The Dallas core is doing better than ever though. I think Houstonians need to stop thinking that taller always means better. Uptown Dallas is slowly creeping far far north and the development is spilling over into east and west Dallas. I'm young but in my short life time I noticed how Dallas is so different than what it was when I was growing up in east Dallas. There used to be shootouts and bums all over old east Dallas but now you have developments attracting the similar type of people that uptown does. And they usually don't make it into these forums so it's been a quiet transformation.

Sic'embears are you champion dallas from Dallas metropolis?

Meow? that was funny

What do you mean? Have we talked a lot more on this sub forum than usual? Lol.

If I'm not mistaken its called the Rolex building because it is going to be Rolex offices. They already have a pretty big Dallas office in an old 80's office building right next door and they just wanted to have better and more modern offices.

I don't know why people make such a big deal about SA having some of the most beautiful buildings in Texas if when you look at their downtown closely it is a very poor downtown. There isn't even that many buildings to begin with... I lived there and I was surprised at how the residents of the city really believe that they live in a world class city just because they know that tourists from around the world congregate on the riverwalk. The first day I was on a boat on the riverwalk the tour guide told the boat full of tourists that San Antonio's economy is bigger than Dallas' and that they were closely behind Houston in size. Either way, believe it or not I enjoyed living there even though I got out as fast as I could and I am glad that they are getting a new tower designed by Pelli.

Lol you can see some here... http://forum.dallasmetropolis.com/forumdisplay.php/85-DFWU-Videography

Sure you can hate the layout and whatnot but it's a very good website nonetheless. It has some of the most informative and well connected members that every once in a while let us know little inside information on projects u/c or in the future.

Ok? I don't think anybody was being disrespectful.

Nice of you to share it with us? Either way I looked it up on google and an old Texas Monthly article has that quote printed on it so I don't know maybe he did say it. I'm sorry dude but not everyone loves Houston.

Didn't know that. Changes my viewpoint entirely.

Not trying to argue but that project has been stalled due to the community surrounding it fighting it aggressively.

Deep Ellum is gonna be a lot different in a few years after a few more projects. I just don't like the developments targeting only moneyed people.

Those pics from post #2103 are making me extremely jealous. That is a beautiful building and what a great impact its having on its skyline.

Either way have any of you guys been up here recently? Uptown is dense as heck now. It seems like some development is finally spilling over to the east side (Deep Ellum) and Oak Cliff.

I don't think so. He said many other things and in other threads that are simply based on a dislike of Dallas.

I will. Some people really want Dallas to fail.

Oh my god... Reading this actually made me lol. This guy did hard drugs for sure. I know it's old but I just joined this forum and this thread was interesting enough to read old posts.
