Since we have acquired our new dining room table, the Architect and I are selling our retro 50s dinette table.
We have it up for sale on Craigslist here.
Update: The dinette has been sold.
We are also selling our Charles Pfister-style sofa and club chairs. I hate to see these go, but we just don't have room for them anymore due to new acquisitions over the holidays.
The sofa and club chairs are also on Craigslist here.

Weekend Plans
1. Saturday get dolled up, put on your best mask and head to the Mardi Gras masquerade ball benefitting the Red Cross. Details here.
2. The Home Depot Expo near the Galleria is closing. If you have some home renovation needs now or in the future and want some high end stuff, you might be able to pick up a few deals. I will be looking for stainless steel apron front sinks, commercial style kitchen faucets and wine fridges.
3. Sunday grab your bike and go on a bike tour where you will retrace the last steps of Lee Harvey Oswald and get a workout while doing it. End with drinks in the Cliff.

Miscellaneous Ramblings
Things seen and heard recently:
1. The demise of Domino magazine. March is the last month it will be in print. A bit of a shame. It always had nice ideas and some darn good recipes as well.
2. KERA 90.1's Think show was all about community, culture, and urban design. From the website: "Can landscape architecture and urban design create public spaces that meet the needs of a diverse population? We'll explore the possibilities this hour with Karen Walz, Project Manager for Vision North Texas and Don Gatzke, Dean of UTA's School of Architecture." Listen to the podcast here.
3. Did anyone see Fringe last night and notice the music playing at the end of the show? That would be Denton's own Midlake and the song playing was "Bandits" off the album The Trials of Van Occupanther.
4. Re:Vision Dallas has their competition info up here. Fame and fortune could be yours if your project is selected. Hop to it my architecture friends - you know who you are. Submissions are due April 30, 2009. So if you end up on April 15th having to pay the tax man, this could be a way to do it.

Woodall Rodgers Park
Way back when in 2006 the City of Dallas decided to put a park on top of Woodall Rodgers as a way to connect Downtown Dallas with Victory Park and Uptown.
According to D Magazine's Frontburner and the park's website, utility construction has just begun. You probably won't notice much in the coming months, but hey it is progress! I think the park will be a great addition to downtown and with all the brand spanking new buildings going up in the arts district, it is just one more reason to to live and work inside the bubble! Target date for park completion is 2011.
See pictures and all sorts of architect-ury stuff here.
