Giant Hotel and Convention Center Coming to Arlington. The contract went to Loews, the same people who did Texas Live! across the street. The hotel will end up twice the size of the Live! hotel.

It’s unclear to me from the DMN’s story whether any of the Live! branding will follow these new projects, but if so, there will surely be more jokes. Before that happens, I just want to say here, in all earnestness, that exclamation points in branding are very dumb.
Today Will Be Real Nice. Cold in the morning, but warming up to 58 and sunny. Nothing wrong with that.
