The city of Dallas provided the tree, DOWNTOWNDALLAS paid for the planting and the Department of Labor and the General Services Administration arranged […]

Over 500 folks came out to Friday’s festivities to open Main Street Garden (MSG as we fondly call it around our offices) and witness the birth of the first true lifestyle park in Downtown Dallas.  Despite the last minuteness, it came together as well as it could considering at 7:30am the great lawn had yet to be sodded […]
