re: Here we go again. This time in Dallas. Go to Hell Mitchie

Lived in Dallas area my whole life except for undergrad at LSU. This is the same city that can't get a Cowboys stadium built downtown or in Fair Park. Can't make sure it's police and firemen have a solvent pension. Build a fancy bridge that goes from downtown to an underdeveloped neighborhood. And they let aconvicted felon sit on the search committee for the new police chief.

Everyone I talk to, regardless of where they live, thinks the city council makes some really stupid decisions. They tried for years to build a freeway in a flood plain. Then proceeded to build a PGA level golf course on a landfill; it's built in an area called Trinity Forest and there are no trees left on the course.

There's a lot to like about this town, but it succeeds bc everyone pretty much ignores the leadership.

I lived in DFW for almost 15 years and didn't even know these statues existed.

Then presumably you won't notice them when they're gone.
