I am going to start writing about some things around Dallas to get everyone kind of Familiarized with the Area. I wrote this Thread a few years ago and will get more into all of the different things around the City over time.

I'm going to start with the Tunnels and Sky Bridges now though, and do a few posts so everyone can see the different areas.

The Tunnels kind of have 2 ends, 1 at the Crystal Court Pyramid Tunnel, most well known for the Chic-Fil-a

The other is Fountain Place

The best way to Describe these Tunnels and Bridges would kind of be Service Entrances, most of it is connected to Parking Garages, Kitchens, etc. And the various Sky Bridges were at one point used to transport Materials during Construction, and then we're made into Sky Bridges for Aesthetics later. There is basically a way to get from Fountain Place to Renaissance Tower and the Pyramid, without going outside except to cross the street a few times, and you have to go a long roundabout way. Then at Thanksgiving Square there is an Entrance, and at the Mosaic, but the Door to Ross Tower from the Mosaic seems to be permanently locked.

I will start showing everyone where all of this is in pictures, and get more into the DART Stations, and a few different Buildings, the Graveyard, etc. There are also Tunnels from the Jail to the Courthouse, and Sky Bridges connecting Hospitals, etc. And I'll start covering some different locations in Dallas. Because even most people that live in DFW don't know a lot about Dallas, and a few posts will be about Social Services and everything because there are a lot of problems in Dallas. There are probably more people around Dallas searching for Food Stamp information than most Restaurants, and we'll be covering everything in a Blog type fashion as this is a Blog.

As we do this we will be creating the Currencies for Dallas and start onboarding people in Dallas to BLURT, some learning things about Dallas for the first time here (most people don't know about the Tunnels). This will in turn become a mechanism of income for people around Dallas as they learn and teach things about the area, or just about what they know, or share their Art, Music, etc. And eventually there will be Businesses coming on here to be found, as part of the Dallas Culture on BLURT.

But now, everyone knows about the Tunnels.
