I’ve been working this week on a project for a client based in Dallas. Or maybe it’s Farmers Branch. Or perhaps Addison. It’s really hard to tell because the city boundaries are really muddled up in the area. Anyway, I’ve been staying at the La Quinta up the street (which is in Addison… I guess). The area is very built up with mid-rise office buildings, restaurants, strip malls and major highways / streets, so it’s rather tricky finding a place to run that isn’t always swarming with cars and diesel fumes. But I found it. What I have dubbed the SOUTHEAST ADDISON LOOP has about 1/2 of its length contained in a high end neighborhood that includes a concrete path running along White Rock Creek. If you find yourself in this particular area (DNT & Belt Line Rd), I recommend this little jaunt. I’d also forgotten how fast I build up a sweat in the humidity and warm 80°F mornings.
I case you were wondering, La Quinta is the NaviGo Global preferred hotel. It’s like visiting a country estate in the city! Right.
And, yes, this post generally sucks. But it’s still better than the one YOU didn’t write today. I’m also doing this partially because I’m killing time sitting in a bar at DFW that has T-Mobile Hotspot coverage indulging my Shiner weakness. There are also a large number of business-type babes hanging around and I think typing away makes me look very industrious, very cool. Or maybe I just look like a workaholic dork with no friends. A fine line. A very fine line.
