Downtown Dallas development surges with new deals

After taking time off for the recession, developers are rushing to get the next generation of downtown Dallas real estate projects underway. At least two dozen developments are either in the works or planned to start soon — including new hotel space, apartments and remodeled office skyscrapers.

AWWWW!!! Poor Dalley Wauwie!

Welcome to the life of your big brother... Houston. Its been slammed, slighted, and given a bad rap for at least the last century. But i don't think that's the case in Dallas. Just a case of Dallas pouting when it's not always the star of the show.

That really was a double post(thought the first one didn't ....sorry if it came off as pouty. Sometimes I use my phone to post and there's plenty of ways to screw something up.

Judging by the results of the poll, it's official.... this is a very homer-friendly vote thread.

If that was true Huston would be winning by a landslide as most Houston posters voted San Antonio.

lol.


To be fair, Houston and Dallas are improving in their downtown areas, so I guess I can understand.

As I said before, i personally don't think Houston should be winning, but It is funny how the Dallasites want to call "homerism" on a poll that they're losing.

The most pedestrian-friendly neighborhood thread (that Uptown Dallas is currently winning) seems to have no complaints there. Hypocrasy "hating" behavior strikes again.

I don't think Dallasites care. Judging from your posts in this and other threads it seems your taking polls to seriously. All this while Dallasites keep improving their downtown.
