TechSpot: An abandoned IBM campus became a TikTok sensation, now it’s a magnet for trespassers. “The former IBM campus in Somers, New York, is drawing attention again, but not for any new development plans. Instead, the long-vacant property has become a frequent target for trespassers, many of them drawn in by videos circulating on social media.”

Downtown Dallas is not dying, despite Mavs, Stars departures 🌇
Reckless plan to abandon City Hall would be a disaster.
With a glut of vacant office space already, the idea of creating even more by abandoning City Hall makes no sense.
Until Dallas builds for people, & not for cars, downtown will forever be troubled. Make downtown an appealing environment, & people & business will follow.

I.M. Pei's Daughter Fights to Save Dallas City Hall
“It really rubs architects the wrong way, because what architect is going to want to ever build anything in a city that considers everything disposable after 25, 50 years?” she asks. “What great architects are going to want to build in Dallas?”

"What would the responses have been like for the other set of questions? We created a survey using them. It uses the same language as the draft questions, with a few changes to account for technological limitations and to ascertain the council districts of those responding. You can take it here."
"The Dallas City Council will receive a first phase of briefings about City Hall tomorrow."

Is Dallas City Hall Plaza protected park land? That question may lead to a legal battle
“City Hall Plaza is not a commercial real estate commodity. It is a voter-funded public park & the preeminent public square for community assembly in Dallas.”
Texas Local Government Code 253.001(b): Prohibits the sale of any public square or park unless approved by a majority of Dallas voters at an election.

I.M. Pei on City Hall and preservation.
"I am unhappy about the fact that our society seems to be much more inclined to build something for a short time and then tear them down. I think this self-disposable society of ours is not conducive to doing good architecture, and this I am unhappy about. Why is Paris so beautiful? Because the buildings were well-built, were built to last. That’s the difference. And we don’t, and this I regret.”

Dallas Built City Hall After a Dark Chapter — Don't Erase That History
"[W]e stepped out onto the plaza and the whole vision unfolded: a public gathering space for “we the people.”

Here's what Dallas residents have to say about their City Hall
Ahead of a Dallas City Council vote on the direction of City Hall, residents are speaking up about their opinions over the future of the building.

Downtown Dallas To Get a Hi-Fi Listening Lounge Called Shyboy "The Sound That Makes You Feel"
Based on Japanese 'kissas,' the lounge beneath the Drakestone Apartments is designed for audiophiles.
“People want little record shops,. They want curation, and they want super niche [selections]. That’s, I think, what people really dig.”

Mark Lamster says don't tear down City Hall - D Magazine
"In general, it’s saddening how feckless this city is when it comes to maintaining the buildings and spaces that it owns. Specifically on this City Hall thing, I think it’s great that the News publishes a strong voice like Lamster’s, a middle finger in its own face. It serves the city well."
