Re: Downtown Dallas: Retail
There was a beautiful shopping center right in the center of Salt Lake City when I went there.
Something like that would do great on the north side of downtown. Bonus points if it were connected to Klyde Warren Park with that weird cat-walk extension they announced a while back.
