...why is @DallasCityMgr still carrying water for #RollsRoyce and his schemes? Who, other than #Rolls is really for this boondoggle? Is @shawnpwilliams firm working on this for West? @CoalitionNewDAL @DEF_Texas

Two images:

1) 1940's Dallas redlining map (via @aiadallas)
2) Overlaid with interstate highways (built 1950's-1970's)

The separation in Oak Cliff stands out. Nearly all redlined areas are east of I-35, only to add the barrier of interstate construction 20 years later.

Friday evening, on a very quiet, dark and sultry foreshore, the river finally gave me what I've been waiting 15 years for... a medieval pewter pilgrim badge. Thomas a Becket, c.14th century and the only hand that's touched it in almost 700 years is mine

I thought we had cured you of “metroplex,” a bastard word created by a Dallas ad agency circa 1973. They have long since gone out of business, so watch yourself.

BREAKING: Edmonton Council just voted UNANIMOUSLY to eliminate parking minimums in all zones CITY-WIDE! Will this inspire other North American cities to tackle the “3rd rail” of city-building, outdated parking requirements? Big implications for #ClimateCrisis, affordability, etc.

TxDOT: Our I-45 project will displace thousands of people, most of them people of color. And we are going to have to demolish a 115-year-old church in the first black city in Texas.
