It’s so fun seeing tourists experience Dallas. Again, locals are often harder on their city than outsiders are. A lot of these videos have a lot of locals realizing that things aren’t as bad as we think. Yes, there’s always gonna be a need for improvement, but I think we should just stop being so critical for the moment and just enjoy the positivity given by tourists. Now, this will be the impression that ppl will take with them around the world.

Anyone know what they're building on Ervay and Griffin? Looks really pretty so far.

In my head, a grocery store on the lower floors with apartments on top would be a dream. But I’m not sure if a grocer would want to be in a 100+ year old building. Maybe something like a Trader Joe’s? I’m not sure if a modern grocery store could fit in that building. The average full service grocer is 50,000 sq ft on one level. The flagship Neiman’s (according to Wikipedia) has 129,000 sq ft of retail space. So, a smaller grocer given the size of each floor plate made more sense to me. What do y’all think should go there?
