Review: Was Wyland's whale mural great art? No. But it's still a loss for Dallas
"Setting aside the question of public monuments, downtown Dallas sadly missed out on the vernacular architecture that makes it a pleasure to walk in New Orleans’ French Quarter or New York’s SoHo. In an environment with few delights for the eye, the whales were all the more welcome. Beauty downtown is scarce and can’t afford to be squandered.
To be sure, Wyland’s legacy lives on in many other cities. Dallas will move on. But wouldn’t it be nice if the reaction to this loss made an impression on the next generation of developers and planners?"
... Do we think DMN has received a call to stop hammering FIFA every other day?
