Junius Heights Residents Invited to Ribbon Cutting at Lipscomb May 18

Residents of Junius Heights have been invited to Lipscomb Elementary’s playground ribbon-cutting ceremony, this coming Friday May 18th at 9 am. Our neighborhoods enjoy the playground at Lipscomb, so now is time we say a big thanks to those who worked so hard to put it there. The groups who so generously enabled the playground to be built were the Swiss Avenue Historical District, the East Dallas Exchange Club and the Lipscomb PTA.

Mrs. Gonzalez, the Principal is always reminding us that it is a community playground, so we can show our community spirit by attending. Kids are of course invited and the school is providing some refreshments.

Hope to see you there on Friday.

City Council to Vote on Cement Policy on Wednesday, May 14, 2007

The Dallas City Council will vote on a new “green” cement policy on “Wednesday, May 14. The City Staff has recommended the proposed policy which will allow Dallas to only buy cement from plants that use newer less polluting “dry process” technology rather than the obsolete, dirtier “wet process” production of cement. The proposed policy institutionalizes current practices that the city already uses and there is no anticipated cost increase. Contact information for our City Council Representatives is given below.

There is a girl going door to door with an art portfolio asking people for their opinion on her art work. She has several people waiting around the corner in a silver mini van with the license plate TX 515 PRK. According to the police, it is a rental. She cases houses and if the coast is clear, a break-in subsequently follows. The group was recently seen in Munger Place. Call 911 if you see anything suspicious. They may have changed rental vehicles.

Packs of Dogs Terrorize Neighborhood

A pack of dogs has been terrorizing the neighborhoods of East Dallas. Last week, two dogs were seen on Dumont. They had trapped something underneath a car and were waiting to attack. The two dogs were described as being a small to medium long-haired black dog and a small to medium tan short-haired dog. Animal control was called but was not able to catch them. Two neighborhood cats were killed in this vicinity two weeks ago. If at all possible, bring your pets in during the night. These dogs can be dangerous.

Docents Needed for Swiss Avenue Tour

/in

A home in the Junius Heights Historic District, 5450 Gaston Avenue, will be included in the Swiss Avenue Tour of Homes on Mother’s Day Weekend, May 12, 13. The Swiss Avenue HD is including this historic house on their tour because they would like to spotlight a home in the newly created JHHD and to show that preservation extends across established historic districts. We are all very grateful to the people on Swiss Avenue for their support in the creation of the Junius Heights Historic District and
their continued encouragement.

We need docents for this event. It would be great if volunteers from JHHD could staff this event! If you can help, please contact Marsue Williams at Marsue@touchstonerealty.com. Thank you!!
