# As I can see that very heliport from my window, I agree.
It's dark and there are no bugs on it.

# Not too many.
However, pissing towards it is common. Parking lot on shore
and small park with rock beach form a cove. The photo is
old and does not have the recent dock(behind) extension.

# All eyes gaze curiously as he glides along the ice smoothly and effortlessly, leaving a trail behind him.
His routine is fairly standard, yet perplexing and intriguing. In the ice hockey mecca that is Yost Arena, when the skaters leave the ice, fans are left to grapple with the mythical creature that replaces them. Then the fans discover the zen of Zamboni.

# While other ice resurfacers do exist, Frank Zamboni's 1940's invention continues to reign as king of the ice.

# "If you go too fast, you're not making good ice. If you go too slow, you're putting too much water down on the ice and you're also wasting energy"
The Zamboni drivers strive to create perfect ice or "a sheet of glass".

# Don't talk to Doug Peters about the nation's frigid finances.
Mr. Peters is the regional sales director for Zamboni, makers of the giant, wheeled machines that resurface the world's skate-scarred hockey rinks. And business is so hot that the company just purchased a vintage 1980 machine for $1,500 during a recent auction of surplus equipment at Reunion Arena, which Dallas City Hall officially closed this summer.

"We're booked up with orders until early 2010," Mr. Peters said. "There's a real shortage of used machines on the marketplace. There are more rinks opening than ever before. We're just kind of bucking the trend of the bad economy."

Dallas' auction, conducted online during mid- to late-September, netted the city a shade under $100,000, according to city records.

So what do folks buy at an auction of sports arena items? Just about everything apparently.

Player lockers went for $450, a photocopying machine for $500, fire extinguishers for $650.

A firm $8,000 bought the arena's basketball floor. The turf on which the Dallas Sidekicks indoor soccer team used to play? Just $1,500.

Auction proceeds will roll into the Dallas Convention Center's budget, said Frank Poe, Dallas' director of convention and event services.

The auction generated about as much money as city officials had expected, Mr. Poe said, adding that the city may yet sell more Reunion Arena assets before demolition of the facility is scheduled to commence next year.

Mike Talkington, a former Dallas resident who now runs an ice rink supply business in Parker, Colo., purchased Reunion Arena's second Zamboni machine – a 1993 model – for $2,500.

Soon after, he resold it to a youth hockey organization in Buffalo, N.Y., home of the National Hockey League's Buffalo Sabres. To this day, Buffalonians smart over the 1999 Stanley Cup finals loss to the Dallas Stars.

"They really wanted" the machine, Mr. Talkington said of the group. "But they bought it with the stipulation that it didn't have any Dallas Stars logos on it."
