A small whole food or organic market would be a great fit for the area.

The artist commissioned is Art Garcia. There's a blurb on the project in our website at www.dallasculture.org/currentProject.asp (scroll down halfway through the page).

Last week, before Thanksgiving and before it turned cold, my wife and I decided to stretch our anniversary celebration over 2 separate evenings and had dinner each night at a different restaurant in the very heart of Bishop Arts. Both times it was a virtual ghost town, and while we lingered casually through each meal, there were never more than 2 other tables occupied. In fact, most of the time there was only one other. The first night we walked around the area and never crossed paths with another soul. We love having it so close, but next time we'll have to stop and think about whether it's the weekend or not before we go there. It reminds me of the last time I visited Victory Park, a different scale for sure, but the point remains about putting all your eggs in one basket. “Sustainability” is the right word, Joan, and the vision for Bishop Arts may not live past the difficult lessons learned by other urban districts.

But since that office was swallowed into the library, maybe the project has been cut? I do know, because I was contacted about the project, that as much as two and half years ago they were forming a committee to consider options for the space. No clue as to what happened to the plans.
