Dallas breaks ground on Audubon facility in former landfill

— Stories like this -- about a bunch of city officials presiding over the opening of a bird sanctuary -- are like candy to a baby (the baby being the DMN). They all gathered for a ground-breaking of the Trinity River Audubon Center, off Loop 12 on the grounds of what was once an illegal landfill.

The story has quotes from any official that was within a 10-mile radius including one from a guy with the park and recreation facility-development division who claims that birds and such are "beginning to come back in droves". The park department added nine artificial lakes to drain anything "not suitable for the river".

The center got $1 million from the Meadows Foundation for design and programming, and is scheduled to open in 2008.
