I know people like to proclaim that every place you listed is "hip", but guess what? They aren't.

Paseo is the only one that comes close, but you've got to deal with the aforementioned middle-aged people trying to recapture their youth. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that, but don't expect a huge youth turnout there.

You know what's Hip? Silver Stallion in Mustang, or 66 Bowl(especially when there's live music and visitors from other countries). These forcibly "hip" places, particularily in BT, "SoSa"(it's midtown, stop making up stupid names, this is a perfect example of forcibly hip), and the Arts District are not even remotely "hip".

If the staggering amount of areas you listed as "hip" truly were, then there simply wouldn't be a problem.

And while I'm sure the "Mass Transit" will cause these areas to grow a bit, I doubt it will "explode". Like I said earlier, nobody I work with, live near or hang out with gives a crap about the trolley system. It isn't going to make any of us move downtown, and will more than likely keep us away from downtown since it's going to take up a lane of traffic in an already congested area.
Do you realize that Mass Transit is proven to reduce traffic congestion? That's the point of it. It doesn't increase traffic. It gives a reason NOT to have to drive to heavy traffic areas, but to park or walk from elsewhere and then take the mass transit into congested areas.

For one thing I never said we go to Dallas to drink in parks. We go to Dallas because the clubs are more fun and it's generally cheaper than BT in the long run, not counting gas to get down there.

A pure sports bar would be awesome. I can't figure out why nobody's opened one in BT. I know Daiquiri Zone was a sports bar, but the name and the sorta pretentiousness about it didn't really appeal.
Have you tried Brix that replaced Daiquiri Zone?
