Yes The Condoms to Go mentioned in the article is the small building between the emergency room and Red Hot and Blue.

Indeed - Arlington has its own issues. It's a desolate location with no amenities at all on-site and difficult accessibility during Rangers or Cowboys games.
IF Arlington is built (remember it's been > 224 days since the city council approved it), I would be happy to have the choice.
Very true. This Dallas location is 7 miles from I-30 and 15 miles from I-20.
Ah, sprawl.
I think it does a few of things:
- Alternative for some travel through Dallas, especially if Arlington, TX area is to be avoided.
- I-20E - I-35N
- Fastest* route from S/W through Dallas to St Louis, MO goes that way.
There are a bunch of sprawling cities that really need multiple Superchargers because one can't adequately cover all the routes through.
* According to Google. I have no idea if it's correct.

Personally, I stay off 75 since it's a parking lot for so much of the day, but it's no doubt hard to turn down a location offered by a company with Tesla ties.
So according to TreeHouse's website, the address is 8021 Walnut Hill Ln, which is actually on the other side of the building from the pictures I took. I'll try and take some photos from the other lot tonight or tomorrow.
I have also submitted the address to supercharge.info, so it show up there soonish.
Anyone know how to search for permits in Dallas? The store is supposed to come online in "spring 2017" and I would assume the charger would be targeted around the same time, so a permit should be in the works.

I see permits for Treehouse and a restaurant at that address, but that's all. It's possible the actual location for the SC would be at a different address. Checking now.
From the article above:
"Houndstooth Coffee is opening inside two tiny houses being built on the property along the N. Central Expressway frontage road where the Condoms To Go building was torn down."
and
"Tesla is opening a Supercharger station, the only one inside the city of Dallas, next to Houndstooth and TreeHouse's outdoor living display area."
That building being torn down is at 9740 N. Central Expy. At 9730 N. Central Expy I see a permit for "ADDITION OF TWO NEW MODULAR BUILDINGS".
No permits for a Supercharger that I can find. I dont think @BlueShift will take it as valid until there is a permit application.

Sorry, meant to give the site to search permits

Best to enter a range of addresses, and remember you only need to look at odd numbers for Walnut Hill addresses and even numbers for N. Central Expy addresses. Oh, and it needs to be "Expy" -- don't spell it out.

Okay, got some better pictures: (imgur album)

Closer look at the construction. Didn't want to get too close and have people start asking questions.

Here's more information about it (found this on the /r/Dallas subreddit today) Eco-friendly TreeHouse store's firsts include Tesla supercharger and more | Retail | Dallas News
Great pics! Hope your compass is off and not theirs -- the roof is supposed to be covered with solar panels, which have to face south. Your picture facing north you cant even see the roof.
Edit: Oh never mind, I see what you meant!

Houndstooth Coffee in Austin was solid when I lived there. It'll be a huge step up (a whole staircase?) from the Starbucks at other locations.

I'm one of those Uptown condo dwellers and close to taking delivery (with FUSC). Luckily we have a garage, but I anticipate using this location from time to time while out and about. From what I can gather, Texas supercharging culture is far different from California supercharging culture when it comes to using it for local driving due to Tesla density.

Very much looking forward to this becoming available. It's a perfect location for destination charging when I drive up from Houston and stay for 2-3 days. Hit the Corsicana SC on the way up, use this to charge while in Dallas, and then fill up before heading home.
I'm still watching to see if there is any progress. The Red Hot & Blue is already looking a lot nicer on the outside and the TreeHouse is taking shape. I'm not exactly sure where the Superchargers are going to be, but the lot on the TreeHouse side remains unpaved at this time. They're currently repaving right in front of Red Hot & Blue, but heavy construction vehicles are being used with the TreeHouse construction, so it might be a while until that gets paved. I pass it by on the highway, so it's hard to get a detailed look though.
