WAR OF WORDS: On Sunday, John Eagle and Deedie Rose took to the DMN’s editorial page to take Museum Tower to task over the glare it’s casting on the Nasher Sculpture Center. “Museum Tower leaders’ suggestion that the Nasher redesign its building would be as if new neighbors built a house where the gutters overflowed onto your property and flooded it, making your home unusable. Then they tell you that you need to fix your drainage to accommodate the flooding that they have created,” they write before pushing for the louver solution. And for a nice primer on the whole backstory and where we are now, check out SMU professor Willard Spiegelman’s piece in The Wall Street Journal.
