The Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center opened its doors in September 1989 -- seems like only 18 years ago. Accordingly, there are big doings at I.M. Pei's palace on September 27 -- a free open house that'll include the intriguingly advertised "instrument petting zoo." And if you've got a few spare moments, Meyerson's 2MCompanies Inc. just posted Part One of a making-of doc, and it's quite the revealing flashback from the man who says toward the end that "I'm really not a public person" when explaining his reluctance to let H. Ross Perot bestow upon the joint Meyerson's name. I'll post Part Two when it becomes available.
I agree with Religion: Unfair Park and the Observer in general bash everything in Dallas,no matter what it is. I'm waiting for them to say something positive about anything built, or proposed in this city. If you've looking for civic pride, the Observer is not the place to go.
Cracker Daddy is with ROB on this one. The Meyerson is one of the jewels of Dallas.

great video, thanks for posting it.
Hence this post, RoB. And my Mom, a docent at the Meyerson, will not tolerate disparaging words about the joint.
It seems to be popular to bash the Meyerson on Unfair Park, but IMHO it's one of the few things in Dallas that actually deserves to be described as "world-class."
