Re: Dallas: Medical District

Is there a market here to turn some of these buildings into professional buildings like at other hospitals? Or do the County and University force their professionals to take space in captive buildings? Parkland's Doctors all come from UTSW so no professional space is really needed for Parkland, and...

Re: Cedars: Hotel Lorenzo

I had some drinks at the Lorenzo last night. I was very impressed. The developers really have out done themselves. The interior is great and the street side patio has a great view of downtown. It still looks odd sitting at a high class bar and seeing an empty lot covered in brush across the street....

Re: Legacy West

People would cross the tollway if there was a good enough reason to do so. People cross Michigan Avenue in Chicago and Connecticut Avenue in DC and both of those are wide and very busy. I don't think this is such a big deal. It would help if they made the connection as attractive and people-friendl...
