    Let Me Sum Up

    Will Henderson Avenue end up like Knox Street? Please, no

    • Museum Tower will offer its own report on proposed solutions in the battlebetween it and the Nasher Sculpture Center.
    • Knox Street is a terrible model for Henderson Avenue’s development. Ignore theweird mall-like shopping and dining choices mixed with the few decent diningchoices, like Toulouse Cafe & Bar.

    • Like the best places along Henderson, Tried and True feels homey, cool, andwell-integrated with its surroundings.

    • Henderson Avenue works (right now) simply because has great destinations, placesthat fit the neighborhood well.

    Let’s say you’re ready to go out to eat, drink, be merry. Doesn’t matter if it’s Thursday happy hour, midnight Saturday night, Sunday brunch — the routine for me (and, I suspect, for you) is always the same.

    You perform a mental sweep of Dallas neighborhoods or entertainment districts in your mind. Uptown, downtown, McKinney Avenue, Design District, East Dallas, Bishop Arts, the Cedars …

    This is an astonishingly complex process, wherein you take in years’ worth of data concerning cost, parking, atmosphere, traffic, recent excursions, future plans, the migration patterns of assholes you hope to avoid, the migration patterns of close friends you hope to avoid, etc.

     

      Henderson Avenue is an area I often settle on, not because it is well-developed or has good parking, but because it simply has great destinations.

    A question as simple as “where you wanna go?” sets in motion a computational formula so intricate [insert Nate Silver joke here].

    I understand this. You understand this. I fear the folks who just bought up most of Henderson Avenue do not understand this. Henderson Avenue is an area I often settle on when this question is asked, not because it is well-developed or has good parking, but because it simply has great destinations, places that fit the neighborhood well.

    Last week, after driving around town for 20 minutes, we decided on Nick Badovinus’ new Tried and True, for example, and couldn’t have been more pleased. Like the best places along Henderson, it felt homey, cool, and well-integrated with its surroundings.

    Now, please read this story, because I don’t want to recount all the things about their $50 million Henderson Avenue land grab that scare the hell out of me. Suffice to say that whenever the takeaway is that Henderson Avenue needs to be more like the dining/drinking/shopping/living experience of Knox Street, it’s enough to make the West End look like a preferable choice.

    Knox Street is a terrible model for Henderson Avenue’s development. Ignore the weird mall-like shopping and dining choices mixed with the few decent dining choices. Just understand that Knox Street succeeds because it sits on Highland Park’s front porch.

    It’s a completely unique situation. Its mix of Restoration Hardware, Chili’s, On the Border, and Crate & Barrel with Toulouse, Highland Park Pharmacy, La Duni and the cooler spots along Travis Walk would seem schizophrenic anywhere else.

    But the developers aren’t paying $50 million to put in more risky, chef-driven, whiskey-and-burger bars like Tried and True. Check out the background of the top people in Open Realty Advisors: Restoration Hardware, Apple stores, high-rent multi-use projects — that’s the Open Realty model.

    The previous sites mentioned include one such model in Buckhead, a.k.a. the Shops at Legacy of Atlanta, and this thing in Las Vegas. Look at it. Do not avert your gaze!

    Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe they will do what needs to be done: slowly integrate new density-increasing, smart-growth projects with the successful ventures already there. If not, it won’t take much before Henderson Avenue becomes one of those places that, when performing my mental sweep, makes me say, “Oh, god no, not if we can help it.” Like Knox Street.

    Channel 8 investigator — and one of the more insane Tweeters in town — Brett Shipp says that Museum Tower today will offer its own report on proposed solutions in the battle between it and the Nasher Sculpture Center. If you need to get up to speed on this, read the fantastic open letter to Museum Tower from John Eagle and Deedie Rose. Pure balls.

    Mark Davis — who blocked me on Twitter — has had a crazy-reduction procedure since the election and offers a reasonable DMN column about what the GOP can do on immigration issues, among other topics.

    I ripped into Tod Robberson last week, so it’s only fair to point out that he has a great blog post on gerrymandering in DISD school district boundaries.

    Fugitive News

    Dallas Police Department arrests 99 fugitives in summer crime program

    The Dallas Police Department has a new round of arrests in Operation Justice Trail, a coordinated effort led by Police Chief Daniel Comeaux to apprehend individuals with violent felony warrants, with 99 fugitives arrested and taken into custody during June.

    The program is a partnership between the Dallas Police Department and the United States Marshals Service which began on May 1, with a goal to identify and take into custody violent criminals. During the firest month of May, a nearly-identical haul of 98 violent felons were arrested, and the initiative will continue through the summer.

    “Our goal is simple: to make Dallas the safest large city in America,” Chief Comeaux says in a statement. “We know that a small percentage of violent criminals are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime. By focusing our efforts on these individuals, we are sending a clear message—violence will not be tolerated in our city.”

    These 99 fugitives, who collectively have 616 total arrests for crimes such as Assault on a Public Servant, Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance, Murder, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Sexual Abuse of a Child, Reckless Driving, and Stalking, were taken into custody by the Dallas Police Department Fugitive Unit and U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force between June 1–30.

    Of those 99 fugitives, 22 were women and 77 were men. Three had arrests for Illegal Entry into the U.S., and one had an arrest for Alien Inadmissibility - Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

    Officials told Fox 4 that officers used "a combination of the city’s camera system and old-fashioned good police work" to make the arrests.

    North Texas Crime Stoppers is offering a guaranteed $1,000 reward for tips submitted to the crime stoppers tipline that lead to the arrest of any individual with an existing felony warrant for specific crimes, until August 31.
