https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC_reaiwbIM I don't remember this being posted before, but it's gold. It is a 70's Soviet documentary on life in Dallas that devolves into JFK conspiracy stuff by the end. I saw and translated this when I worked at the Dallas Historical Society years ago, but had comp...
Come on, direct DFW-CDG flights? Meanwhile, I can't get a decent flight when visiting distant relatives in Russia because everything goes through Moscow... At least it will make the flights between Dallas and home much more convenient, and on Air France nonetheless! I just hope they won't follow th...
https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Property-Owner-Paints-Over-Deep-Ellum-Mural-Depicting-US-Marines-487000611.html Similar things have happened in DE before. The "Ace Parking" lot used to be an international street/graffiti artist destination until it was shut down about a decade ago. This ...
Thanks for the update! The fringes of Deep Ellum are getting seriously dense. It's great to see this level of development spread outside of the uptown. A wild fantasy of mine, is to imagine all these neigborhoods (Deep Ellum, Uptown, Oak Lawn, Knox / Henderson, extending south through the Cedars an...

In general, unless you are going to UT campus or on an express bus, the bus service is ...
The only building that the Statler reminds me of in shape and size is the Hotel Uzbekistan in Tashkent, although the Statler is still bigger, I think. Mid-Century, soviet style.
Yeah, 35 is bad. So bad my parents have started taking Amtrak just to visit for the weekend. Just imagine a high speed train that is a straight shot and did not have to take the weird route through Taylor.
Yeah, politics certainly does matter in urban development. From Robert Moses to Stalin to Trammel Crow, it matters. However, when I make a post political here I do scold myself afterwards because I enjoy this forum as an apolitical haven. As for this concept, I do like it.
Wait, I though they determined that removing the murals would essentially destroy them for purposes of preservation? Something about the concrete used to set the art work.
Many of my innovative friends and colleagues are trying to figure out whether or not visas and Green Cards matter anymore. Yeah, growth is going to be huge on the current track.
Costal papers have always overlooked the diversity, political and otherwise, of Texas cities. Still, the main point was that Marcus was quite an extraordinary figure for his time and that did put him in opposition to many Texas power brokers, especially once Shivers began to split up the Democratic ...
I am glad to see that it will have "hiking trails and a small pond." However, this means that no more Pioneer employees will fall into Lake Carolyn while they are jogging :mrgreen: . While staying in the Urban Center would have been great, it makes sense and I hope the new headquarters get...
