He was waiting impatiently for the elevator at the street level lobby. The man couldn’t restrain a smile. Time is money, but sometimes it takes some time to get the dollars rolling.
He was blessed with the kind of industrial client most automation specialists dream about: a energy utility company addicted to the search for better automation solutions.
Up we go! He stepped out at the sixty-ninth floor. The elevator doors closed behind him, and a minute later he entered the domains of the Regional Energy Corporation.
Eleven years ago almost to the day, he got involved in the Digital Villages development. Now, some influential people in Dallas wanted to know more about his newest venture.

No hard feelings, innovative concepts are always difficult to grasp and understand. Now, this part of the evolution is nostalgic history.
He was visiting the new continent to make money.
The receptionist picked up her phone. Their meeting had been confirmed. Twenty thousand lawyers in Dallas and now he was pretty close to strike a major deal with this one. Great!

The Main Street District of downtown Dallas, Texas (USA) runs along Main Street and is bounded by Lamar Street, Elm Street,the US 75/I-45 (I-345) elevated highway and Commerce Street. The district is the spine of downtown Dallas, and connects many of the adjoining business and entertainment districts.
