Description
for those that have passed through downtown Dallas on the interstate I35E one could see a huge stadium/venue. the city of Dallas destroyed it so the new venue farther north would not have competition .I posted pictures of the destruction a number of years ago
many wanted to turn it into a casino, but with the draconian laws of Texas and lobbying of the lottery,casinos in Oklahoma, and churches casinos are not allowed.
mean while billions of dollars leave the state going to Oklahoma and Louisiana not forgetting Nevada

And billions have entered Texas due to computer industries leaving California due to exorbitant taxes and other unpleasantries. So the penny falls both ways. At least Texas doesn't have the crime associated with gambling and casinos. There's a casino in Malmö, Sweden. Despite government control, there's been crime, including prostitution and murder. Not at all fun when one thinks of innocent individuals falling victim to the seedy people in society. A pity they destroyed the old arena. Sounds like corruption in high places. Nice photo of the site - looks huge!

(skipping around some more). Your narrative spells a typically frustrating wasteful piece of state politics, and I sympathize. (We Chicagoans call that "tuesday".) But I was also struck, when this went up, with the shot itself. It's so strange and desolate, and so typical of some sections of urban america. That lush hotel, those lush structures, the arched spans in the right, the bridge; and those Evergreen (I assume) storage cars, or something like that. But then----this big open field! It may have a purpose; but in your shot, it just speaks of the big open areas in big cities, where city structures meet no-man's-land. "The end of the earth," as we called them, years ago. Good symbol for dead-end city plans...An endlessly fascinating capture, very true to life, and visually striking and absorbing---for all it's not, as well as all it is.

Sounds like the same folks we have running things in Missouri. The whole governmental system is rotten from the top down. Time for some serious house-cleaning, methinks....
A most interesting shot, Richard. I like the contrast between the empty field and the busy urban surroundings.
