Will GrowSouth Be Enough to Incite Economic Growth in Southern Dallas?
In the wake of Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings’ GrowSouth initiative, there’s no doubt businesspeople are looking harder at opportunities in the city’s southern sector.
On a cold Saturday morning in January, Southwest Center Mall looked much like it has over the past decade. The shopping center’s vast parking lots were mostly empty, as were many of the storefronts inside. Within a few months, even Macy’s, an anchor tenant, would be closing. Like many of the shopping malls that sprouted up across America in the 1970s and 1980s, Southwest Center Mall, which opened under the name Red Bird Mall in 1975 at the intersection of Interstate 20 and U.S. 67, once was a symbol of a promising economic future. But on that morning this past January, there was something eerie about the mall’s emptiness, like a scene out of a 1980s horror film.

Picture this: Restaurateur Phil Romano drives his Bentley SUV down Fabrication Street in West Dallas, where a handful of artists are spray-painting a building with graffiti. That building is owned by Romano and his investment partners, but Romano isn’t there to tell them to leave.

I didn’t have much of a plan when I decided to take my kayak out on the Trinity River near downtown Dallas. I’d done just enough research to ensure that the weather and current were favorable and I’d be finished before five o’clock traffic. Work had been stressful, and I wanted to do something strenuous, fun, and full of wonder. Kayaking the Trinity River felt like my best option.
I’ve lived in Dallas since 2015, and though I’ve always been aware of the Trinity River, I didn’t put much thought into it until last year. I bought a house situated twenty minutes south of downtown Dallas and I cross the river by highway on a weekly basis. A few years ago, I tried to book a kayak trip through the Trinity River Audubon Center for my birthday, but I never went through with it. I regretted my decision every time I caught sight of the glittering water while driving.
