Harwood Closed Today

Uptown Dallas Today
   For those of you that use Harwood as your entrance to Downtown Dallas nevermore. Harwood will be closed today 10-19-2009 and should remain closed forever. The section that crosses the Woodall Rodgers Freeway is being closed so that work can begin in earnest on the Woodall Rodgers Park. Some of the frontage road on both sides of the freeway will also be closed at times for the next 2 or more years. There will also be times when the entire Woodall Rodgers  Freeway will be closed so that support beams can be set in place across the freeway. Sounds exciting and will be fun to watch the engineering feat.
   The Woodall Rodgers Park now has an updated web site . A blog is in the works and maybe a webcam of the construction site. There are a few more diagrams of the new park. Just a  reminder Main Street Gardens opens in November.
   The Dallas City Arts Festival usually held in June will be in May 7th-9th in 2010. The big surprise, as predicted here, is that the City Arts has been moved to Fair Park. Maybe a name change is in order . The Arts District just reopened , an amazing opening too, and now we move the City Arts to Fair Park. As I recall this is the  home of ArtFest and now Fair Park Art Fest. Makes perfect sense in this City move the Arts District Art Festival from the just completed Arts District to Fair Park so that it can compete with ArtFest. 
   I think it must be Monday.
