Where The DCVB's Sending All Those Librarians Due to Descend Upon Downtown Next Week

• the CVB is membership based.  So mostly they recommend members and depending on the event, location of the accommodations and the clientele's request determines what goes into their itinerary.

• If you go to the VisitDallas.com website, and look under "SIghts & Attractions," the first thing on the list is Six Flags, which is in Arlington.

• God help us - the librarians are in town.  According to my mom, who is a retired librarian, the librarians are big time party animals.  Lock up your husbands and sons.

• Re-imagining the library has meant getting rid of some of the books, staff, and hours, and turning the branches into social destinations, where people hang out at free internet terminals and chat. I think they're but a step away from opening up fast food restaurants in them, as well.

• I'm willing to bet the featured few had to pay for this little bit of "free" advertising.  And note to Mr. Southlake -- since your operation also runs (amok over) Farmer's Market, how about at least listing Pecan Lodge and La Popular?

• Man!! how embarrasing!!!  Seems like the the DCVB knows the least interesting places to send out of town visitors.

• Where is the *ucking picture of Kent Rathbun?

• Sweet, time to get the suit cleaned and head out to the Hyatt, and pick up on librarians that have first hand experience of WWI. I'll have to cock block some scholastic book lobbyist trying to pimp his company's rewrite of the US contstitution ratification. Thanks for the heads up Robert. Nothing like new meat coming to town. I bet all the handicaped parking is going to be a perfect spot to set up camp, and watch some blue hairs toss insults at eachother.

• I've tried Texas Land & Cattle a few times since I live down the block and always had some of the worst steaks I have ever had. Of all the steak places in Uptown, Texas Land & Cattle, seriously?

• From the ALA: Locations: Dallas Convention Center – DCC Adolphus Hotel – ADOL Fairmont Hotel – FAIR Hyatt Regency Dallas at Reunion – HYATT** Magnolia Hotel – MAG Marriott City Center – MAR Omni Hotel Dallas – OMNI* Sheraton Dallas Hotel – SHER** Off Site – OS *Headquarters **Co-Headquarters

• I like steak

• Any idea where the majority of the librarians are staying? Just curious if they are mobile or have to walk and/or use DART. Have to agree that some of that stuff is pretty lame and not places I would encourage out-of-towners to visit.

• It irks me to no end that there's no mention of Fair Park. Don't they think SOME of these librarians would be interested in history and architecture? No, let's send them to Victory Park where there's nothing to do.

• I know that when I'm thinking of going to Uptown, or thinking about a nice steak, I'm thinking Texas Land & Cattle. wait.... What???

• Um Dumb Dumb (by which I mean DCVB), Tom Tom Asian Grill closed long ago and has already been re-opened as Malai... So we're going to send these people to a place that's no longer open??

• Well, at least the recommendations are in the City of Dallas.  I wonder how much it cost to get a mention in this flyer?
