Detroit transplants living in Dallas
Thought I’d post up a couple of pictures I took while sitting out on our balcony last week so here they are…
Both shots were taken looking northeast. The building on the left is Elm Place which although currently empty was recently sold and redevelopment is apparently in the works. The shorter green striped building is the Mosaic highrise residential tower, and the angular building behind is the Energy Plaza tower.
If you know me, you know I not only like trains, I have a sick fascination bordering on obsessive behavior when it comes to trains. It would be an understatement to say I was excited moving to Dallas to be in close proximity to a robust and usable mass transit system with multiple light rail lines crisscrossing the metroplex. So when C had a meeting in the far north burbs yesterday that would require her to take the train back, I excitedly offered to ride up to meet her and chauffeur her back downtown. This also provided an opportunity for a break from the Downtown routine, so on the ride back made a stop at Mockingbird Station for dinner and drinks at an Irish pub.
City life provides a multitude of textures for me to take in on my daily dog walk. Now that I have a multi-megapixel camera that goes with me everywhere I thought it might be fun to start documenting some of the more interesting things I come across.
