Impossible to tell really looking at that terrible drawing.

It's not the Mandarin, but it's close enough.

Thanks, Maconahey. Coming along nicely!

Tough room.

^ Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly are the advantages of heavy rail over light rail?

texasstar

I must say I never even heard of it.

texasstar

The fountain?

texasstar

Wow! Just, wow!!

The crane has been removed from LVL 29, the 29-story apartment tower adjacent to Plano's Legacy West development. (Tallest building in the Metroplex outside of Dallas and Ft. Worth?) http://www.samclarkjr.com/images/lvl29_001.jpg http://www.samclarkjr.com/images/lvl29_002.jpg

Woohoo! I've wanted to check that place out, is it pretty cool?

You definitely should. It is awesome!

texasstar

Exelone31 bags the no-prize. This is the exhibit in Frisco.

texasstar

Nope, but I will have to check that out.

texasstar

Stunning recreation of Dallas' Union Station in the 1950's. Gold plated No-Prize to whoever can say where this is located.

texasstar

^ Now Nr.3 in Fortune 500 HQ's after New York and Chicago. Not bad at all.

texasstar

Wow, our real estate is among the most valuable in the nation, and we have one of the highest property tax percentages in the country, but our city still can't pay for police, keep roads in decent condition, beautify, build parks, upkeep schools, really nothing. We need a military coup at city hall...

texasstar

^ But, it may have the most levels.

texasstar

Sad to see this. 1700 Pacific is where I worked when I first moved here back in 2001. At the time, I thought it was the coolest building ever. I was on the 34th floor, overlooking the greatest city in the world. I thought I had died and gone to heaven.

texasstar

Not to mention, it may even make the city consider tearing down parts of our uselessly oversized convention center that are not needed and taking up prime real estate. This is truly the strangest hobbyhorse of the Dallas urbanism crowd- There's plenty of "prime real estate" in the form of...

The seething hatred for this beautiful structure continues to mystify me.

texasstar

Wow! Two massive developments! The Colony is going nuts!!!

texasstar

In case we forgot what it looked like...

Our babies grow up so fast.

I believe the owner is the big oil company next door.

I would consider the source.

Why do I visualize a butterfly museum when I see that name?

texasstar

That hotel will be the best looking piece of that mall. Stonebriar looks awful. I KNOW! Stonebriar is LONG overdue for an exterior and interior makeover... The entire look and feel is so tacky and awful, for being one of the best performing malls in the country Im surprised they havent modernized o...

texasstar

Everbody I've shown this to is just blown away. But, I am amazed at the number of people who had no idea we were the 4th largest metro in the nation. How do they not know this?

texasstar

So, based on the Planning Commision application, it will be 39 floors and 432 feet. NOT taller than the W after all. So, somebody saw the 39 floors and made an incorrect assumption?

texasstar

^ It's been ridiculous from the get-go.

texasstar

Not for me. I'll be in China from the 10th to the 21st. Just my luck. I'll have to catch the next one.

texasstar

Those prices just buckled my knees.

Count me in.

Mostly a place to post crazy talk about getting rid of our convention center.
