What Do Downtown Dallas’ Sidewalks Mean?

An crowd-sourced investigation into the murals scattered around corners all over the CBD.

A few weeks back, a co-worker — who, like me, favors perambulating around the downtown area during her lunch break — posted a photo on Instagram of one of the many geometric murals embedded into the sidewalks around here. She asked if anyone could give her more information about them. As someone who has walked every block in that particular area, I’ve often wondered the same thing and previous googling has only led me — who is really pretty outstanding at googling things — to this Huffington Post piece which actually maybe made me dumber about the subject.

Not knowing has only made me want to know more. I’m frustrated. More so than usual. But no more: today, I’ve decided to open the floor, crowd-source this thing like a modern industry disruptor.

Who designed them? What’s the unifying theory? How long have they been there? Let’s hear some chatter.
