Dallasboi

Now that I think about it......This event probably would have a better feel on lower greenville considering the setup being the closest thing to a Bourbon Street atmosphere.....but since the city chose Victory park...I think that as the years go on it can develop its own personality...and it will have a different feel from the traditional Mardi Gras set up....therefore we create our own authentic cutural experience.

Hey Mister X! .....Im just curious about something.....If we are not allowed to talk about progress and updates about Dallas inthe "DFW SUBFORUM" ....then just what ARE we supposed to be discussing ?....And just what are all the other topics in the "DFW SUBFORUM" all about? .........(drumroll).....................DALLAS!

Uhhh... correct me if Im wrong,but I think the shot came from you guys when when that was said about New Years Eve.....Im just stating the obvious so we wont have to go down that road again

Ok.......What rule am I breaking?.......what am I doin wrong....All I do is post the link...and whatever i write with the link,I make sure its not flame bait......so what is it!......Pleeease tell me....somebody!!!!!

Gosh.......I think the video said they were expecting 5000 people to show up....so it wasnt planned on that big of a scale......with that being said.....It WAS awsome because it shows that Dallasites have began to open their eyes and minds to something different.and new...This is just the beggining.......Victory is really taking off...........PERIOD!

Im sorry if I offended you in any way.....But I really don't understand how my post was unfriendly.........And.........when I post stuff like this...its really just to keep you guys in houston informed on victory's status at becoming a non stop destination...true enuff there are alot of nay-sayers down in Houston,and I've always went by the sayin..."Seeing is Believing".....so I thought this would be interesting to display........and again...my intent is never to offend anyone Im just so glad victory is creating its own buzz with creative Ideas.I think thats the concept ...to think of as many ways possible to draw people downtown.

I went to this event also....and I do have to admitt....It was awsome!....People drinking in and dancing in the streets....35'000 people showed up to victory...Wow......no game to blame the crowd on this time!!! http://www.wfaa.com/video/index.html?nvid=214301&shu=1

I do apologize.....I misunderstood........again Musicman Im sorry.

Nlo....thats not ttrue......where did u hear that?

This is ultimately my opinion also.......

I agree with u on most of this ......In todays world i think developers focus on having the right "CONCEPT"....They look at older cities that grew more organically and try to mock the success by recreating what is preceived to be the BEST urbanism...the thing that that makes me agree with you is the fact that those great places that they mock(New York,Chicago,ect.)took time to arrive at the point where they are.......Its mor History and culture accured within those districts....So...To think that you can create this overnight,would seem rediculous.....but my theory on that is.....Everything thats old started out new...with that being said....I feel that we are definitely planting the right seeds and infrastructure to grow into one of the great cities of the future..and thats why I don't take offense to insults to Dallas,Victory Park or anything else...because I know we are doing the right stuff.....and no matter how anybody point out the small lil nick and nacks and predict failure.....u cant deny that Dallas is really on the ball.

Nobody ever denied the fact that victory is still somewhat on an event basis experience.....However..........New Years Eve was indeed an "EVENT".....and it turned out awsome!.....thats all Im pointing out......The atmosphere was indeed a small taste of what IS to come in the future when Victory becomes more of a non-stop destination..........I do recall noting that its still not quite built out yet........so...these early judgements,assumptions and gloomy predictions are expected and accepted because this is still a work in progress.......The Houston Pavillions will go through the same thing.....trust me.......Oh....accept the fact that everything will be built at once in the HP....so.....When you go once........you wont have to go for a while because it wont be anything new coming along for a while......Not the same case with VP........see.....we will still be building VP when HP is already old news....It will still be a reason to.....go down and see whats new.....Just an observation.

*Sigh*........I guess everybody still hating.......as usual................

Hey red I started a whole thread with the footage of that night.....Just look at the crowd at the start of the video..........Oka...Lets just say that they were Hockey fans......People are People...weather they came from a game a club or their houses...c'mon....be realistic......It was awsome!!!!

I Experienced this first hand...IT WAS CRAZY!!!!!! http://www.wfaa.com/video/index.html?nvid=204948&shu=1

Hey Red...I do agree that this is a logical theory of assumption....but it is totally untrue.....I was there and I wacthed the video on-line the next day......Victory was bursting from the seams and it was incredible!!!!......Its no way you or anyone else for that matter,can dispute the magnitude of this event....To me ...This night.....Victory proved to be what it was built to be.....and its not even halfway built out...........Dallas is arriving...(if we havent already).........But just to give you and any other poster out there the benefit of the doubt.....I was drinking that night....so MAYBE......those thosands and thousands of people that was out ther was just an illussion and everyone did leave when the hockey game was over.....as you said in your earlier post....Bye Bye! P.S....Oh and I think you should log on to wfaa.com and watch the video yourself.......We all know that seeing is believing!!!

I do agree with you to some degree,but I can say that alot of the more popular run down neighborhoods seem to be on the right track in regards to infrastructure and some key developments. So with this being said.......I really dont see a big difference between the status of Dallas as in any other U.S.Big city..........But I guess its because all news cant be good news and any city has and will always have room for improvement.......Trust me ....were getting it right...and if not....we'll just keep tryin until we do.......i mean....Isn't that what dallas has a reputation for?......go figure

To me.....Its all just a bunch of Papers.........Seeing is believing.....and if all of this development and progress thats been happening is a sign of decline,then I don't care if DTD ever turn around

So...........Did u have an orgasm?

And whenever it gets built............u will have to be mopped up off the floor cause In know you are gonna melt....like the wicked witch of the west.

What I meant when I said that was........I think thats the wrong way to look at it....He asked why should houston play dress up if thats not the true character of the city......and i disagree with the playing dress up part.....Playing dressup would be equivelent to sprucing a city up two week before the superbowl and pan it off as if it was a clean sparkling city 365 days a year and in reality it will go right back to being the same gritty city it was before the event....or renting a BMW for the weekend and drving it around showing people your new car ....The HP situation is very different........I think it is part of a foundation thats needed to create a natural feel of vibrancy that we all desire......for example....instead of renting the bmw...its more like starting a savings account to hold the money that u are saving to PURCHASE the BMW..so it will become a rightful part of you....you then wont have to PLAY DRESS UP like you have a BMW...it will really be yours..........To make a long story short.......Houston won't be playing dress up ...they would be setting a foundation to build a natural vibrancy that all us Texans dearly seek.......Thats what I meant.......Oh and REd I hope I didn't bore u wit this one.....

Hmmmm....i don't think you understand.

...lets face it...even if dallas had a 70% vacancy rate....Houstonians will still feel like they have to prove to the world that Dallas dosent add up to Houston....and that dallas is dying.......GET OVER IT......I mean anyone knows that Dallas has always and probably will for a long time have a HIGHER vacancy rate than houston.....But the GREEN eyes always seem to focus in on whats Going on and up in the Horrible city of Dallas...

C'mon REd....Crime is not a new thing in big cities.......Hell every big city has it.....Oh I forgot...thats just what Houstonians try to use against us to make us look worse off and them feel better....It perfectly ok wit me......any publicity is good publicity.....yep even wit crime statistics looking the way they look(its getting better now)The cranes are still flying everywhere.....And to me ..thats whats important right now.

I totaly disagree about atlanta.......... And do you REALLY want me to tell u how we are ahead?..........its really no need to go thru all of that but I will if I have too............but u already know....its just so hard for you to swallow...
