Ron Kirk, I Need Your Help
Just finished reading Ron Kirk’s op-ed letter to Laura Miller in today’s paper about what a great success the Victory development — spurred by the AAC — has been. But one sentence toward the end made me stumble:
I sincerely hope that you are as proud of what we accomplished working together in building a new and vibrant urban center for our great city.
As proud as what? The previous sentence didn’t mention any pride that we could compare ours to. So what’s missing? Ron Kirk, did the DM editors mess this one up? “I sincerely hope that you are as proud as I am of what we accomplished …” ? “I sincerely hope that you are as proud of what we accomplished working together in building a new and vibrant urban center for our great city as you are proud of your mustache” ?
Help?

Gosh, it’s like you’re an editor or something.
Dude, it’s an implied I am . . . good lord, did you get the decaf latte this morning?
Is it truly a success when all the retailers are subsidized so to speak. As an example J Lindeberg would have never chosen Victory Park as a location until Hillwood came in and bought the Texas rights to the store. You can also see that the liquor sales seem to be declining for Nine and Nove. That is not a good sign.
Next thing you know, FrontBurner will be documenting every dangling modifier in the DMN.
Its not a success when you are giving retail leases one year free rent.
As proud as you are of sending the Cowboys to Arlington?
