The sculpture stands about ten feet tall on a short pedestal. It is a twisted stack of straight forms, almost looking like a helix of books though it is hollow inside. Nicely lit and a pretty series of colors, I was not able to find an artist's statement or such that explains what they were trying to do here. If you're nearby or visiting Dallas College, stop and check it out. [Review 773 of 2024 - 530 in Texas - 21804 overall]

I love coming back from slinging mud everywhere with a truck completely covered, with chunks of mud the size of loaves of bread that fall off from under your wheel wells. If you don't have 4wd, it's just gonna take a lot more flooring it. Don't go mudding with your windows down, keep the vehicle straight unless you're doing donuts. Don't call me if you get stuck.

Yeeehaw to Dallas for such a vibrant public arts scene!…read more This town is tops for the arts! They do such a great job with large scale public works of art in Dallas! Check out the giant eyeball! The longhorns that run through Pioneer Plaza! For murals, the best spot is Deep Ellum. If you're a fan of graffiti art, there's huge spray painted murals. Some are guerrilla, done by artistic locals while keeping an eye out for 5-0. Others are done by local bars, and promote something cool. The Deep Ellum robots are a cool site to behold. Dallas certainly has a vibe to it, which is helped by the public arts scene. Three cheers to landlords who allow the sides of their warehouses to be used as a canvas for the local arts community. I suppose one could say that the best place to check out Dallas Arts is the Dallas Museum of Arts. While it does have a magnificent portfolio of famous artists, the real arts scene is on the streets where everyone can take in the art, and the locals participate.

But it's only four stars because the nearby Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is fantastic. Also, there are a few issues with the bridge that needed repair to the sections that carry pedestrians and bicycles. A concrete bridge, it includes two suspension arches on each side of the bridge that peak at 350 feet high. It is quite pretty with a main span of 1125 feet. Ten lanes of traffic includes one reversible lane that can swap for traffic. There is no toll to cross the bridge. It is named for philanthropist Margaret McDermott (1912-2018) who donated millions to institutions linked to the arts, education and science. [Review 761 of 2024 - 520 in Texas - 21792 overall]

The race was organized by the junior league of lake highlands. I was happy with the price options at this race. They did well by starting the fun run people well ahead of the 5k start. The carnival was great and they had tons of food, water, chick fil a, and un sweet tea from enchiladas. They had a cross fit tent out there at the carnival but I'm not sure if Scott L had a chance to check it out and meet the people. The race itself had over two hundred participants. I think we all did fairly well except Cat might have had an issue with timing. I'm thinking it might be from her trying to eat before the race and getting sick. The race results were posted very quickly after we were done and I was pleased with how it all went down. I hope this is one of many races we might end up doing in the future. I will tell you that immigration was unable to keep up with me today! Great fun and I'm glad we had a solid turnout. Thanks, to all that showed up and this was a great start to whatever goal it is you're trying to achieve.

This stunning stone sculpture stands on Harwood Street in front of another of the downtown Dallas…read moresteel and glass towers. The organic shape is a welcome change. It is a large piece of art and almost beckons to climb on it. But don't! The stone plaque at the base reads, "This sculpture titled 'Bear Mountain Red - A Texas Landscape', after the quarry that it came from in Fredericksburg Texas, is a merger of the human character with organic abstraction. The piece was carved by Alice Maynadier Bateman from a 12 1/2 ton block quarried especially for the Diamond Shamrock Building. The sculpture was blocked out in the artist's Fort Worth studio and complete on this site September 18, 1982." It continues, "We are creative only when we imagine most vividly, when we hope most profoundly, when we have the courage to live on the edge of our possibilities." The Diamond Shamrock company had moved from Cleveland to here in Dallas but is no longer, having been acquired by Valero Energy, which is based in San Antonio.
