In Dallas, the demolition of the Cole Manor Motel has been a welcome development for local businesses. The motel's presence had been associated with various problems, including a high volume of criminal activity.

Business owners in the area had been affected by the motel's presence, with one owner noting the issues it brought. The owner of a recording studio nearby had tried to address these problems for three years.
