The antique shops were open today. We went to eat a Taco's A Go Go for lunch and I saw a couple people walk out.

Why don't we have permanent artwork like this hanging all over Midtown? This is a great piece!

Man this is huge news!

Christian's Tailgate coming soon!

It reminds me of someone who didn't give a damn

Damn that plaza is ugly smh... great pic though

In Houston, if you build it, the people will come. I think just about anything will work in this city because it shows clear as day that the people would love a more urban experience in this city. I work in Midtown, and there are so many people walking to school, work ,etc. I love it.

Simply looking at Google Earth and following the area around McKinney from Maple up to Blackburn (excepting of course where Lemmon crosses), should give you an example of an urban neighborhood that is probably the most successful in Texas outside of a downtown. But you are right, the lack of a street grid doesn't help, and I think will be a great positive factor for Midtown longterm.

I think what I didn't like was it just seemed forced. Outside of that area the city tapers off drastically. And while a lot is still planned for the area, it felt more like a city center than a natural urban environment.

I was just in dallas recently and I found nothing that stood out better than what we have here. They put suburban next to urban all over their 'uptown'. And the one thing I didn't like was how disorganized it felt. They had some corners that seemed to turn in to these grand areas only for them to fade out on the next block. I think the lack of a street grid didn't help either. Me and my gf wandered all over their downtown and I was not impressed at all. For all their 'planning' things seemed so out of place and so overdone.

Though the idea was a bit ambitious... let's take a step back and realize that this plot of land could become some very nice residential with ground floor retail. I felt like the Nau Center was nice, and a great idea, but in the back of my mind I wanted the land to be used for so much more. Maybe another Catalyst type development? I mean the Alexan development will start construction in June, and along with the Finger property and the Catalyst, it will create a great environment outside the ballpark. You figure another mid-rise on the Nau Center land, and we could have some real connectivity between the JuiceBox and Market Square and some nice density outside the ballpark.

So stupid smh... at least we know the project is moving forward

Yep I see that every day... dude is awesome

lol why even make a rendering of that?

Because dallas likes to brag about everything they build, yet everything they build is not that impressive

And why are all those people pictured in downtown dallas?

That's so stupidly amazing incredible spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish this was already happening, but we gotta wait 

I work across the street at Adcetera... this is awesome!

Hey even though it a government facility, it's def an upgrade for the area

J Cuervo is a friend of mine

He's my cousin

Niiice!

Unfortunately I think you're right in assuming Campo has extremely unrealistic expectations..

And yeah, what jcuervez(?) asked.. Will the park at least be moving forward?

JCuevas

So the park itself? What happens there? Is the park moving foward just not the apartments?

This makes me so angry

You're giving him too much credit LTAWACS calling him an ape... but man how can we replace this guy with maybe someone like Mr. Hines?

This guy is full of it!

October!? Dang!
