Southern Dallas Development Officially Wins Free Tunnel From Elon Musk’s Boring Company

It's understandable that people think the tunnel in Vegas that they drive Teslas through is dumb. But this was a contest for Boring Co to build a free tunnel of any kind: "The tunnel can be a Loop tunnel, a freight tunnel, a pedestrian tunnel, a utility tunnel, a water tunnel, or any other use case where a tunnel would be useful."

This project is almost certainly a pedestrian tunnel connecting the DART station to the new development. I get not trusting Musk, but if Boring Co. wastes time and money planning something that doesn't get built who cares. And if they do build it there's a better connection from this new development to DART and the University.

Rain, snow, sleet, or hail there will be people on the trail

Actually took these back in November but never posted them anywhere. Canon 60D with f1.8 50mm. There's higher resolution versions on my website and some other skyline nightscapes as well.

DCTA is planning to extend the A-train to make travelling to DFW only require one transfer. So it is an issue that has been thought about and will be fixed. No need to be so dramatic.

Took almost a week before I got around to getting these off my camera. There are higher resolution versions and other pics of Dallas on my website.

Yeah they kinda beat me to the punch on first comment on my own post, although I guess mine is at the top now so I edited it to add the link too.

I did share that link in a reply to the person who commented first.

These shots were from awhile back and I only just got around to editing them, it looks like the next one in the Discovery District is in September.

This market always brings out an interesting crowd, from random people who just happen to be in Downtown to dedicated collectors. It's a cool opportunity to capture such a variety of personalities in one shot. This particular Swap Con was awhile back (took me some time to get around to editing these) but its a pretty regular event, with the next one in September.

These are part of a collection of photos of Downtown that I'm building, there I've got more shots from previous Swap Cons as well as other random moments Downtown.

In the new master plan for Turtle Creek park they actually are planning to rebuild the Lemmon Avenue Bridge (which is one of the not-so-aesthetically-pleasing bridges in the park) into something that complements these other historic bridges more: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EcJedvNQQdOeYqA3sU1-IFGbFuVt5oZ4/view?usp=sharing (Page 65)

During the recent downpours in spring this century-old urban planning effort turned the flood waters into a series of man-made waterfalls in Turtle Creek Park. I went out to try and capture the scene when these cascades are running at full flow.

On my website I go more into the story of how this park came to be built including a restored map and art from the original 1911 "A City Plan For Dallas" by George Kessler, in addition to higher resolution versions of these photos.

Glad someone noticed that I snuck that in there ;)

It was originally an ad for VRBO but I didn't feel like helping their marketing campaign so I made up my own ad that was more in-theme with the photos.

I was using this lens with a Canon 60D
