Rain Camp Dallas 2011 took place in The Tower at City Place. The Tower at City Place is the building that Southland Corporation built in the 1980s to be their corporate headquarters. Southland is the parent company for the 7-11 stores . Southland got its start in an icehouse in Oak Cliff in the 1920s. They aren't in the Tower at City Place building any more, but the building has a very interesting history, especially for people who care about real estate. What makes the building interesting is what isn't there. The plan was to build two towers, one on each side of Central Expressway. Southland got permission to have a skybridge, going over the highway, something that is practically impossible to get done. For a really interesting article on the building, see http://en.wikipedia.or...
