the dallas economy

i reached the end of the internet today in regard to BCS/bowl game projections and sooner-football-talk. so, i decided to read up on something relevant to my actual job. to my own disbelief, i actually found some really interesting information.

for those of you that have read the blog for a while, you may remember a post i put up about my "walk score," which is a measure of the walkability of your community. apparently that very thing is becoming more relevant in the current economy. and apparently jay and i aren't the only folks who felt the 'burbs weren't for us (yay for the m-streets!). it seems that in dire straights, it's predicted that the suburbs would actually become the ghettos, and downtown areas would be the most vibrant areas...maybe this downturn will actually make our downtown dallas blossom to it's full potential. well, that and the giant park over woodall rogers...
