By Bruce Felps Just read Unfair Park, which reported that a stretch of Lowest Greenville Avenue, between Bell and Alta avenues, closes to southbound traffic come Monday. Anyone who’s driven, or walked, down there in recent months has seen the beginnings of transformation brought on by the new planned development district.
By Bruce Felps The Garland Road corridor isn’t the only thoroughfare in East Dallas to receive visions of revitalization and restoration. The Ferguson Road stretch between Buckner Boulevard and Interstate 635 has been the target of overhaul ideas and plans prepared and championed by the Ferguson Road Initiative, Greater Casa View Alliance, and Omniplan Architects, [...]
By Bruce Felps Be alert driving northbound along Skillman Street this afternoon. Construction closed the right lane from Belmont Avenue to Lakeshore Drive, and traffic needs to merge left even though you just know someone’s going to try to line jump from the light.
By Bruce Felps An alert reader just sent an e-mail message informing us that traffic lights in the Abrams Road-Gaston Avenue area are out as is the power at Whole Foods-Lakewood, at the same intersection.

The opening sentence, the “lede” in media-speak, included the phrase “Some area residents groused a bit about the inconvenience of yet another marathon ….” The e-mailer turned out to be one [...]
By Bruce Felps I remember an old psychology textbook I had that contained a section on anxiety and its various causes, choices and indecisiveness among them. An illustration depicted a mule standing between two bales of hay. The image made the animal look to be on the brink of an aneurysm because it couldn’t decide [...]
By Bruce Felps Rock ‘n’ roll wreaks its rhythmic havoc on the neighborhood Sunday morning when the Dallas Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon runs through. Organizers laid out a course from City Hall to Fair Park that takes the long way between those two points. A straight-line route won’t be much of a course for [...]
By Bruce Felps Photographic contributor Lilia Estrada captured the damage to a Lower Greenville-area fence after a car crashed into it early this morning. The incident happened about 1:15 a.m. at the corner of La Vista Drive and Hubert Street, about three blocks east of Greenville Avenue. Estrada’s neighbor, who requested anonymity, said he heard [...]
