Downtown Dallas "Y" To Be Re-Christened For Financier T. Boone Pickens
Dallas financier T. Boone Pickens and his foundation wrote out checks worth five-million dollars to refurbish the downtown YMCA near Akard and Ross. So, today, the Y will hold a ceremony to recognize Pickens and re-name the building in his honor. The money has paid for everything from updated locker-rooms and parking garage to new basketball and racquetball courts. Today's ribbon-cutting is part of a renaissance along the northern rim of downtown Dallas. Just in the past month, the new A-T-and-T Performing Arts Center opened, First Baptist Church announced a 130-million dollar expansion, Southwestern Cuisine pioneer Stephan Pyles opened his new restaurant and work began on the new deck park that will span Woodall Rodgers Freeway.
