Most of the retail/restaurants in the video appeared to be made-up and fake, but I did see Jamba Juice and Jimmy John's. Does that mean, at the very least, those two will be coming to The Epic?
Also, still can't get over how lame 'The Epic' sounds, but this is a fantastic development, especially considering the area, so I'll let it slide...

It looks better IMO without the paint

History made as Dallas agrees to $2 million tax break needed to turn Deep Ellum landmark into a hotel
...For the first time in city history, the City Council decided a bare patch of land qualifies for tax incentives meant to preserve historic buildings...
...The Pittman's developers, Vine Street Ventures and boutique-hotel builders Archtower, told the council they need the $2 million to cover gaps in their financing — that without the incentives, they would not be able to restore the Pythian Temple.
Jeff Cohen, who heads Vine Street, told the council Wednesday that once the temple is restored and the addition is constructed, the Pittman may well be "one of the most expensive hotels ever developed in Dallas."...
"If it is true the city of Dallas has historically done a bad job of preserving its history, it has done a particularly bad job of preserving its African-American history," said downtown council member Philip Kingston. "We're really making a change, and this project is a symbol of that change."

But the lights they're testing are beyond belief -- and I don't mean in a good way. They are so bright that with just one floor lit it's borderline uncomfortable to look at them from a half mile away. God knows what it's going to be like when they're all lit at once. And imagine what it's going to be like for the drivers on the highway just a couple hundred yards away.
Hopefully this a temporary situation while they're testing, and they'll turn them down later. But if not I can see a major uproar.
(For the record, I love most of the LED lights on the rest of the buildings downtown. It's just this one building that's gone off the scale.)
