They were just ruled unsafe a few months ago. No way we could build a toll road inside of them. Now they're great. "Things that make you go Hmmmm."

Maybe if we just did levees all the way around downtown so that it will ring the area and let it flood?

Seemed to work for New Orleans.

So we flood downtown, and it will be like Venice -- but just everyone floating around in our own poop from the Trinity.

I predict it will be very popular -- sort of like Water World Dallas.

They could film a sequel to 'Conspiracy Theory' with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts here in Dallas, then. Instead of him driving a land taxi, he could be driving a solar-powered water one! The two of em "water taxiing" around the canals of downtown Dallas, uncovering the city government's dirty secrets. It'd be a box office hit!
