Dallas Ferris Wheel

Today's paper tells me that the city of Dallas is considering allowing a Ferris wheel - excuse me "an observation wheel" - to be erected downtown.  Smack dab on Founder's Square next to the county courthouse Old Red.

I must admit I blinked.

But why not?  Really?  If London can have its Eye in sight of the historic Houses of Parliament, why on earth can't Dallas handle one near our courthouse?

Because it's not stuffy?

We desperately need to de-stuffy Dallas.  Let's do it!
