The N. Period

Many lament the loss of the great Dallas landmark that was the Good Latimer Tunnel. Some exceptional art that was truly representative of the region met its demise to make way for progress in the form of the DART Rail. These shots of the mural-to-be are from Saturday July 25, 2009. Look forward to this weekend, when it looks like the finished product will be ready for the public.

In case you haven't heard, the legendary Dallas venue is set to re-open in about a month. Trees has played host to epic performances from the likes of Nirvana and Beck and with the DART Rail coming to Deep Ellum soon we can only hope the neighborhood will once again thrive. Check out this slide show of the inside of the venue under construction.
