are mainly celebratory or, at worst, gang rivals intimidating each other. Don't get me wrong, you need a thick skin to live in this area, but Oak Cliff has a combination of grit, nature, and history you can't find a...

Oak Cliff still battles with a perception problem. For some reason, ppl think this is the Oak Cliff of the 90s. It’s not! I grew up in South Oak Cliff, it was rough in some areas (just being honest) but it no where near like it was then. Not even close. It's not all perception. Oak Cliff on average...

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! Bishop Arts is already a very cool area but imagine what it's going to look like in a few years. It's a pretty unbelievable transformation. Agreed, that whole area is exploding. It’s cool to watch it transform. ————————————— Ella on 8th - 225 units https://quarterra.c...

Yeah property owners in the Jefferson Blvd area are looking to attract Bishop Arts type tenants aka not hispanic businesses that have existed there for the last few decades but hipster/boutique commercial retail/restaurant businesses. The owners are doing what we did in the 80's to try to get high ...

Rendering of the old Wonderland Pet store on Jefferson and Zang. I’m just now seeing what it’ll look like. I noticed a lot of the renovated storefronts are either white or grey. I guess that’s the color of choice nowadays?

I know this is random, but I guess this is sort of an update on the project.

What do y’all think about it? This video is from Dec 2022. I’d say 4:13-5:00 is a good view of it all. With a closer view of the newer portion at 9:13.

There's zero excitement from me when it comes to this project. At this point, I'd be surprised if anything gets built and if it does, it won't be anything noteworthy. Hopefully as time goes on, the other lots in the development are filled in to create some type of cohesion with Victory Park and Har...

There’s also a new multifamily project in the works on the corner of Bishop and Sunset Aves (seen it during CPC meeting online). New development is creeping closer to the Jefferson Blvd commercial area. It’s right behind that new apartment building on 10th and Bishop. Once the city did a complete s...

I feel like Exposition Park is a spillover area for Deep Ellum. The area (to me) always had potential because it is between Deep Ellum and Fair Park. I’m also a lover of historic buildings, so their preservation and reuse makes this even better.

So good to see positive things down there. The new U.S. 67 upgrade also makes it nicer. Would like to see I-35 from Belt Line to I-20 get an upgrade. It looks pretty rough.

Can you imagine if they had done this to Valley View? Driving by the old Valley View site with the pile of debris now is just stunning to see how urban America can decay so quickly.

SMH. I don’t know what to say. Dallas was built by banking execs that saw the growth of Dallas as good for business.
