It’s Time to Think Big About the Wall

It looks like that wall along the Mexican border is going to happen after all. That means it’s time for Dallas builders, restaurateurs, and tourist operators to start thinking big—or “huge,” maybe?—about how to turn the wall into something special. Consider the example set by the 5,500-mile-long Great Wall of China, for example. It’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. At the wall’s Badaling section, there are a variety of restaurants and shops. There’s also a Great Wall Museum. And, at the Simatai stretch, thrill seekers can sign up to para-glide off the wall’s edge into the valley, 1,000 feet below. So, let’s put on those thinking caps, people. With a little Texas ingenuity, we can turn our own wall into a visitors’ attraction for the ages, too.
