Developments in the Downtown Area
I'm REALLY excited about this project's potential. I hope they're able to make it all work...

Arlington council to weigh plans for new park

A band shell, green space, wireless Internet access and trees are part of the City Council's vision for a park planned for across the street from City Hall on the site of the former TXU building.
The council is set to discuss the park during a work session Tuesday.
"We need an area for downtown people to have a respite," Councilwoman Lana Wolff said, "but also a gathering place. It could also be a centerpiece for Christmas and Fourth of July parades."
Some council members have been talking to the Mortimer Levitt Foundation, which could provide part of the money for the band shell.
Certain conditions would have to be met, such as offering at least 50 free concerts a year.
Councilman Steve McCollum said the band shell would be key for the park and could help stimulate downtown redevelopment, one of the council's top priorities.
"Not just the park alone, but the plaza and a Levitt band shell is the catalyst that all together makes it all credible," he said.

This is GREAT!
In the video below, the seniors are performing a cover version of The Who's hit, "My Generation." The lead singer is 90 years old, but other group members are even older, edging toward 100. The band came together thanks to Tim Samuels -- a documentary filmmaker -- who claims that "this is about old people sticking it back to the society that has cast them aside."

Star Trek Memory Wall
Last night, I watched (after downloading from BitTorret) an episode of the UK version of "The Weakest Link" that featured most of the cast from the new Doctor Who. One of the questions was about "Star Trekkin'", a parody song that topped the UK charts in 1978.
You can hear that DELIGHTFUL song in the soundtrack at the top of this page, but more important is the "Memory Wall" that the web page's creator has set up. Everyone they've found that worked on Star Trek and have died gets a little plaque with interesting facts. It's interesting to see the amount of time they put into it, that's for sure...
