Much has been written about how the construction of this highway in particular destroyed a storied neighborhood south of downtown Dallas. But that pile of rubble in the middle of this screenshot is a recent change. Before said neighborhood decimation, it was a temple. Then a bunch of apartments for mostly artists. I got a tour during my very first visit to this city in 2003. That pile of rubble is symbolic of the potential I've seen squandered again and again over the last 20 years.
