Hey Dallas/Fort Worth DU'ers... PLEASE HELP

[arwalden]

Last week when my evening flight approached DFW, I spotted a large building that had its corners "outlined" with blue/violet neon lights. There appeared to be a couple of rotating high-beam miniature spotlights as well.

It was an impressive sight as we came in for out landing. Very pretty... but I'm still wondering WHAT IS IT? A nightclub? A car dealer? A restaurant?

1. if it is the building i'm thinking of...

it's just some office building in downtown dallas...i'll see if i can find a jpg.

3. That's not the one...

Thanks... but that's not the one. The one that I saw looked like I big warehouse box. Maybe two stories tall.

8. Oh nevermind

Who knows, we got so much shit around here, LOL!

6. Oh, right by DFW?

That area is a major warehousing/officing area. Could be anything.

10. Yep... very close to DFW itself... it did look like a warehouse style bldg

but it just seemed too festive to be just ANY plain old warehouse. I figured it must be SOMETHING special that I'd want to see the next time I'm in Dallas.

7. You sure it was in Dallas?

As you are flying into DFW, which is situated between Dallas and Ft. Worth, you have to be sure of your orientation (or familiar with the skylines) to know which city you are looking at.

Here's a so-so pic of the Ft. Worth skyline at night:



And here's Dallas:



But who knows? It could have been in Grapevine or elsewhere.

9. Arwalden, were you landing to the south (over lakes)? Or to the north?

That makes a difference (maybe). BTW: Sirius, the protest dog, says "hi." We are totally in the NC mountains now. Sold the Dallas house on 2/16 and moved out on 4/28.
