Dallas, Texas, is getting its own “Times Square,” as construction begins on the city’s Victory Plaza, to be located in the heart of the city and bordered by two five-story buildings housing high-end retail shops on the ground floor, reports Austin, Texas ABC affiliate, KVUE.
The new plaza will also serve as an outdoor media venue complete with eleven giant high-def screens, eight of which will move side-to-side playing movie trailers, newscasts, NBA games, and more.
