A few weeks back, we included the just released Architectural drawing of the new ILUME under construction on Cedar Springs.

 

This week, DallasNews.com had an indepth article on the site. 

 

The News is reporting:
"The five-story complex - already under construction - would be at home in West Hollywood or Miami's South Beach.

 

More than 300 apartments and 23,000 square feet of retail space will be in the building, which sits on the former site of a Tom Thumb supermarket."

Lone Star Ride is a two-day cycling adventure through scenic country roads and two great Texas cities. We start out Saturday, September 27, in "Big D" and ride west through rolling countryside to Glen Rose, Texas. Sunday we rise early for the shorter final leg into Fort Worth. Our goal is to raise money to fight AIDS and support those affected by HIV/AIDS. For both riders and crewmembers, it's a great way to meet new friends and have a lot of fun while supporting a serious cause. With hilarious pit stops, an evening party and live entertainment, it's an unforgettable cycling experience.
