greenville

maybe somewhat cowardly i have chosen a site to apply my further investigations and utopian visions on. i believe i have made it easier for myself than i first meant to do, but changing the world must begin in a small scale. the neighborhood of Lower Greenville is something as uncommon as a residential area with a lively nightlife and a few shops.

the mixed use that i have promoted so far is implemented in a small scale here. services are very close to housing in some cases and the area is popular and somewhat gentrified.

Greenville Avenue cuts through a sea of houses in east dallas, and has several areas of shops and restaurants clustered among it. it used to be the major route north from dallas and is still an important artery through the semi-suburbs of north-east dallas.
