tierwestah Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Sans the fun.Yeah i know. I was just talking about the way it lights up at night. I don't mean to bring Houston in to the mix but i wish our city would light up better than it does. The only real thing i see is high mass lighting off the freeways and ugly christmas lights around the buildings. How duller can we be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantanamo Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Not seeing the lighting commonality. Dallas has always been bright and colorful at night. One Arts and Hunt will only add to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmainguy Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 so are you saying that Dallas has no identity? Yes. That's exactly what Trae is saying. As usual, you are clairvoiyant beyond belief. Oh wait! What he said was "On the real, no its not. It is more like Atlanta." He made a comparison! I guess you aren't as clairvoiyant as you appear...no big surprise there.

Mister X Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 (edited) There is no question about Dallas character. Dallas has no character. Poor misguided Dallasonians. Decoration does not equal class. This is just more cheap glitz to help to hide more sorry architecture. Nothing screams "tacky" more than covering something in glitter or in this case, ornamental lighting.This building will definately add to the wonderful night time "junk yard" theme that Dallas has going on. What will they think up next, chaser lights on the opry house? I don't believe that Dallas is trying to copy Vegas, I think it's trying to copy traveling carnival rides. That's "classy" Dallas for you. Edited April 20, 2007 by Mister X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's "classy" Dallas for you.I lack your apparent knowledge of junkyards, particularly junkyards at night, but I still like the way Big D is illuminated. I guess the term "bright lights, big city" is taken more literally by some cities than it is with others. The way I see it, for the relatively low cost of lighting, you get two skylines (day and night) for the price of one. I also appreciate the lighting of Atlanta - very well done in the way that it highlights the spires and architectural elements; possibly the best in the US. Houston's skyline is, size-wise, without comparison in the south, but its nighttime illumination is so minimal that it disappears at night.As for the Hunt Tower, it would be nicer if it was about 600' taller.

The Great Hizzy! Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Yeah, I like the design of the Hunt Building. I don't care about the lighting and all of that (not for or against) but I like the basic design of the building.And how is Dallas being compared more with Atlanta than Las Vegas a slight? As far as skykline lighting goes, I'd call it a compliment. Vegas lighting seems pretty tacky to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarface Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I like Dallas alot but quite frankly, Dallas is mainly a lightshow at night. I love the way it lights up at night but the character of the city definitely lacks. It's mainly because i don't think Dallas really knows what it wants to be. There's areas that look like New York, Oklahoma, and will soon resemble Colorado (with the wanna- be ski slope addition). If you want character, drive to Fort Worth for some ol' western texas charm. I hate to say it but Dallas mainly feels like a movie set. It has all the infrastructure such as: Subway, Train Stations, Video Screens, and all the flashy stuff but something is missing. The subway is never crowded with loads of people like you find in traditional subways. I don't see the ambience or authenticity that you find in the traditional cities. Dallas has alot of nice areas but the city is becoming too plastic.Dallas folks, don't take offense. I love your city but that is my opinion.

Dallasboi Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 It's the truth. Cry about it somewhere else. Why would we dallasites cry about this?.....This is GREAT!!!!!!!! and I can honestly say that all of the new buildings that come online in Dallas from here on out will have "BAD ASS" lighting schemes.....this is only the begining.Asure will turn heads all the way from north 35E and Northwesthighway.I can't wait!!!!!! > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
713 To 214 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I like the design of the building. I think the lighting scheme(s) at night will serve to make this building a distinguishable part of the Arts District Skyline, and one that visitors/tourists will comment on and remember.
