I have been here seven years this November and I thought I was the only one who loves the big city.

The Metroplex did not start out old school. With steady growth [new buildings are being added and old buildings are torn down to build taller ones], DART expanding its light-rail system, MATA expanding its streetcar line, the city of Dallas building its own streetcar line which will connect with the MATA streetcar line, people are moving to downtown and there are rumors of removing an old highway because it’s taking up valuable land, I see a future where people get to where they want by walking and taking the rail.
