[edit] About
Main Street has historically been the center of the city of Dallas.
Main Street was the first area to really pick up steam within downtown Dallas in terms of urban revival; plenty of grand historic buildings that had been neglected were available for conversion and renovation. Main Street's main feature is Pegasus Plaza, an urban enclave bounded by the Magnolia Hotel, the Iron Cactus Restaurant, obar, Jeroboam Restaurant, and The Kirby Building.
