And finally it's not nearly as easy to get around down there and find your way like it is in Fort Worth. Nothing against what they're doing. I'm glad it's working for them but I'm not a huge fan.

Anybody see the Star-Telegram article about this? I just saw it but can't post it right now.

I know I sound like a huge Cheesescake Factory cheerleader, but honestly I've never eaten a meal there. I just know how people within my sphere of influence talk about it and how ridiculous the crowds always are at those places.
This is a win for Sundance.

In regard to the plaza closing at night I wonder if any of that is intended to keep homeless people from camping out there over night.
Also, in regard to the 'heavy-handed' policies of the Basstapo I for one am grateful that they are in place. One of the things I brag about is how safe downtown Fort Worth is all times day or night. I feel comfortable meeting my wife there, even if she has to walk several blocks by herself from where she parks. I would not feel as comfortable with it in downtown Dallas or many other large cities. Without the Basstapo that wouldn't be as true.

#76732 Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. Strategic Plan Update
Posted by SurplusPopulation on 23 April 2013 - 03:53 PM
As someone who does not have the income to live near downtown, and with my kids living in Duncanville and my job by DFW Airport, I cringe when I read about 'traffic taming'. I understand the thought behind that concept, but it is something that benefits the 'haves' instead of the 'have-nots'... the 'have-nots' being the folks whose lives have been dictated by American culture for generations. I didn't choose to have to live in my car, but my reality is my reality, and it frustrates me when others who have different circumstances start making decisions to 'force' me to adjust to or change in order to accomodate them.
I know this little rant may seem random, but I've bitten my tongue plenty of times when this conversation has taken place. I get WHY y'all have these ideas, and why they seem ideal to you, but this is MY Fort Worth too. I was born here, raised here, spent my childhood and highschool and college years in downtown, cultural district, and TCU area. 'Calming' or 'taming' me into not realistically being able to enjoy these areas is frustrating.
Just my two cents... and a little off topic.
