as the weather increases. Spring is not that far away and already I am seeing evidence of buds swelling and even a few green shoots appearing. Usually--and I say that cautiously-- green is showing by March 1 here in North Texas. Baring that old Atmospheric River and the Pineapple Express, right now, we are bouncing back and forth from the mid 70s to the 50s with a 50/50 split on the three or four day of rain followed by an equal amount of sunny and blue skies. Talk about a roller coaster---we climb out of the well to sunshine and then crown the top and on the way day its foggy, gloomy hit and miss rain showers as the short waves move along the sagging jet stream. We've been there before, but it is hard to plan things.
UT Southwester announced yesterday that they will be building on the quadrant to the north and west of the Medical District, a new complex of Children's hospital that will be two 12 story towers with another tower of 8 stories at Mockingbird and Harry Hines Blvd. That would not close the Children's Hospital on the back side of the Old Parkland Hospital. That would put it in the heart of where the new Teaching Hospital was built a few years back and has already undergone an expansion. So, I need to get over that way and shoot the area where the "best Children's Hospital" in the nation will be built. The project is not planned to be operational for about 6-years.
Things like that take planning ahead and being at the right place at the right te. With the St. Patrick's Day parade hitting the streets March 16th as the 43rd Dallas Mavs St. Patrick Day Parade at 11 a.m. down Greenville Avenue. Levels are back to pre-Covid levels of 100.000 in attendance.
