Karl Zavitkovsky, the director of the city's Office of Economic Development, and Ted Hamilton, vice president of Hamilton Properties Corporation, will talk about "Combining Public Dollars With Private Real Estate Development—Can It Be A Win Win?" Seems to me they shoulda invited Don Williams too or Walt Humann; maybe they did. Hamilton's company is responsible for many of the downtown rehabs, among them the Dallas Power & Light Building, the Davis Building and the Union Tower Complex on Thanks-Giving Square. Hamilton and Zavitkovsky will probably talk about why downtown is swell. People in Frisco will take their words for it. Also during the earlier morning session, Daniel L. Jeakins, a principal at HKS Inc., which has designed most of the city (more or less, sure seems like it), will offer "A Bird's Eye Video Perspective of the 'Downtown Dallas of the Future.'" The event, which takes place at the Hilton Dallas Lincoln Centre at 5410 LBJ Freeway, is $55 for non-chamber members; you can sign up here (oh, lookie, a September 29 breakfast with the mayor). See you there--I will be the guy not wearing a tie. --Robert Wilonsky
