The adventure at The Dallas World Aquarium begins at the top of the rainforest exhibit, where exotic birds, such as Cocks-of-the-rock and many species of toucans, can be seen. Lounging around are Two-toed and Three-toed sloths.

The new, world-class, adrenaline-rushing, mind-blowing, cooler-than-cool Perot Museum of Nature and Science is now open... right here in Dallas. Our roots date back to 1936, with the opening of the Dallas Museum of Natural History in historic Fair Park, which would later merge with the Science Place and the Dallas Children’s Museum in 2006 to create the Museum of Nature & Science. The Museum of Nature & Science in Fair Park which houses our historical wildlife dioramas and active paleontology lab will remain a part of the Perot Museum, giving visitors the chance to see not only our new Museum in Victory Park but also our historic Museum in Fair Park.

In 1977, the Colonel's granddaughter, Helen Belo Morrison, agreed to sell the property to the Dallas Bar Association. She had been born in the house in 1902 and felt the Bar's plan to restore the home as the Dallas Legal Education Center was in accordance with family principles and feelings. The Dallas Bar Association connected the historic home and the chapel with an expansive, glass-roofed atrium. In 2003, The Dallas Bar Association victoriously concluded its capital campaign which resulted in the addition of the exquisite Pavilion. Once again, the past was linked to the present and future through innovative design and distinctive architecture.
Behind the stately limestone porticos, glimmering shop windows and twinkling marquees that line Main Street, you’ll find the neighborhood’s original foundation matches its opulent façade. Downtown Dallas isn’t just a trendy modern hub—these streets are deeply rooted in sophisticated style and theatrical entertainment. Back in the day, theatre and fashion not only went hand in hand here, but gave the neighborhood a glow that rivaled the glamour of Broadway. Streamlined railways and streetcars ushered in legendary performers, silver screen stars and the audiences who came to see them. Magnificent theatres sat alongside opulent opera houses. Tailoring all of it to the stylish tastes of the times was the landmark Titche-Goettinger department store. By setting up shop in the middle of the social hub of the city, Edward Titche and Max Goettinger quickly made a name for themselves while keeping pace with the budding Vaudeville acts that stole the headlines. Built on the former site of the Dallas Opera House, their new flagship store was perfectly situated for eager fashionistas flocking to downtown from surrounding suburbs to shop the rousing scene. With a three-ton neon sign on Elm Street, an imaginative refrigerated fur coat vault and an unheard-of price tag of $2.5 million, Titche-Goettinger’s seven-story spectacle spared no expense on state-of-the-art technology. The store was a showpiece of modern design and Art Deco decor, with fixtures of brass and white milk glass, terrazzo floors and diagonal corner windows that caught the eyes of all who strolled by. Inside, shoppers were met with an impressive six floors of merchandise tailored to fit almost any need, from wigs and furs on the second floor to an after-shopping snack in the Tea Room. So, whether guests were looking for a head-to-toe look for the opera that night or wanted an updated ‘do from the in-store beauty salon, Titche-Goettinger had it all… Right down to the finishing touches. Above each display window on the exterior are symbols representing various retail trades. At its St. Paul entrance, inlaid medallions of cotton and wheat signify the two core crops of Texas. At its Elm Street entrance, timber and manufacturing; and, at the Main Street entrance, cattle and oil. Color-changing nightlight sconces added a “big city” feel to the town’s growing skyline—that nowadays fits right in with downtown’s glowing landscape. A few blocks down, flickering marquee lights and the sounds of Wurlitzers used to fill the streets as The Melba, Tower, Palace, Rialto Capitol, Fox and Strand overflowed with audiences in their latest Nardis fashions each night. Although grandest of all on Theatre Row was the Majestic—the only one standing today. Its baroque Corinthian columns, egg-and-dart molding, crystal chandeliers, marble fountain, black and white marble floors and twin marble staircases complete what is a lasting and illustrious monument to Vaudeville. So, you see, between the marvelous shopping meccas and distinguished downtown stages, the groundwork was paved long ago for Dallas to shine as a fashion capital and grand statement of style, one still standing tall in a spotlight all its own.

We broke the accelerator model -- Launched in 2009, Tech Wildcatters established itself as one of the first 15 accelerators in the world and fast became a leading, nationally-ranked accelerator by Forbes in 2012 and Inc. Magazine in 2015. By the end of 2015, we’d invested in 72 startups, helped create more than 450 jobs and saw four exits. The market had also become extremely saturated, with an estimated 7,500 accelerators around the world with varying expertise, interests and quality standards. As one of the longest running accelerators in the world, we’ve had the unique opportunity to obtain firsthand wisdom on what works (and what doesn’t) within an accelerator. We carry with us the knowledge on founders who make it, those who don’t, we have lessons learned, endless amounts of historical data and a peek inside the vision of those who mentor alongside us. With that information in hand, we saw the need to initiate change within our market and fix the areas we know are not beneficial for our investors and are especially not beneficial for our startups. And in 2016, we broke our own model and introduced The Gauntlet. We are now the first accelerator in the world to unveil what we believe the new accelerator should be — a genuinely smart decision for the startups who enter and the investors who buy in. We are now purely fueled by a 5-tier system infused with data, milestones and most importantly, ambition. Follow us on Twitter: @techwildcatters

211 North Ervay is a high rise located at 211 North Ervay Street in the City Center District of Dallas, Texas, United States. The building rises 250 feet (132 meters) and contains 20 floors of office space. The colorful building of modernist design is situated on a prominent city corner and adjacent to Thanks-Giving Square.History211 North Ervay was designed by architects Hedrick & Stanley for developer Leo Corrigan as his fourth major downtown office building . The tower was built on a slim corner lot, 50ft in width and 200ft long, and replaced early commercial structures. Adjacent to the structure was the Palace Theater, one of many on Elm Street's historic Theater Row.The building's facade was covered with continuous glass windows along with alternating azure and aquamarine porcelain spandrels. The colorful design was a popular way to add color to otherwise bland urban skylines of the mid-twentieth century. The ground floor, containing the main entrance on Ervay, was covered in granite and recessed to provide extra sidewalk width for street level retail space; the second floor was covered in mosaics. Opened in 1958 as a general office building, it was popular with insurance companies, law firms, and aviation-related companies.The building was sold in 1971 and 1977; the second sale resulted in a complete remodeling of the lobby, elevators and changes in the exterior facade of the first two levels. Over successive years occupancy rates slowly declined as modern skyscrapers such as 1700 Pacific, Thanksgiving Tower and Comerica Bank Tower surrounded the building. The building was sold again in 1986, and by 1995 it was completely vacant. Labeled an eyesore, in 2004 Dallas Mayor Laura Miller campaigned to have the building demolished for a downtown park. In response, Preservation Dallas included the building in its inaugural list of Dallas’ Most Endangered Historic Places, citing its importance in the National Register's Dallas Downtown Historic District and an example of the vanishing "cool blue" architecture of the 1950s.
