Stephen Hough Can’t Find Anything to Buy in Downtown Dallas
Stephen Hough writes for London’s Telegraph. He’s kind of a big deal. He’s visiting our fair burg to hear the DSO. An alert FBvian points us to the following dispatch. Here’s what Hough has to say about Dallas so far:
There are many wonderful things about this city, not least the DSO and their acoustically miraculous home, the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, but downtown shopping is not one of the highlights of a visit here. I walked for several blocks with only the ghosts of former stores in evidence until, finally … there was something to buy across the street.
Check out what he found to buy.
Correction: Yes, Hough will hear the DSO. But he’ll also perform with the orchestra. Says Stacie Adams, PR maven for the symphony:
We won the Grammophone award for our recording with Stephen in 2005. He is amazing. And he is performing the same piece, my all time fave, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini by Rachmaninoff, tonight and through the weekend.

Uh, Tim – Stephen Hough may blog for the Telegraph but I think he plays the piano also.
A PERFORMANCE NOT TO MISS! British pianist Stephen Hough returns to Dallas to reprise his Gramophone Award winning performance of Rachmaninoff’s memorable Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Jaap van Zweden conducts.

Glad to know our tranny store has been discovered by the international press.
Luck Man! He got the sneak of the Neiman Marcus’ Christmas Display!
Interesting site, Front Burner. Hmmm…
Never suspected there was anything worth conversing in Dallas; but now I know there’s a tranny store.
Hmmm…
i only go downtown to get stabbed.
I told him first
isn’t this supposed to start an argument over how we need more retail downtown?
I’m dissappointed in you all.
The blocks surrounding the arts district are complete ghost towns as far as activity goes. This is not good when you have so much international attention like this.
The closest action lies across woodall rogers about a half mile up mckinney…unless you consider the west end to be significant.
This is a good evidence why there needs to be a North/South corridor of activity to connect Arts District to Main Street & DART.
Looks as if he found a window display worthy of Grace Brothers.
