Dallas: The Can't Do City (Epilogue)

Unfair Park has a great item on how the Andres Brothers decided to withdraw there plans to redevelop the old Carnival on Henderson. The key quote from one of the brothers:

"If you could pick one company in the world to get something done in East Dallas with a cool $12-million building, it'd be Whole Foods. And when that loses, we both said, 'It's over.'

This is a huge disappointment for me personally (the current contender for Wally's is just a few blocks down from there) and for me as a citizen of Dallas. But it seems that no matter how tasty a bowl a soup a developer wants to bring to East Dallas, some douchenozzle will drop a deuce in that same bowl.
