I don't know if folks such as these are gonna save us or not. What I know at the moment is that the Good-Latimer tunnel is going to be torn down to be replaced by a DART station. It's tempting to find symbolism in the change, and maybe it would be accurate to interpret it that way: you know, the final metaphor for the end of an era, that kind of thing. But I prefer to look at it as a different sort of portal. From a DART station, you have a lot more options about where you want to go, which direction to take, whether you want to venture into Deep Ellum or start anew somewhere else. And from a DART station you can always go back to where you began. You just have to decide if you want to.
