Dallas, Your Future Is Now!

Wed Mar 19, 2008 at 03:00:41 PM

I can't stop watching this brightly animated, virtually populated sneak peek of Dallas' future just posted to YouTube by the fine folks at the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, scheduled to open in the fall of '09. The Multiform Theater is especially fascinating -- is that part of the holodeck or not? --Robert Wilonsky

Apparently, there won't be any Fat people in Dallas by the fall of 2009.

And what's with those light beams at the end? A new definition of "Light Rail"?

Chris says:

really cool.

But will I need a $30,000 seat license to buy season tickets?

JB says:

It kinda looks like a giant beer butt chicken cooker next to a huge shower stall. Cool video though. It doesn't look like anything is built on the levys.... will there be sailboats in the fountain?

paul says:

I just hope the city's smart enough to build a skatepark REALLY close to that place, otherwise I see some very nice gaps, ledges and stairs just begging for wax

Warhol Reject says:

Really impressive (and different) architecture for Dallas when compared to the last few years of new developments/buildings (not counting the Cowboy's Thunderdome) - And the whole time I was watching, I was waiting for a T-Rex or Nick Cage to flee an approaching firestorm or an equally mortal special effect...

Did anyone catch the ED-209 standing guard in front of the Opera House??? ;)


Jo Jo the Magic Bean says:

Architecture is wonderful and overall great venue. However, I see that plan and simply think "well, Ross Ave. traffic is gonna blow in late 2009. Woodall service road will be a nightmare too."

Toots says:

Another place the rich in Dallas can go once a year while our neighborhoods fall apart.

jquaker says:

I give it two years of operations before this thing is swimming in red ink....they have neglected to raise a sufficient endowment....who is going to bail it out??

Jean Val Jean says:

@iquaker:

Well, we are, of course! haven't you been paying attention to your City Council?
