Dale Earnhardt jr. jr. at the Loft 5.10.13

Posted by    |    May 9th, 2013 at 8:38 pm

Dale-Earnhardt-Jr-JrThis Friday, Dallas welcomes the Detroit indie duo Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. to the Loft at Gilley’s Dallas, and let’s give them a warm Texas welcome  shall we? They deserve it for making some fun tracks that will fit perfectly with the summer time fun that’s on its way. Their new track If you didn’t see me (You weren’t on the dance floor) should definitely be on one if not all your your summer playlists this year. It’s a fun, breezy tune with a good beat and a little bit of sass that elicits images of nights spent workin’ up a sweat under rainbow lights.

The rest of the songs on their new EP, entitled Patterns, follow a similar sound with a couple that are a little slower and emotional but none that come off as too heavy for a warm nights spent dancing with friends

The Beat – the trendy loft tower in the heart of South Side

Posted by    |    March 18th, 2013 at 8:50 pm

the beat south side dallas

When The Beat first opened in 2007, South Side Dallas looked a little different than it does today. A sketch of what the area might look included a boutique hotel across the street (the NYLO), a new police headquarters next door, and a luxury hotel (the Omni) connected to the convention center down the road. Those vague drawings have since become a reality, and there’s more to come.

This is what sets The Beat apart from so many other loft apartment towers in Dallas. That, competitive prices, and unbelievable views of downtown Dallas. For those who are still skeptic of South Side, Jack Matthews’ developments in the area should certainly set minds at ease.
