Not to detail this thread, but I came across this on D Magazine.

Same- Henderson has so much potential, but this wasteland of acreage & bombed out nature of the streets make Henderson seem " backwards " for a growing metropolis.

This sucks. Numerous trees bulldozed for warehouse park. I can't believe any municipality would allow that. You don't need to clearcut every tree in sight. These projects are big concrete boxes no one needs to see. Clear the trees where the building footprint, roadways & other necessary uses are...

Cowboyeagle - you should shop Dallas Galleria as they rarely have any new stores or existing stores that move to new locations. That is one of the reasons why NorthPark is one of the best shopping centers in the US, is they are always bringing in cool unique stores that usually are exclusive to Nor...

Definitely yes on COS & Uniqlo. I don't know how many down & warm weather accoutrements would fly out of Moncler in this warm clime.

NdoorTX

I noticed that today as well. It was sad to see all those trees clear cut. I hope the development that does take place will remediate and replace them. If not on the site, somewhere else on the airport grounds. Like the southern entrance. Hopefully we will hear more of this project soon.

From my perspective, my commute from N. Oak Cliff into town has improved. That's taking Hampton to I-30 and getting onto Woodall Rogers. Woodall hasn't improved though.

This development really needs to put residential first and foremost. If that means it needs to change hands, than so be it.
