I can't see the picture for some reason, but I still would love to know the place you found to shoot.

I have found a few very cool places where I can get the railroad bridge as well as the new bridge. I also belong to a meetup group that has three scheduled meetups in different places to shoot downtown. DFW Photography Group (Rockwall, TX) - Meetup.com

I think I tied reloading it to flickr cause of quality issues that I thought were happening but it was just te picture. I'll find the location when I get home and let you know.

I like that shot! Downtown is harder to shoot than you'd think, because there are so many ugly things that get in the way of otherwise good shooting locations.

I can't seem to find the exact geotagged info that I came across last time, but the way I got to this spot was by looking at this angle of downtown and exploring the levy area. Eventually I ended up parking the car off some street, crossing a small body of water, climbing the hill of the levy and down the other side near the closest "angle" of this shot. There was quite a bit of walking. I did see some apartment complexes that would have been much easier to start at when I got to the spot.
