RESIDENTS BRING PARK(ING) DAY TO DALLAS TOMORROW SEPTEMBER 16TH

PARK(ing) Day is an annual event where citizens, organizations, and businesses temporarily transform metered parking spaces into short term public “PARK” installations. Rather than parking a car, the metered space is used to promote human use and activity for downtown employees, residents and visitors.

On Friday, September 16, 2011 Dallas will host its inaugural PARK(ing) Day event to take place during the hours of 11am to 7pm…. More than 40 metered parking spots along Main Street from Downtown Dallas to Deep Ellum will be transformed into temporary public spaces. The driving force behind this international movement is to not only to have a fun event, but also to portray the need and desire for public space in downtown areas such as Dallas.

Deep Dallas has signed on to head up the Entertainment Committee for PARK(ing) Day Dallas. We plan to organize over 30 local musicians, poets and performers to provide entertainment throughout the day.

If you are a musician, performer and/or poet who would like to volunteer to play the event please contact Jessica Martinez at jessica@deepdallas.com for booking. Considering this is Dallas’ first PARK(ing) Day event we anticipate lots of media coverage.

Third Rail Lofts Welcomes Unique Florist to Downtown Dallas!

Third Rail Lofts would like to welcome “Dirt” to Downtown Dallas located right here at 1517 Main Street Dallas, TX!  A few of us from Third Rail Lofts visited the Bishops Art District during the Bastille Festival last year and made a stop in “Dirt” and someone mentioned how cool it would be to have this unique florist in Downtown Dallas and here they are!  We are so lucky!  They are definitely setting a trend with floral arrangments with their unique use of vintage tins as vases and other clever ideas!  Let’s help support this local Downtown Dallas Business!   Who needs fresh flowers for their Loft!  I do!  Visit their website for more information:  www.dirtflowers.com

Living Downtown: What does it mean?

LIFE!  Whether it’s 6am, noon, 5pm, or even 2 o’clock in the morning, there is always life around you.  It happens regardless of your mood or emotion… and it’s REAL!  All around you are the sounds of the City, twisted and meshed together to create a beautiful harmony called: LIFE.  This is why I live Downtown and call Third Rail Lofts home.
