This week on Roads, Rails, & Rides host Jeb Morris sits down with Jeremy Scott, the President of the West End Association, to discuss how the oldest neighborhood in Dallas utilizes every mode of transportation.

The West End section of Dallas, TX is well over a hundred years with rustic brick buildings having been updated to be a fit for a modern work, play, live area. But the older infrastructure creates challenges: parking is very limited, the light rail train track is a vital part of connecting other parts of the city with this neighborhood, Mobility-as-a-Service options such as scooters creates opportunities but also threatens to block store fronts.

To hear more of Jeremy Scott’s initiatives on working with the city as well as special interest groups to invest in transportation options that will help to move people both within and out of the cit and how to analyze the “butterfly effect” when creating a new route for city transportation be sure to tune in to this episode of MarketScale’s Roads, Rails & Rides.

Element’s Charlotte lab makes tensile specimens from turbine blade roots

Element’s Charlotte lab makes tensile specimens from turbine blade roots

Element Materials Technology’s Charlotte lab wire-EDMs one-eighth-inch cylinders from the root of a turbine blade and low-stress grinds them into tensile specimens—work value stream manager Daniel Steele says he’s not aware other labs do at this size. The lab, which invested $3.2 million in 2019 according to Aerospace Manufacturing and Design, is adding creep and stress rupture frames under a lease signed in January.

  • 01The extraction know-how has a paper trail: Aerospace Manufacturing and Design reported in March 2019 that Element’s $3.2 million Charlotte investment included EDM plunge machines—and that Charlotte was the first Element lab to install them for extracting cylindrical specimen blanks.
  • 02Deloitte's November 2025 outlook put manufacturing construction spending down 7% year over year by July 2025, so a lab adding floor space and creep frames is growing inside one of the few pockets Deloitte flagged for expansion.
