Renegade Bus



There are so many long-held (and generally totally inaccurate) stereotypes about Dallas -- you've hear them, no? Cowboys, big hair, lack of culture... So anytime something comes along that is (I belive) the true embodiment of the my city, I want to shout from the rooftops.

There's our incredible new opera house -- gorgeous and built with an enormous solar roof, our progressive recycling program (we can just throw everything in a giant blue garbage can that the city provides each household…no sorting necessary), and most recently an incredibly smart, sophisticated new arts and culture site for the city called Renegade Bus.

Honestly I’m most excited about that last one, as I think it really busts through the stereotypes and is a true representation of the vibrant, interesting people that inhabit Dallas.

Oh and they asked me to write a piece… Take a peek!
