apeppard@dallasnews.comOne of the main goals of the $25 million remodel of the hotel and dining room at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek was to refocus much of the restaurant toward the window-filled Veranda and the Mansion's outdoor patio with its manicured lawn sloping toward the creek.
The patio has spent decades woefully ignored.
On Friday, rock star and former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters made excellent use of the refurbished spot.
As lunch guests took their seats on the patio, they got to see the mastermind behind Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall concept albums, engaged in a competitive game of gin with a companion.
Sufficiently relaxed from his cards, Mr. Waters headed to Superpages.com Center at Fair Park (formerly Smirnoff Music Centre, formerly Coca-Cola Starplex), where he and his band performed the entire Dark Side of the Moon album.
