Running all the way through Dallas is a 6,000-acre stretch of massive oaks, bubbling springs and broad meadows. But the river running through it has many of the issues faced by other urban waterways.

Went for lunch downtown today - felt unsafe the entire time - we don't need digital blight monoliths - anyone "looking for a restaurant or something to do" has a phone in their pocket.
