The freeway loop didn't exist back then!!!

Downtown Dallas is the Central Business District (CBD) in Dallas, Texas USA, located in the geographic center of the city. The area termed "Downtown" has traditionally been defined as bounded by the downtown freeway loop: bounded on the east by I-345 (although known and signed as the northern terminus of I-45 and the southern terminus of US 75 (Central Expressway), on the west by I-35E, on the south by I-30, and on the north by Spur 366 (Woodall Rodgers Freeway). The square miles, population and density figures in the table to the right represent the data for this traditional definition.
However, the strong organic growth of Downtown Dallas since the early 2000's and continuing into the present has now resulted in Downtown Dallas, Inc.'s expansion of the term "Downtown" to include the explosive growth occurring immediately north of the Woodall Rodgers Freeway in the Victory Park and Uptown/Turtle Creek Districts as well as past Central Expressway to the east in the Deep Ellum and Bryan Place Districts, past Interstate 30 to the south with the Cedars District, and jumping over Interstate 35E to the west to include the Design District and Lower Oak Lawn. In total there are 11 districts that now form the definition of "Downtown".

No it's not and not even close. Downtown and Uptown Houston are like six miles apart. Uptown Dallas is just across the freeway from Downtown Dallas and both will be even more connected once the park over Woodall Rogers is complete. A better comparison would be Downtown and Midtown Houston, where many Houstonians just lump Midtown in with Downtown. Just like many in DFW don't know the difference between Downtown/Uptown Dallas.

Did you look at the map? Downtown Dallas, inc is trying to make downtown bigger than it really is. Downtown Dallas, inc cannot place the boundaries on downtown. Baylor University Medical Center isn't apart of downtown, Baylor is in East Dallas.

Here's the map.

The bridge actually did turn out to look really nice.....Should help Dallas in the skyline ranking department.

I know the difference.

Downtown is dead, Uptown isn't. Uptown is pedestrian friendly, downtown isn't.

My friends thought it was ugly but they changed their minds. Last week we passed by it, I just seen my friends stare in amazement. They couldn't believe it turned out so nice. The cables really made it look nice. I can't wait until it's open.
