Well, We Know One Oak Lawn Median That Won't Need the Grass Cut Soon. Or Ever.

• Might be a good idea to add to the concrete median on Northwest Highway between the Tollway and Central.

• Ignore Lander, you are wrong about this being a barren land. We are in the middle of the great plains, we grow grass here quite well without any additional water.

• Maybe the grass is being tested for use in feeding the Granite Cow sculptures Trammel Crow donated to the Trinity "Sylvan Ave.Bridge"Park, in exchange for all the fill dirt he used in a North Dallas project.

• @Vauxhall02 If artificial grass just needs a good sucking then that might explain why the turf is pristine over at JerryWorld. Sorry, ...still a little bitter.

• @Vauxhall -- SMU wasn't the only ones with that idea. A good 20+ years ago, upon parking to go into the Galleria with family, we noticed spray-painting going on about where the childcare place is on the east side.

• as jamal points out, the median on the south side of the crow castle has artificial turf. in fact, it's been there for many months. the turf is quite dirty and needs a good vaccuming. this reminds me of my first year of grad school at smu. i spotted the maintenance crews spray painting the grass green for parent's weekend. true story. oh, dallas.

• I think Tom Hicks has some unicorn blood. And check with Nolan Ryan if you need any snow monkey substances.

• According to the manufacturer, the artificial grass still has to be applied with a spray mix of angel tears, unicorn blood, and Soylent Green to ensure its "foreverness".

• is it as effective at regulating heat as regular grass? If so, pile it on!

• I want to put this on my balcony, I think it would look really neat to have a small lush lawn 10 stories up, alas, there is not enough square footage to really order some. :( If you can find a 6x11 scrap of it it would be greatly appreciated though.

• dammit. i meant to email you about this week's ago. i saw it in the median on westbound oaklawn (just before the tollway) as well.

• Maybe it's time to move to what Phoenix does -- All rocks, gravel, and cacti on lawns, medians and parks. Seriously, this barren wasteland is not meant to be greeen and lush. If you want that move to Portland (wish I could). Think of the water savings....

• No for Jose Esobedo, yes for Harlan Crow. Maybe Jose should have claimed his plastic grass was an arts project and the city would have given him money!

• Apparently this isn't a historic district? This city somehow manages to look more ridiculous every day.
